What a tangled web Rihanna weaves.
Yes, while her team’s ear for a hit has seen her become Pop’s reigning singles chart Queen, it seems they are yet to convince fans that the albums they come in aid of are worth their hard earned cash.
For, in what will come as a cruel and unusual shock for her loyal supports, her 2010 LP ‘Loud’ is still yet to hit US sales of 2 million copies, after being outsold by Nicki Minaj‘s debut LP ‘Pink Friday‘- released in the same month.
Unfortunate news below…
While Minaj‘s ‘Pink Friday‘ reached US sales of 1,774,000 million by February 2012, this week saw ‘Loud’ move an unfortunate 2,482 copies in the market, bringing it to sales of 1,705,994…three years after its November 12th 2010 arrival.
Mind blowing, considering the gargantuan feats scored by its singles, ‘Only Girl In The World‘, ‘What’s My Name‘, ‘California King Bed‘, ‘S&M (featuring Britney Spears)’ and its supporting ‘LOUD’ world tour which generated a sweet $90 million for the Pop sensation.
US album sales: @rihanna, Loud2,482 (1,705,944 total).
— Chart News (@chartnews) January 6, 2013
What’s more worrying though, is that it has now less than 400,000 copies away from being outsold by Beyonce‘s lowest selling album ‘4’, which had moved 1.3 million units in the US by October 2012, and 2 million copies worldwide.
As it stands, ‘Loud’ has been certified 6x Platinum in the UK, 5x Platinum in Ireland but only 2x Platinum in the US for shipments of 2 million units to retailers. It’s arrival came two years before the release of her seventh studio album ‘Unapologetic’, which features contributions from ‘The Dream‘, Sia and ‘XOX’ singer Elijah Blake.
Lol
Ultimate Kiii.
Where’s Celine now though? Still twerking it for that OAP she married?
You’re really coming for Celine b****? Like really? Don’t play yourself hunny, don’t f***** your play yourself.

Your promiscuous fav could and will never!
Look at this dumbass trying to come for the LEGENDARY Celine Dion. That’s what Rihanna stans do. Celine has sold 220 million albums, played sold out stadiums around the world, has CLASSICS that people will listen to 50 years from now and is a truly TALENTED artist. F*** outta here.
I see the Navy have reached a new level of disrespect. Never thought i’d see the day when a Titanic crew member would have the balls to throw shade at her majesty Celine.
I dont eeeeven havta slay icki here…Rhi stans will chile
Ill just read the comment and laugh
It’s not the Navy who is disrespecting…it’s only one person. Please, take a seat, all of you!
I am waiting for Baby Blu Ivy Carter’s numbers to be posted tomorrow and they too will OUT SELL RIHANNA!!! NAVY!!!
Taylor swift sold 3 million in about 6 weeks.
and her legs will continue to spread as often as Rihanna releasing a successful single
How’d you know if she’s having s** with the guys she’s seen with.
People are only making a big deal because whatever Taylor does.. It news.. Thats what happens when your the biggest pop star in the world.
and the biggest w****
Gurrl, we all know Taylor is an industry ho. She’s probably screwing the head of every radio station in the country.
DEAD @IMFREE LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!
Swift’s second album, Fearless, was released in 2008. Buoyed by the pop crossover success of the singles “Love Story” and “You Belong with Me”, Fearless became the top-selling album of 2009 and was supported by an extensive concert tour. The record won four Grammy Awards, with Swift becoming the youngest ever Album of the Year winner.
But Taylor is a s*** though. If she’s free enough to have as many boyfriends as she’s had in public, who knows what she does behind close doors.
Who says they’re boyfriends? just cause she’s seen with them, doesn’t mean she’s dating them.
I think a lot of the hate Taylor gets in case she’s so massive now. ALOT of people hate her for it.
if she wasnt huge, no one would give a s*** who she dates.
@taylor u brought this own yoself by ALWAYS throwin her in every post…u had it comn now theyll drag her p**** every chance they get. ROFLMAO!
Im sorry but how is an Xtina fan talking about someone being a h**? Didn’t she cheat on her husband?
@ All you Bytches Calling Taylor, Rih Names They
are not the only One’s who do their thing,,,,

Taylor is selling her ass off,,, look to the last row
of Numbers,,,,
http://www.webcitation.org/6BY2gJrJq
And even at that there are around a dozen, artiat
who’s sales are over the Million Mark and while Rihanna is One of them that means that RIHANNA is doing something right. Because Is Rih wasn’t then she would not be on this list with the sales she’s got Therefore I suppose it’ssafe to say that all of the artist on the chart who has not sole over a Million are all Talentless, and Loosers, Rih Haters!!
B**** get another word the word hate is played out.It is the f****** truth she is a h** but a delusional b**** like you can’t see it.I did not like from her first album so that huge thing is b******* and biggest pop star b**** no one really checking for her go on the streets and ask anyone who is the biggest pop star LG,Rihanna or even B name people will say So bye b****.
With that title, it’s clear Ms. Fenty has been “inspired” by her better selling contemporaries Beyonce and Adele. For her sake, though, it’ll need to pack the quality their albums did, for she -once again-faces another chart showdown that sees her have slim chance of nabbing the top spot on the Billboard 200.
The date, which is a mere five weeks away, will see Chris Brown‘s reported lover (again) battle it out with R&B favourite Keyshia Cole. Other major releases on that day come courtesy of AC/DC and Kid Rock…
YOUR WORDS NOT MINE AND WHERE IS BEYONCE’S ALBUMS WW AS COMPARED TO RIHANNA’S ALBUM I MEAN BEYONCE IS MENTIONED IN THE STATEMENT AND WHERE IS BEYONCE ALBUM AS COMPARED TO RIHANNA ‘S “UNA’ SINCE RIHANNA’S LAST ALBUM HAS MOVED 1.6 MILLION UNITS SINCE IT WAS DROPPED AND WHERE IS AC/DC ON THE FUKIN CHARTS,,,,
@King B>Rihanna Taylor is the biggest pop star in the world.. She’s number 1 in the global charts..
“no one is really checking for her” You’re clearly missing the 4.1 million she’s sold in 10 weeks then.
YOU ALL JUST WISH YOUR FAV COULD SELL TAYLORS NUMBERS.
Taylor, Rihanna and Rita are not the only
folks who can wear that Ho Title around
their crown, Bytches!!
That ho Taylor… that b**** probably has a sore jaw juggling those Music exec d****…her time will come when she has to meet her end of the deal…look at Mariah, 2PAC, Eminem, MJ, Britney etc having meltdowns because the powers at the top want their return in investment and that dear means doing whatever stupid s*** they tell you! till you go nuts! Taylor isnt the only artist at present who is doing big things watch out for all these “Mega” Album/single sellers, they gonna do some dumb s***! Swifty better enjoy that s*** while it lasts…
yes she is a f-cking c-ck sucking h**.
Meltdown is what’s going to happen to Beyonce’s ass if
Her ship screws around and don’t sail!!!
http://www.paulstone.co.uk/img/resource_pool/portfolio/jay_z/jay_z_in_acrylic.jpg?resize(1000-gt-x-gt-800)
Oh well it don’t matter if Beyonce ship sails are not I remember she got Her Camel to make things come out just fine don’t she…
Hmmmm So if Justin Biebers, and Munford & sons are the only Artist to release during the Time Span Listed and these Two Artist are the only One’s who has sold over a Million each then do that mean that all of the others are less of a artist,,,
http://www.hitsdailydouble.com/sales/sales_ur.cgi
I just need the clarity on whos’ who and what with these charts, you know!!
Lol @ everybody going off on Taylor Swift being an industry h**.
At least she can say she’s not alone with the likes of Rihanna and Rita Ora.
Taylor is a great Artist and I Respect Taylor’s Hustle and who

And this is someone beyonce is supposed to be afraid of ?SMH…The navy and their delusions.
LOUD HAS SOLD 7 MILLION
@Bey fake and???

7 million
Well, if you want to use Mediatraffic numbers I Am Sasha Fierce has sold 5.5 k worldwide. Then we can say that Loud with its 5.6 k has outsold it. 😉
IASF SOLD 9 MILL WW
@Erin
In which world? In this one probably not 😉
U keep saying that, over & over again, but u don’t mention that it didn’t even reach 2 mill in The US. Why is that? Lol at least we know when the US is done with her she’ll sit pretty over seas.

