From 2004- 2012

Just showing that Rihanna started charting shortly after
2005 actually in 2006 and these are Global Archives Albums sales....
PS
I don't want no fight just showing many that Rihanna can/do sell Albums and if you don't believe this then
global Charts is there and they have all of the artist listed..