VERY INTERESTING READ,,,,
Maybe the reports of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West rejecting a $3 million offer for baby photos aren’t quite as noble as they appeared.
According to a new HollywoodLife.com report, Kardashian and West may have felt the $3 million figure wasn’t enough for a first look at the most anticipated baby of 2013 (at least, in the U.S.).
HollywoodLife cites a “friend of the Kardashian family” saying that Kardashian’s mother, Kris Jenner, told Kim and Kanye not to sell: “Kris instructed Kim and Kanye to NOT sell photos of their baby for a mere $3 million! Kris thinks they could get double the amount.”
As TMZ originally reported with the spin that Kardashian and West were selflessly rejecting the $3 million offer, the celebrity baby photo market is a hot one. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie apparently landed $4.1 million for pics of baby Shiloh in 2006, and $14 million for their twins two years later. Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony nabbed $6 million for the debut of their twins.
If even Matthew McConaughey managed $3 million for a photo of his baby, why wouldn’t Kardashian and West expect more?
HollywoodLife quotes a second source saying: “The main reason that Kim is not selling her pics yet is because she knows she will get more money once it gets closer to the birth, and also she doesn’t want to sell the pics yet because Kanye thinks that it is bad luck. He thinks that if they sell now, and something goes wrong with the pregnancy then he would definitely think that is the reason. He is very superstitious!”
I do not like Rihanna but simple math tells you that Beyonce and “4” isn’t 4,000 copies away from outselling “Loud”. It is 400,000 copies away, which is more than a year’s worth of sales.
If rihanna’s album leaked a month prior to the release date it would be TRAGIC!!!!!!! I’m very proud that bey sold the amount that she sold after what happend.
Loud did leak dumbass
It did, I downloaded, the point is it didn’t leak a MONTH in advance, dumb navi goat
http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/industry/record-labels/uk-s-top-selling-2011-albums-and-singles-1005779952.story

There’s room for Nicki and Rihanna and if you don’t like
one or the others that’;s okay too.
Rihanna’s debut studio album, Music of the Sun (2005), peaked at number ten on the Billboard 200 and features the Billboard Hot 100 top five hit single “Pon de Replay”.
Now aint that a b****.
Rihanna
Her second album, A Girl Like Me (2006), peaked at number five in the United States, and produced her first Hot 100 number one single, “SOS”.
Lets talk about WW numbers though? Weak shade, Samantha.
#BOOM NICKI CANNT EVEN GET A SOLDOUT TOUR!! RIHANNA IS SELLING OUT SOCCER STADIUMS WORLDWIDE!!

@BEY FAKE…BEY A FLOP…BEY A LIAR…BEY A PLAGERIST…BEY A HOOD HIVE!!!
2 soccer stadiums in Europe, not sure in Africa maybe 1,2 in South Africa but in Europe the prices of those tickets had to be slashed! only tickets below 100 Euros sold fast, no one was going to pay 300-500 Euros a ticket…are u insane? for Rihanna? expensive tickets were around 150-250 euros.(Excluding VIP)
SHE STILL SELLINGOUT SOCCER STADIUMS B****!!
@CBE I have no quarrels with people feeling a certain way about artist but what I do find alarming is how people are so quick to call others Ugly. It just seems to follow Black Folks though I notice. You see @CBE See the man who’s in the Blessing Business made Us all the way he wanted all of us to be, all of Us couldn’t be born light, bright and dam near white. And you can go back and read Me and very seldom do I base my comments on looks, and money but I talk about them both often because it seems that is the only thing many of you can understand. While I know that in Your Book you see Rihanna as Ugly but in my book I see Whoopie, Percious, Jayz and Rihanna as all very Beautiful I suppose that is the different Between a Real Person, you know Human being and a Flaky Jakie like many of Rihanna’s haters and Another thing None of us can HELP IT IF WE WASN’T BLESSED WITH BLONDE HAIR AND BLUE EYES., and light bright and dam near white, i suppose you know that Mariah’s mom is white, right!

Loud has sold over 5 mil worldwide, wheres RR at?
LOUD SOLD MORE THAN 6 MILLION COPIES WW!!!!!
Ahahahahaha this girl is totally average in the sales department. She is no queen. Watch the Navy come with their 43985397457347593459 contradictory excuses now.
Her fourth album, Rated R (2009), produced the top ten singles “Russian Roulette”, “Hard”, and “Rude Boy”, with the latter achieving the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100.
Ok i like Nicki alot!!!!! And Im not one to like Rihanna’s albums…..in fact i hate most of them But……as a person who looks at the charts just as close as Billboards does it is fact that Lound has sold over 6million copies being one of her biggest albums to date! And yes she does not sell albums like Gaga or Taylor Swift but her singles have put her over the 70million album sold mark making her one of the biggest stars next to the likes of Adele,Gaga, Beyonce and Taylor! So at the end I don’t think Rihanna cares. Lol
” have put her over the 70million album sold”
WHAT??? Stop lying b****. R****** barely sold 30 million albums WW. :sipspepsi:
Gilberto so pressed you can’t read and comprehend. They are talking about singles b****. Now choke
@gilberto , RIGHT ! How the f*** does her single sales translate to album sales ? The fact that she isn’t even close to selling 40 million albums WW Is laughable , smfh dumbass Stans .
37 million albums sold!! *grabs your pepsi and pours it out*
37? LMAO 25 million. Get the facts straight.
25 million.
Rihanna sold 25 million albums and 65 million digital downloads. There is a difference between the two.
Selling singles is not selling albums.
@Jenni
You are using Wikipedia as your source. Rihanna has sold over 100 million singles as a solo artist according to Meaditraffic and over 125 million singles including her collaborations (Diamonds is still selling though). She has sold 60 million singles just in the USA and she’s the biggest selling digital artist there of all time.
Wikepedia needs to be updated!! according to def jam( the label that pays her) she 37 and counting million worldwide
Rihanna
Rihanna’s fifth album, Loud (2010), spawned the number one hit singles “Only Girl (In the World)”, “What’s My Name?”, and “S&M”.
Rihanna is a SINGLES artist!! We all know that! I mean she has a WW smash Good campaign But YET to sell 1.5 m ww…. But seriously I didn’t know loud sold that much O_o
Unapologetic has sold 1 806 000 copies. You tried though 😉
Rihanna
Her sixth album, Talk That Talk (2011), served the worldwide chart topper “We Found Love” and the top five single “Where Have You Been”.
Poor dat!
Rihanna
Rihanna’s seventh album, Unapologetic (2012), was preceded by the lead single “Diamonds”, which became Rihanna’s twelfth number one on the Billboard Hot 100.
That’s Because Def jam Can buy her singles and pay for radio play. Youtube views . Facebook followers etc But they Can’t buy all her albums!!!!!! Its obvious
Coming off two Grammy wins for her contribution to Jay-Z’s 2010 Grammy Award winning single “Run This Town”, Rihanna took home another trophy at this year’s ceremony.
Earning the title for ‘Best Dance Recording’, RiRi, along with producers Stargate’s hit single ‘Only Girl (In The World)’ beat Lady Gaga and La Roux in the highly contested category.
Stargate’s Erik Hermansen spoke on the Grammy win from the press room at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
“Commercial success doesn’t always equate to winning a Grammy. Competition was stiff—I think the Robyn record is great. Lady Gaga was Gaga was there,” says the producer . “Rihanna came to us before we started recording this record and said ‘I feel great about myself. I want to go back to having fun, I want to make happy and up-tempo records.
Rihanna’s work has earned her numerous awards and accolades, including five Grammy Awards, five American Music Awards, eighteen Billboard Music Awards and two BRIT Awards.
a Trasha stan….. i cant
Meanwhile ……. Whitney Houston 1,789,000
In 2012, Rihanna was arwarded by her label, Def Jam, for selling 100 million records worldwide since the beginning of her career in 2005, which makes her one of the best selling artists of all time.
Awwww s***…..here comes the stan wars…..be prepared for this post to hit almost 1,000 comments. LOL! TGJ knows how to get the war started on here to get those hits! Ya’ll are so gullible!
lmao! This will be entertaining *gets popcorn*
Rih,
She has achieved a total of twelve number one singles on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, becoming the youngest solo artist to achieve the feat.
I didn’t know Flopnika sold like that. Too bad about the second album.
RIHAANA,
The recipient of six Grammy Awards and seven Billboard Music Awards, Rihanna has sold over 37 million albums and 146 million digital tracks worldwide, and currently holds the record as the top-selling digital artist of all time. Forbes named Rihanna the world’s #1 social media star with over 2.9 billion views on YouTube / Vevo, the most ever for any female artist, over 60 million Facebook fans, and over 26.5 million Twitter followers. In addition to her 11 Hot 100 #1 singles and overall 22 Top 10 singles, Rihanna also has 18 #1 singles on the Billboard Dance Club Song Charts.
People dont respect her albums as a collective body of work. Shes never been a good album seller, the amount of hit singles she has, she should be slaying everybody, but shes running a tiresome race trying to keep up with them.
Billboard named Rihanna the Digital Songs Artist of the 2000s decade, and ranked her as the seventeenth overall artist of the same decade.
@BAM But her haters and the likes of yo ass ‘
says she can’t sing, though. So with her not being able
to sing great She should be doing nothing in the SELLING DEPARTMENT., RIGHT?
The Titanic are gonna be so pressed when they get here.
WE ARE NOT PRESSED NEVER , NAVY KNOW THAT RIHANNA ,,,, HAS BEEN COMPARED TO EVERYBODY INCLUDING BATMAN WITH HER CAREER MOVES AND SALES,,,
NEXT WEE RIHANNA NUMBERS WILL BE COMPARED TO BABY BLU NUMBERS WHEN THE CHARTS POST THEM , WE KNOW AND WE DO UNDERSTAND THE HATE FOR,,,,RIHANNA!!!
But sisters, are we forgetting Taylor outsold all of them in a week.
No b**** we didn’t forget, but since we’re talking numbers need I remind you that Taylor will NEVER beat Britney’s first week record so I’ll need you take a seat on the nearest seat you can find my dear.
Feel free to eat my p**** darling. You’re worried about Queen Taylor when you should be wondering if Brit Brit took her medication today.
@TAYLOR WINS Taylor has been Out selling Beyonce and Others for years, If you pay close ATTENTION to the Global
World Charts you will see how well Taylor has been doing.
The Haterd are mad because they know that Taylor has been Out Selling Beyonce’s ass and Taylor is some one to watch. The Bey Hive will be kissing Lady GaGa, Taylor and Adeles ASSES really good because they are shaky about them year end sales and they know that Taylor holds her own and so does Rihanna.

I just wonder why RIHANNA isn’t stackee aganist Rita, Kelly,
and artist of her age and you know I see Adele having mopped the floors and waxed them with the likes of Beyonce, Gaga, and others but the FIXATION is solely on RIHANNA, telling many that RIHANNA ASS IS THE BUSINESS!!!!!LOL!!
They always says that Rihanna isn’t selling according to her Popularity then if that be the case then what in the hell is wrong with all the others who are just as popular, you know like all of the EX DESTINY Childs members and that rita chick they are all SUYPPOSED to be more talented, cuter and can do it better then rih, rhi lmao.
lmao whos checking for Taylor?
Why isn’t alicia keys compared to others, what about Kellys, numbers I mean after all they say that RIHANNA isn’;t talented they laugh at all of her performances and make fun of her all year long and tries to make it seem like shes not all that but hey RIHANNA is the Business that is why they are working over time trying to get that fire Built under BEYONCE’S BOOTY PADS, WITH A QUICKNESS WE SEE!!!!
I AM PROUD OF NICKI AND I RESPECT HER HUSTLE AND NICK ISN’T THE FIRST AND SHE WANT BE THE LAST ARTIST THAT IS STACKED UP AGANIST RIHANNA NO WAY HOSEA,,,,
@J Her fans are checking for her and that
is why she can even out sell many!!!
In 2012, Forbes ranked her as the fourth most powerful celebrity of 2012 with earnings of $53 million between May 2011 and May 2012. The same year, American magazine Time named Rihanna one of the most influential people in the world, STAY PRESSED BYTCHES AND WHO WILL RIHANNA BE COMPARED TO NEXT WEEK ,,,,PERHAPS IT

We need to get back unapologetic in the itunes top 50. This B**** also need to stop with that embarrassing Chris Brown thing…. ain’t nobody got time for that. 😐
She could release more naked pics instead . I want to see her asshole 😮
STFU
That b**** came to Chris and I also dont even trust her intentions but hey they both dont give a f*** what we think…but Rihanna is a basic b**** she’s not even beautiful that make up makes her look ok…in my country girls would make her look like the bottom of some Timbalands, the only difference is her bank account…otherwise no one would give her a second glance, BASICALLY what Im saying is I lost respect for her when she chose to bury Chris in 2009 and commited herself in selling her soul, if Chris hit her which is wrong why havent they both come out and told us what happened in 09? whats the Agenda? have they been told to keep quiet? because Im tired of hearing Music fans talking about b******* they know nothing about.
RU SICK? RIHANNA IS GORGEOUS WITHOUT MAKEUP LOOK AT ALL HER IG PHOTOS WITHOUT MAKEUP!!

But we all Forgetting Bey GAga Rihanna Nicki all out sold Mariah last ablum (:
Mariah couldn’t sell p**** rejuvenation ointment to Octomom.
We all know Music Box has outsold their total album sales world wide. 32+ million off one album.
Yes but when albums used to sell hugely in the past. If Beyonce/Rihanna/Lady GaGa had released their albums 20 years ago they would have sold probably more. When it comes to 2000s, Breakaway has outsold The Emancipation of Mimi worldwide ooops. So did The Fame.
I mean Kelly Clarkson – Breakaway
Lady Gaga – The Fame 😉
Are you forgetting that Mariah is in her 23+ year into her career now? Lets see where they are in 23+ year in their careers and come back to me then. What is the point of comparing someone’s 1st album to another 9th album?
Emancipation sold 5 million in the U.S. and 12+ million ww with 2 #1 singles, 3 Grammys, and many other awards. Congrats to Kelly and Gaga for selling well with their 1st albums’ Mariah’s 1st album sold 9 million in the U.S. 15+ million ww with 4 #1 singles and 2 Grammys + other awards. It funny because you compared Gaga’s and Kelly’s most successful albums to Mariah’s 5/6th most successful album.
1. Music Box
2. Daydream
3. #1s
4. Butterfly
5. Mariah Carey
6. The Emancipation of Mimi
As I told you, Mariah had released her music 20 years ago when muisc market was huge and albums used to sell well so your point is invalid.
Btw, what makes you think that Mariah has sold over 12 million copies with The emancipation of Mimi..? With these certifications?
Australia (ARIA) Platinum[116]
Brazil (ABPD) Gold[163]

It’s was a big album just in the USA, it underperformed everywhere else and it didn’t sell 12 million copies for sure. If it did, its certifications will look like this honey 😉

Breakaway hasn’t had any #1 singles but has outsold Mariah even in the USA, don’t even talk about worldwide sales. And Breakaway was Kelly’s second album, not 1st.
“As I told you, Mariah had released her music 20 years ago when muisc market was huge and albums used to sell well so your point is invalid.”
It isn’t anymore invalid than you comparing Kelly’s 2nd album album (at her peak) which happen to be her most successful album to Mariah’s 10th album which happens to be her 5th most successful album as well as 15+ years into her career. How is it comparable? BTW, the music climate in 2004 was great (hence why “Confessions” when to Diamond and many people were able to see albums). You do know that despite people doing well in the 90s Mariah had major competition and selling 32+ million copies of one album isn’t an easy feat. 🙄
“It’s was a big album just in the USA, it underperformed everywhere else and it didn’t sell 12 million copies for sure. If it did, its certifications will look like this honey ;)”
It underperformed elsewhere? 😆 REALLY now? According to YOUR source, Wikipedia, TEOM has sold 6 million in the U.S. (same as Breakaway) and, I quote, “By April 2008, The Emancipation of Mimi had sold more than 12 million copies worldwide.[133]”. KEY DATE BEING AS OF APRIL 2008.
And again, according to Wikipedia (YOUR source) Breakaway has also sold over 12 million. ” However, with worldwide sales of over 12 million copies, Breakaway is the most successful album by an Idol overall.”
So it “underperformed” elsewhere even though it sold 6 million or OVER outside the U.S.? What about Breakaway that did the same thing? People are still talking about Emancipation as one of the greatest comeback albums and is often used to compare others comebacks while I’ve never heard anyone (besides you today) talk about Breakaway. You have to most flawed logic and argument, which is no surprise.
“Breakaway hasn’t had any #1 singles but has outsold Mariah even in the USA, don’t even talk about worldwide sales. And Breakaway was Kelly’s second album, not 1st.”
You have the answer above.
Breakaway: ” However, with worldwide sales of over 12 million copies, Breakaway is the most successful album by an Idol overall.”
TEOM: “By April 2008, The Emancipation of Mimi had sold more than 12 million copies worldwide.[133]”.
► Being a pressed b**** is never a good look. At the end of the day, whether Breakaway sold more or not Mariah remain the 2nd best selling females artist of all time and Kelly remain Mariah’s fan. Sit your tired ass down somewhere.
Honey, I’m not pressed at all, but Mariah sales are inflated. Check Mediatraffic too, impossible that she has sold over 12 million copies with poor sales internationally. Yes, I used Wikipedia because you can see certifications for the albums. Do you really think that TEOM has sold the same number of albums even though Breakaway has 100 times more certifications? The answer is, hell no. According to IPFI TEOM has sold 7.7 million copies in 2005. You are trying to say me it has sold 4 + million since then?
It underperformed elsewhere? REALLY now? According to YOUR source, Wikipedia, TEOM has sold 6 million in the U.S. (same as Breakaway) and, I quote, “By April 2008, The Emancipation of Mimi had sold more than 12 million copies worldwide.[133]“. KEY DATE BEING AS OF APRIL 2008.
LOL I can’t at them and at you, you shaded yourself. 🙂 With 5-6 certifications at 12 million? Haha sure. It’s not even at 10 million copies. Can you tell me where other 6 million come from? It clearly says that By early 2008, the album’s British sales stood at more than 621,352 units.[123][124. Not even at 7 million with The USA and The Uk. Your excuse? And their link about 12 million comes from Telegraph, so it is fake for sure, like MTV claiming that Rihanna has sold 37 million albums. You are the first one who said that Rihanna’s numbers were fake 😉 Kelly’s sales /certifications can prove her numbers for sure while for Mariah it can’t be said the same.
So it “underperformed” elsewhere even though it sold 6 million or OVER outside the U.S.? What about Breakaway that did the same thing? People are still talking about Emancipation as one of the greatest comeback albums and is often used to compare others comebacks while I’ve never heard anyone (besides you today) talk about Breakaway. You have to most flawed logic and argument, which is no surprise.
Who talks about TEOM beside you? O.o Honey, Breakaway singles, even though they didn’t go at #1 have had more impact and popularity all over the world and they have sold more units than TEOM’s singles. Breakaway will stay more memorable tha TEOM for sure and the album was simply better than TEOM. Btw, I know just 5 songs from Mariah – Hero/Without You/We Belong Together/It’s Like That/Obsessed and that’s it. People are getting tired of her, that’s why no one is buying her stuff nowadays. :S
Anyway, you were the first saying Katy Perry’s Teenage Dream didn’t sell 11 million copies and used Mediatraffic figure sales.
Mariah Carey – The Emancipation Of Mimi
Island – 6.972.000 copies (In 2005)
Kelly Clarkson – Breakaway
RCA – 5.493.000 copies (in 2005)
2006
Mariah – nowhere to be seen
Kelly Clarkson – Breakaway
RCA – 3.351.000 copies
You are still claiming they’ve sold the same? 😉 Nope honey, you are pressed. Nice try though.
“Honey, I’m not pressed at all, but Mariah sales are inflated.”
And you say you’re not pressed? Mariah has sold 65 million albums in the U.S. (confirmed by Billboard so its more than reliable) and is the biggest selling western artist in Japan with over 18 million album sales (confirmed), and she’s sold over 145 million albums (Soundscan) and over 200 million records. Mariah has topped Soundscan’s yearly count with Emancipation in 2005/6 and twice with 2 different albums with Daydream and Music Box in 2 different years. So no her sales are not by any mean inflated when Madonna never even topped one year from 1992-2012.
“Check Mediatraffic too, impossible that she has sold over 12 million copies with poor sales internationally. Yes, I used Wikipedia because you can see certifications for the albums. ” So now because YOUR primary source doesn’t satisfy you, you want to dismiss it? Get over it because if you’re using it for Kelly, I’m using it for Mariah. I cannot!! At you using mediatraffic, why don’t you try Billboard and Soundscan because they are actually reliable sources that COUNT the sales and report.
“Do you really think that TEOM has sold the same number of albums even though Breakaway has 100 times more certifications? The answer is, hell no. According to IPFI TEOM has sold 7.7 million copies in 2005. You are trying to say me it has sold 4 + million since then?”
Why are you backpedaling? You used one source and I used the same source. What you think doesn’t matter, its the numbers that matters. 100 X more certification? 😆 Okay? Great for her, according to your source they both sold over 12 million world wide and 6 million in the U.S. Deal with it.
And since 2005 (8 years ago) its definitely moved some units, especially in 2006/2007 during her concerts and tour.
“LOL I can’t at them and at you, you shaded yourself. 🙂 With 5-6 certifications at 12 million? Haha sure. It’s not even at 10 million copies”
I shaded myself for using the same source that you used? 🙄 NEXT ►
“Its not 10 million copies” Really? I would like a receipt for that and NOT YOUR OPINION, as you know nothing.
“Can you tell me where other 6 million come from? It clearly says that By early 2008, the album’s British sales stood at more than 621,352 units.[123][124. Not even at 7 million with The USA and The Uk. Your excuse? And their link about 12 million comes from Telegraph, so it is fake for sure, like MTV claiming that Rihanna has sold 37 million albums. You are the first one who said that Rihanna’s numbers were fake 😉 Kelly’s sales /certifications can prove her numbers for sure while for Mariah it can’t be said the same.”
Again, you shouldn’t have used Wikipedia in the first place. And Wikipedia hasn’t said she’s sold 41 million albums and such, her label did. Again, I would like to see you disprove it, because you’re the one who cited Wiki as a source. You made your bed, now lay in it and stop complaining.
“Who talks about TEOM beside you?”
Namely, this site and many other sites who compare others comeback albums to Emancipation. Vh1, BET, Rolling stones, and many more music sites and fans cite it and STILL talk about it as one of the greatest come-backs. No one talks about Breakaway.
“Honey, Breakaway singles, even though they didn’t go at #1 have had more impact and popularity all over the world and they have sold more units than TEOM’s singles.”
What singles? Well, one holds records while the other doesn’t so NEXT.
“Breakaway will stay more memorable tha TEOM for sure and the album was simply better than TEOM.”
That’s your personal preference and thought, but no one says “will Christina Aguilera have her ‘Breakaway’ album and come back from flop?” No, they say will she have her “Emancipation of Mimi” and come back stronger. Lets also not talk about how TEOM is ranked as one of the best R&B albums of the 00s. NEXT
“I know just 5 songs from Mariah – Hero/Without You/We Belong Together/It’s Like That/Obsessed and that’s it.” Great for you, a lot of people know those songs, especially Hero, Without you, my all, etc because they are classics and still performed on singing shows and covered by many artists including KELLY CLARKSON. Same cannot be said about Kelly. Mariah is the most covered artists in singing shows like Idol, X-Factor, etc
Its not my fault that you only know 5 Mariah songs and you tell me that this is better and such. It just disproves EVERYTHING you said above because you haven’t listened to her songs/albums to judge.
“People are getting tired of her, that’s why no one is buying her stuff nowadays. :S” Like how people bought “My December” actually it has more to do with her longevity.
A little tip for you darling, saying you only 5 Mariah Carey songs and then telling me”……’s song is better than any Mariah Carey son” is not valid because you don’t even know 1/2583418155 of her discography. I hope you realize that you just gave yourself away while trying to prove to me that Mariah’s discography is not memorable. At the end of the day Kelly’s albums sales regardless of it outselling TEOM or not is NOWHERE near Mariah’s so sit your tired ass down because you tried EVERY excuse and biased opinion, but it doesn’t matter because you are one lonesome individual as opposed to the rest of the world and music industry that lists Mariah as a legend and icon. Good day and stay pressed dear.
Below is one of THE MANY Mariah covers from Kelly, and guess who she is trying to imitate in her sing style? Truly you’re so sad. 😆
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgTuaSKi3Nc
LOL I can’t believe you are still trying? Omg. Breakaway has outsold TEOM and end of story.
And you say you’re not pressed? Mariah has sold 65 million albums in the U.S. (confirmed by Billboard so its more than reliable) and is the biggest selling western artist in Japan with over 18 million album sales (confirmed), and she’s sold over 145 million albums (Soundscan) and over 200 million records. Mariah has topped Soundscan’s yearly count with Emancipation in 2005/6 and twice with 2 different albums with Daydream and Music Box in 2 different years. So no her sales are not by any mean inflated when Madonna never even topped one year from 1992-2012.
TEOM’s sales are definitely inflated since they put 12 million copies. Why do you need to bring total album sales when we were talking about Breakaway and TEOM? Mariah has more albums and most of them were released when albums used to sell well. Why can’t she sell nowadays 30 million copies? She’s a diva, she should be able to do it.
So now because YOUR primary source doesn’t satisfy you, you want to dismiss it? Get over it because if you’re using it for Kelly, I’m using it for Mariah. I cannot!! At you using mediatraffic, why don’t you try Billboard and Soundscan because they are actually reliable sources that COUNT the sales and report.
H**, Wikipedia is my source for certifications are you so dumb to get it? Yes you are. I’ve never said that Breakaway has sold 12 million copies, you mentioned it first. Anyway, hey didn’t need to fake Kelly’s numbers to look better like with your fav.
Again, you shouldn’t have used Wikipedia in the first place. And Wikipedia hasn’t said she’s sold 41 million albums and such, her label did. Again, I would like to see you disprove it, because you’re the one who cited Wiki as a source. You made your bed, now lay in it and stop complaining.
You’ve been using Wikipedia all time. You are the one who is faking. I remember that when people said that Mariah is done and she couldn’t sell albums you were bringing 12 million copies for TEOM. Try next time with accurate numbers.
Namely, this site and many other sites who compare others comeback albums to Emancipation. Vh1, BET, Rolling stones, and many more music sites and fans cite it and STILL talk about it as one of the greatest come-backs. No one talks about Breakaway.
This site? When, why, how? O.o Kelly won Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album with Breakaway and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance with Since U Been Gone. What are you talking about? Both albums were critically acclaimed.
What singles? Well, one holds records while the other doesn’t so NEXT.
Since U Been Gone, Behing These Hazel Eyes, Because Of You were huge hits worldwide, not just in the USA like Mariah’s singles. You tried again.
That’s your personal preference and thought, but no one says “will Christina Aguilera have her ‘Breakaway’ album and come back from flop?” No, they say will she have her “Emancipation of Mimi” and come back stronger. Lets also not talk about how TEOM is ranked as one of the best R&B albums of the 00s. NEXT
Best R&B according to? You right? We speak about your personal preference as well. What does Christina Aguilera have to do with this? O.o
Great for you, a lot of people know those songs, especially Hero, Without you, my all, etc because they are classics and still performed on singing shows and covered by many artists including KELLY CLARKSON. Same cannot be said about Kelly. Mariah is the most covered artists in singing shows like Idol, X-Factor, etc
Nope honey, Kelly’s songs are widely sung in many competitions. Here, no one sings Mariah songs, but Kelly’s yes. And this phrase Mariah is the most covered artists in singing shows like Idol, X-Factor, etc is fake. They sing more Rihanna’s songs than Mariah’s. The only song they do by Mariah is Hero and that’s it. From Kelly Because of You/Since U Been Gone/Stronger.
Its not my fault that you only know 5 Mariah songs and you tell me that this is better and such. It just disproves EVERYTHING you said above because you haven’t listened to her songs/albums to judge.
People did it and decided that Kelly’s albums is better and that’s why they decided to buy it more than TEOM.
Like how people bought “My December” actually it has more to do with her longevity.
It has outsold MOAIA in the USA and worldwide. Thanks for trying. 😉
Did you hear that gworls? It’s the sound of the Titanic h*** thinking about how they can come back to these facts. How does your ass get outsold by Gimmick Garbaj on your best album though? I mean come the f*** on.
Beyonce’s out here rehearsing for the superbowl and Rihanna stays flopping in America. Floppity McFloppulous.

@Lax, wash out your mouth cos no one was talking about mums. The only ugly, untalented ‘MAMMA’ here is YOURS for raising a foul mouthed b**** like you
@J YO MAMMA!!!
Who’s surprised? Rihanna is a singles pop star. Her albums are mostly a piece of drek which is why they don’t sell.
Aw she cant even conquer her domestic market. Shame. And her WW sales are nothing amazing either.
Her domestic market? She’s from Barbados honey. Her worldwide sales are amazing considering she has sold just 1.7 k in the USA. 4.3 come from other countries, over 3 million from Europe.
Honey, shes signed to an american lable which makes her an amercian domesticated recording artist we aint talking bout ancestry.
She is signed to an international label who’s headquarters are in America. That does not equal it being an American label.
Rihanna is signed to three labels the fellows who first discovered her, Def Jams and a label in the uk or some dam place,,,else other then the us,,,I can’t think right now,,,
Def Jam is an American label. It was started in NY, they now have other branches in other countries but Rihanna is signed to Def Jam America. So, yes, America is her domestic market even though she’s not American.
Rihanna is signed to Island DefJam GROUP and not DefJam America, there’s a difference.
Why do you think she went on a 777 tour around the world, with the president of DefJam if they cared so much about her US sales?? Wouldn’t the 777 tour been restricted to the USA??
@Dance again Island Defjam Group is an american lable babe. They may have branches in other countries but they are fundamentally a US lable. Google it.
The Island Def Jam Music Group[1][2][3][4] is an American record label formed in 1999 when Universal Music Group merged two of its daughter companies Island Records and Def Jam Recordings. In 2011, Motown Records was split from the Universal Motown Republic Group and subsequently merged into the The Island Def Jam Music Group.[5] Barry Weiss serves as Chairman & CEO of the company.[6]
YALL calling her a singles artist yet she has 5 platinum album’s!!!!
And lets be a little more current unapologetic is about 200k away from outselling Roman Reloaded so Sam don’t go there!!!
The most important thing is the money… is she not on a 360 deal?
Rihanna’s posts are always riddled with stats and numbers but many fail to realize she probably gets 30%-40% of sales revenue, including her tours, endorsement deals she is basically a machine making money so lets call her:
THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF MUSIC!
Rihanna ‘Loud”
This week Billboard reported that Rihanna yet again broke some musical records on the US charts. Her newest album Loud peaked at #3, one slot higher than last year’s Rated R. The album sold 207,000 copies its first week, which is the highest first week sales for the artist exceeding Rated R (181,000) and Good Girl Gone Bad (162,000). The album also becomes the artist’s first #1 Digital Album.
Rihanna’s ‘Loud”,,
What has proven to be the weirdest record for Rihanna? The first single off the album, the track titled “Only Girl (In The World)”, climbs and rings the bell at #1 this week after ten weeks of being released. This instance is the first time in the history of the Hot 100 chart that an album’s lead single reaches No. 1 after the second single has done so before it. “What’s My Name?” featuring Drake hit #1 two weeks ago.
Rihanna AMAs Medley
Also, “Only Girl” becomes Rihanna’s fourth #1 in 2010 breaking her current record for most #1 singles in a single year for the same female artist. The last time this was done was in 2004 when Usher had four number ones. She is now tied with Usher for most #1 singles this decade, with nine, despite her having the most #1 singles in the spawn of her career (2005-2010) for any artist on the Hot 100
Someone on a 360 deal buying a house at the Pacific Palisades??? No way, 360 deals leave you broke (ask Toni, TLC), Rihanna isn’t broke.
She contributed $1.7 million USD worth of hospital equipment, has a house at the Pacific Palisades and has prime land in Barbados. No way is she on a 360 deal, you tried though.
@MONSTAREBEL
Ok, bottle, sip, bottle, g*****, you a bad b**** no muzzle hey! 😀
@Dance Again (Beyonce’s Weave)
So just she bought a house at some exotic place and has one in Hollywood makes her wealthy? she donated cash it makes her wealthy? to us what people like Rihanna make is alot of money but Rihanna compared to people like Jay z, Beyonce, Dre Dre, P Diddy, Mariah Carey, Eminem, U2, Madonna etc she is making peanuts! do you know not even Chris Brown is on a 360 deal? hence he wants out of RCA(they want him on it), strangely Pink and Usher have some freedom…I heard rumours that IDJ particularly Roc nation wanted Chris…rumours.
She hasnt made real money yet…even Taylor swift is on real money just not at the level of the people mentioned above. Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Niki Minaj, Katy Perry, JB are on 360 deals and dont have much freedom, a female who’s really killing it is Adele…she doesnt need to tour but she wanted too, she made her own choice(the throat injury didnt help).
one of the signs an artist is on 360 or indications :
“If you want to find out the future of 360° deals, look at Motown in the late 60s. Motown was the pioneer of a 360° deal … They owned your likeness, your touring, publishing, record royalties, told you what to wear, told you how to walk … It made for great entertainment but if you look at every one of those artists, what happened? Sooner or later they said, ‘I’m not going to go on the road for 200 shows because you tell me so. I’m an artist! I’m a creative person!’ Eventually all these artists left … There’s two things we know about creativity: you can’t force it and you can’t really control it ” (Quote taken from Wiki)
CBE
360 deals leave an artist broke, Rihanna is not broke. She is the creative director of her albums as well as Executive Producer on her album (EP is equivalent to a Project Manager). She has way more input in her music than you claim.
Rihanna made more money than Bey and Jay last year (check Forbes), she couldn’t have done that if she was on a 360 deal.
@Dance Again (Beyonce’s Weave)
Again you keep saying Broke? I said or heard nothing about people being broke on 360 deals…its up to the artist and not all 360 deals are the same(Contracts are negotiated) or many mainstream artists would be broke and you said Rihanna made more money then Beyonce and Jay z right? ok now you know those stats are 2012 right…ok now lets look at artists activeness, you could clearly see by reading the articles Rihanna was A. releasing albums, B. Touring, C. She has endorsement deals…Was Jay Z, Beyonce touring?(yes they did before)but not the way they are making Rihanna work! Bey and Jay rely on Private shows and endorsment deals(atleast 2012) and other business ventures, Rihanna had the Loud Tour(Which is nearly100 dates) now nearly 2 years later she is going on another? THEY ARE WORKING HER LIKE A HORSE, look at people like Katy Perry, JB? like I said you have to notice the patterns,activeness + money earned… 360 deal doesnt mean you are broke but just at a disadvantage.
You’re just speculating, Rihanna enjoys working, she said this already and that is why she is going on another tour and has released so many albums.
Secondly Jay-Z works for Rihanna, RocNation is her management and just like J-Lo has fired her management aplenty of times, so can Rihanna.
As it stands now, you have not seen her contract so you’re simply speculating. Speculation =/= fact.
Jayz, Beyonce and Madonna are all in some of the
biggest 360 deals ever Jay is in a 150 Million and so is Madonna and Beyonce is now in a 50 Million one so!!!!
we already know loud is @ 7 million now worldwide thanks to france and germany for buying more copies of loud!! thanks german navy and french navy!!!
LOUD IS AT AROUND 5 MILL WORLD WIDE.
@SOB
Nope honey. Even if you use Meaditraffic numbers, it’s at 5.6 million just in 2010/2011. Nice try 😉
What makes mediatraffic so reputable? Wheres their official certificate?
@Knedall then i suppose soundscan , official charts and
global charts are all wrong, Right,,, Then if that be the case Bytch then where in the f** is that grape an=d yo black, broke ass getting the f**’n stats from CLUE US ALL IN,,,
Lol Rihllama is a weak b****.
Cant even outsell a newcomer that happens to rap while she’s making dancepop songs.
Nasty Bajan h** is such a disgrace to us Carribeans.
Nicki has outsold Beyonce too honey, don’t come for Rihanna because she has outsold Nicki and Beyonce combined when it comes to worldwide sales. 😉
Thats good for Nicki. I have no problem with her winning.
Secondly imma need you to retract that statement. Rihanna may have outsold 4 with TTT but she has yet to outsell Beys whole discography even though she has 3 more LP’s on her. What a shame.
🙁
I know you pressed hives like to combine dc sales with bey but you cant!! RIHANNA as a solo artist has outsold BEYFLOP as a solo artist!!
Nope honey, they have sold the same number of albums. Plus your fav’s first album with her group was a flop. She came from a girl group and was widely known when she released her 1st album while Rihanna wasn’t during Music Of The Sun era. But things changed from A Girl Like Me era, she became huge. Anyway, Umbrella has had bigger impact than all singles Beyonce has released. 😉
Don’t forget Rihanna also outsold B’Day with GGGB.
Umbrella has not had a bigger impact than all of Beys singles released. Official song of the decade Crazy in Love, and one of the most immitated videos of the past 10 years single ladies springs to mind!
And Bday and GGB both sold 7 mill
@Danny B
Nope honey, GGGB is at 7 million on Decade Album Chart, B Day nowhere to be seen, it’s definitely under 7 million copies. Plus GGGB sells really well in the UK since its release. But tbh Mediatraffic numbers are not that accurate, I believe GGGB is 8 + and B Day close to 7 million copies.
Whatever, I still think Umbrella has had bigget impact 😉 It has definitely more covers and it’s used more in media than Crazy In Love. But ok, I respect your opinion and I like CIL as well. 😀
Receipts?
You dont even know how much Bday sold so why are you even arguing lol.
I tried to post it but it doesn’t work. Go to mediatraffic.com and find decade album chart. 😉 They have Dangerously in Love at 8 million copies. 😀 GGGB is at 7.
No from a REPUTABLE source babe.
Neither is Wikipedia sweety. Some articles say that Loud has sold over 8 million copies worldwide. Do you believe it? I don’t. There is also musiccharts.net. Their sales seem more accurate since they take in cosideration sales from more music markets.Their sales just for 2011 were
4
Beyonce
[2 229 700]
For Loud in 2011
Loud
Rihanna
[3 806 800]
and in 2010
Loud
Rihanna
[2 314 300]
I think their charts are pretty accurate.
Hun, I dont look at Wiki fyi 😉 But Im waiting for you to prove me wrong with a reputable chart. And where is Bday in that list btw? But like I said, reputable, not some random album website with no official citations. That is not reputable.
Im clocking out now cos Ive got s*** to do lol! Have a nice evening 😀
@Danny B
Lol then I can say there are not reputable charts. 😀 All of them differ from each other. Anyway, I don’t hate Beyonce, she’s a good singer. My fav song from her is Crazy In Love, I adore the scene from White Chicks when they dance to that song (a culb scene, hope you remember).
Oki, sweet dreams honey, good night 😉
If Rihanna is a Weak Bytche then what would that make Beyonce’s ass I mean after all Golabal Charts will be Yo best friend if you let them and when it goes pass Global
World Charts there’s Soundscan, Billboard and the Official Charts Company and all of Your Bull Shyt Numbers can be Exposed look up the BIGGEST SELLERS,,, Where Gaga was the biggest seller of 2010 and then read the post that was posted on that grape The link is on this post & SEE THAT THIS site USES THE GLOBAL FOR THEIR CHART NUMBERS, DUMB ASSES!!
LMAO
We get the point, Rihanna is not an album seller, especially here in the United States. That still won’t make her go away, and it won’t make her less of ‘star’ world-wide.
HAHAHA rihanan is not an album seller yet she outsells your FAVSSS..so what does make your fave..CHILE go get yo life.
How can she outsell anyone when she doesn’t sell albums?
HAHAHAHAAAA IDIOT
@SOB I JUST SLAPPED MY DRINK TO THE FLOOR IN LAUGHTER YOU GOT ME ROTF,,,LMAO,,,,,,,SHE DNO’T SELL ALBUMS AND THE WHOLD THREAD IS TRYING TO PROVE HOW MANY SHE HAVE SOLD ROTF,,,LMAO,,,STILL
@SOS COSIGN YOU!!
TGJ repeatedly praised Nicki Minaj for Reloaded sales of 1.4mil since its released..well sales are sales right? Unapologetic is now #7 on billboard top 200 and #5 on Global chart and sold over 1.8 mil since its release!!! LOUD outsold Pink Friday and 4 combined!! Check yourself!!
But with all the hits Loud had, it should’ve sold 10 mill and it didn’t. 4 sold 1.2 mill in America alone in a year and Loud did in 2 years. PF is did really well and it had less hits than Loud.
Regardless what…at the end of the day, sales are sales. Case closed.
YEs CASE CLOSED. #FLOP
BUT LOOK AT WHAT “UNA” HAS SOLD IN LESS THEN TWO MONTHS,,,,THOUGH…
Rihfund needs to sit her wannabe Gaga/Bey/Lana ass down. You will never touch my faves you nasty smut.
Took you 7 tries to get a #1 album. Lol.
😀
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Rihfund!!! LMAO!!
Yes gurl. Her name is Rihfund.
Rhifund is outselling your fave beyonce!!!
How is rihanna trying to be like gaga or LANA. They’re very different. And we can all agree that rihanna and beyonce have two VERY different music styles.
Funny how REFUND GOT YALLS HATING ASSES SWEARING NAILS, THOUGH. THAT GRAPE KNOW WHAT TO DO TO KEEP THE BLOOD FLOWING.
FLop this way tanked.
Lana cant sing live
4 flopped straight to hell
shall i continue??????
No you shouldn’t, because your opinions are not backed up or explained so you just sound stupid..
Sam why not post about something current like how unapologetic re entered the billboard 200s top 10 in the U.S…..
That fact that unapologetic is 200k away from outselling Roman Reloaded is the real kiiii
Oh & BTW Sam your ugly ass fav brandy has dropped out the billboard 200 already & Xxxltinas lotus is currently being outsold Katy Perry’s teenage dream an album that came out 3 years ago! kiiii !
And lets also talk about louds sales in the UK.
Just recently it surpass gggb’s 1.8mil sold and is only 10,000+ away from reaching 2mil. Check Atrl!!!
DEAD @ TD still slaying
Why am I here? Oh thats right! Im bored as f***! and nothing makes a day better then a Rihanna aka Frankenstein post!
@CBE YO MAMMAS SIAMESE TWIN SISTA!!
@GRAPE AND SINCE YOU ARE SO GOOD AT BEING
BIAS AND FAIR WHY NOT SHOW WHERE “TALK”
SOLD 1.6 WORD WIDE FOR 2012 AND “UNA” SOLD 1.6
BOTH ALBUMS HAS MOVED 1.6 MILLION EACH IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE FAIR WHICH WE ALL IN THE NAVY KNOW THAT THE GRAPE CAN’T STAND THE FACTS AND TRUTHS EITHER BECAUSE IF YOU COULD THEN WHEN RIHANNA WAS NAMED THE QUEEN OF BILLBOARD FOR THE LAST TWENTY YEARS YO ASSES WOULD HAVE POSTED THAT, BUT THAT IS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE ISN’T IT FOR RIHANNA…,.,.,I HAVE SAIT IT BEFORE AND I WILL SAY IT AGAIN,,,
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF CUTTING OFF YO NOSE TO TRY AND SPITE YO FACE??????
@LAX
Shut your b**** made mouth up! I heard Perez Hilton is auditioning f****** for his war with Azealia Banks, I heard you have to be a good at taking it in the ass and squeal like Frank Ocean.
CBE,,,MAke me, son, make me !!
YOU WILL NEVA GET TO SUCK CHRIS BROWNS D*** WHY? BECAUSE RIHANNA CUMS ON IT EVERY NITE!! NOW GTFOH YOU WEAK B****!!!
aaawww am I supposed to be hurt now? Chris probably is afraid to even f*** her…he knows if he rejects her R**** is gonna tell her illuminati Jew masters to cook up a scheme to put Chris in Jail and his probation coming to an end next year raises my suspicions.
I wouldnt blame Chris from putting 3 condoms and a trash bag to avoid h***** infection, heard that barbados v**** makes people thin…hence Rihanna’s ass is like an ironing board, now go choke on c*** b****!
Awww r u mad that CHRIS BROWN RAW DOGS RIHANNA EVERY NITE?
Aww stfu and go purchase fortune
Bought Fortune already and the album is 10x better then unapologetic and TTT combined…of course sheep like you will bring up sales, well in the quality department Chris wins!
Songwriting= Chris wins
Creativity= Chris wins
Taking in over 50% in a record deal & Not being on 360 deal = Chris wins
So Rihanna can sell and tour all she likes but she only gets about an estimated 35 percent of Touring,sales income…IDJ pimps the s*** out of her, endorsement deals help her somewhat…I will admit she still makes more money then CB but not by much.
REALLY THEN WHY IS RIHANNA WOTH MORE THAN YOUR FLOP FAVE THOUGH? WHERE IS CHRIS BROWN ON THE FORBES CHART THEN? CHRIS BROWN ENTERTAINMENT WILL FOLD JUST LIKE THE ARTISTS ON THAT FLOP LABEL!! AINT NOBODYBUYING WHAT CHRIS BROWN IS SELLING!! RIHANNA NETWORTH IS WAYYYYY MORE THAN YOUR FLOP FAVE!!!
@CBE Read real slow,,,,,Bytch as long as the world
stands and I and Countless Others know that this is what
BEYONCE’S ASS sleeps with ….AT NIGHT,,
http://www.judiciaryreport.com/images/jay-z-2-22-11.jpg
We do not give a F** how many names RIH is called because We know that Rih isn’t the only Beauty, who’s
Rich, Famous and Making Waves all around the Globe,,,,
LOUD outsold Fistopher` last 2 albums combined x 2
LMFAOOO the haters are full effect this bright beautiful early sunday morning..sips tea and shine bright like a diamond.
Sigh. Sam, at least it has gone platinum, something rare for albums these days.
Yup, that’s true. Kelly Clarkson’s Stronger has gone platinum too. Hope Alicia will do the same 😉
But Rihanna outsold both Beyonce and Nicky world wide and THAT’S WHAT COUNTS.
Amen!
@CBE BEYONCE GOT MORE MONEY THEN FORT KNOTS AND ALL OF US AND NONE OF US IS LOOSING ANY SLEEP OVER IT SON WE ARE HAPPU FOR HER AND HER MONEY BECAUSE SOME DAY SHE AND HER MONEY WILL SAY GOONBY TO EACH OTHERS JUST LIKE ALL OF US MONTH TO MONTH FOLKS. AND DIDN’T SOME ONE EVER TELL YOU THAT THE HAPPIEST FOLKS ARE THOSE OF US WHO ARE FROM PAY DAY TO PAY DAY, SON!!! DUUUUUUH!!
No one is loosing sleep over beyonce or anybody else money for that , and others money isn’t buying a single roll of toliet paper for my rolls, Son!!
Beyonce has more money then Rihanna…Im not even a beyonce fan but the Navy is stupid as f***! where are your priorities? sales I guess? but whats the point when miss Beyonce “CBE” Knowles is getting paper without dragging her ass half way across the world for 100 tour dates in less then a year…talk about being a s****!
She has a head start and was in the game way longer. And since when do sales not matter in the music industry? As for being a s**** every one works for their boss and that includes Beyonce.
Um Rihanna has 7 albums, Beyonce has 4. Rihanna has only outsold Beyonces lowest selling album, she has yet to produce an album that will outsell the rest of Beys discography.
Yes but Beyonce started 16 years ago. The only album Rihanna hasn’t outsold is DIL the others she did.
@MissImpartial
Oh s***! are you a gooner or you just decided to use that as an avatar? didnt notice…
@CBE THE GOOD LORD GIVETH AND THE GOOD LORD CAN TAKE IT AWAY, SON!!
DILL IS THE ONLY THAT HAS OUTSOLD ANY RIHANNA ALBUM AND NOT BY MUCH EITHER
No I like Arsenal supported them since 2001.
@CBE
I mean Yes.
So what if Beyonce started 16 years ago, not all her albums came out 16 years ago!! And where are those receips for those numbers?
@LAX
are you drunk or something? u replying to the wrong people…Frank ocean’s d*** is drilled so deep you cant even figure out were you are.
Yes Beyonce has more Money then Rih and Beyonce is the only Artist in the Industry who have got her own Camel, and a Baby Camel,,,

@MONSTAREBEL Thanks Ofc,,,
The FIRST TIME SINCE AGES that you haven’t mentioned Rita Ora on a Rihanna posts. But it seems that you are now promoting Beyonce and Nicky on Rihanna posts. You know where the spotlight is Sam don’t you.
@MISSIMPARTICAL My thoughts exactly, and to me i don’t give a F** who Out sells Rihanna in the Us My thing is with all of the hate for Rihanna why does it even matter I mean after all RIHANNA is supposed to be this NOBODY ARTIST that don’t know how to pour P*** out of a Boot.
http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/the-top-20-biggest-selling-albums-of-2011-revealed/
Like I keep saying. It’s not all about the sales. loud might’ve been a LOUD and messy album in my opinion, but the impact it had on pop culture was HUGE. How many girls had red hair that year? Who didn’t hear What’s My Name?? &M caused controversy and attracted a Britney Spears collaboration. Plus how many number ones and rihanna favourites came from that album? Man Down was EXTREMELY popular amongst my age group in East London, that didn’t sell well or chart high but EVERYONE was singing it. What should an artist really care about, sales or impact. I’d much rather be happier having fans know and like my songs than my album selling more than Pink Friday (Although a HOT album at the time, now it’s very forgettable and dated). I still dislike LOUD though. It’s just loud and in your face with its annoying ness, but it had few good tracks.
Billboard…2011
http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/industry/retail/top-selling-albums-of-2011-so-far-1005267092.story
Red hair lolololol! People were rocking that way before Rihanna honey.
And another thing @GRAPE if RIHANNA is this great NOBODY THEN WHY DON’T YOU CEASE AND STOP
POSTING ON RIHANNA ALL TOGETHER AND MAKE THE BEY HIVE AND THE RIHANNA HATERS ALL HAPPY? BECCAUSE THIS PASS
WEEK RIH #5 WITH 245,000 ALBUMS “UNA”
BURNO #4 297,000
ALICIA #15 122,000
AND OVER ON THE SINGLES SIDE
Burno #1 585,000
Rih #2 532,000
Gang #3 516,000
Alicia-Nicki #9 316,000
Sooooo why isn’t this News and who has out sold Rihanna with a album “Loud’ that made Rihanna land in the #7 Spot of the best Tours of 2011 with a 90 Million Haul!
MEANWHILE UNAPOLOGETIC IS ABOUT TO SLAY 4 AND RR!! UNAPOLGETIC IS @ THE 2 MILLION MARK WORLDWIDE!! AND UNAPOLOGETIC JUST REENTERED THE BILLBOARDS TOP 10 @ NUMBER 7!! KIIII OAN LOUD IS STILL ON THE GLOBAL CHARTS!! AND SO IS TTT!!
Tthats why they are pissed and i sure do hope it don’t
happen that PEPSI wanted RIHANNA and Jay fell to his knees for them to please pick Beyonce,,,,,,,lol.
Reading your comments hurt my head. I can just picture you being a fat ugly ratchet h**
NOPE AND NEVER WILL BE B****!!! BUT YOU CAN LICK MY CHERRY PIE H**!!!
November 2010….isn’t that 2 years? She would’ve sold more if she extended its run instead of dropping “Talk That Talk”.
This wasn’t necessary tbh. Just stirs up more drama and argument between stans. NO POINT WHAT SO EVER.
U kno, im sick of these ignorant ass post! Who cares that ‘Pink Friday’ sold more than ‘Loud’? I mean come on……Lets talk about how ‘4’ was an ABSOLUTE FLOP, how about that? U kno who to target and we can tell…..SMH
Of course 4 flopped… *note my sarcasm*
Wheres Unapologetic on itunes now?
Its @ 7 on the billboard charts!! 🙂
Yes, who cares about iTunes? lmao.
Do you think that Itunes is the only thing that matters when it comes to album sales? Nope baby. It was out of top 50 last week but ended at #7 on Billboard top 200. Anyway, it has two versions charting in the Itunes top 100. Let’s wait and see how your fav’s new album will do sweety 😉
Tamar was #1 on iTunes, but didn’t even hit the top 50 of billboard. Oop.
It’s at 55 and at 95 so it’s certainly in top 50 with two versions combined. Anyway, Alicia Keys – Girl On Fire is at 42 and was charting higher on Itunes last week than Rihanna, but Rihanna was at 7 and Alicia at 18 on Billboard charts.
DEATH @ nobody actually answering the question.
Death@ 4 flopping!!
4 was not flop. I feel sorry for people that think it was. Nelly Furtado selling 6000 in the first week is a flop, 4 selling 2 million with no hit singles, still collecting them awards is not a flop.
@ Danny B, I know lol. People here just love to go off topic.
Um congrats nicki
Hey Sam. How about you write a post about how many more No. 1’s Rihanna has than Nicki
*Cricket, Cricket*
That’s what I thought. You only dawg RiRi, cause she stay paying the bills for this site
S*** haterz dragging on this post!!! But I think that’s a good achievement for Nicki she is doing it big where haterz like it or not plus how many females rapper selling like her?? NONE Nick is selling big in the Biggest Music Market and that counts she is paving the way for female rapper and yall b****** shall deal. I dont even stan for Nicki but give credit where its due, and SAM is kinda right about Rihanna I mean she had 3 huge #1’s hits off the LOUD album plus she was EVERYWHERE when that album came out so yes both her Us and WW sales should be better !!! JUST SAYING
But LOUD is about to sell 2 million copies in the UK if it hasn’t already. Plus you’re not telling us something we don’t already know Samantha, we know Rihanna doesn’t do mega figures in the US but smashes Worldwide.
As it stands right now, Rihanna has 3 albums which are charting on all the charts all over the world (Una, TTT, LOUD), by next year, LOUD would have outsold I am…Sasha Fierce Worldwide.
Anyway congrats to Nicki Minaj.
Nicki is a good seller in the Uk and Brazil as well but the King beats them both in Brazil !!! But congrats
Yup, that’s true, Beyonce sells albums very well there. Congratulations to her though. 😉
But in Europe Rihanna and Lady GaGa are the biggest selling female acts.
Rihanna has 4 platinum albums in brazil!!
Likikkikika: whatever the f*** ur name is, in what world has nicki outsold beyonce? She can’t even outsell Rihanna. Haha! Nice try! Clearly ur math is legit when it comes to defending Rihanna against nicki but biased when it comes to beyonce who has been proven a consistent album seller since her first solo album! Nicki experienced a sophomore slump…..Which now reminds me Rihanna’s first album went gold And she almost fell off by her second album if it weren’t for the hair changing tactics I guess she’d be in beyonce’s shadow. But good for her team. Several heads are better than one (Rihanna)
B**** I’ve never said Nicki has outsold Beyonce, she will never do it even if she pushes 153415646 albums. I prefer Beyonce to Dicki Minaj. Stop using drugs and read comments properly sweety 😉
But anyway, Pink Friday has outsold Beyonce’s 4 in the USA like Loud so no space to be angry 😛 That was my point. Anyway, Rih/Bee slays that plastic h** worldwide.
Elijah Blake – Everything is the best song from his remix 🙂
i mean Mixtape
Pink Friday, though?
Really SMH-antha??? 🙄
You guys do realize that Loud has sold over 6 million copies worldwide
Yes we do sweety 😉
Samantha, when will you post something about Emeli Sande? The girl slays and she’s an amazing singer. Instead of writing about Rita Ora (no one is checking for her), we want to read about Emeli! The best song eva, enjoy it b****** 😉
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z21if2RT06U
You should buy he album “Our version of events”, it is simply HEAVEN. A work of art, every single song is so good.
And she is a beast at songwrting as well!! i love emeli!!!
i agree – Emeli’s album was the best-selling album of 2012 in the UK – beating all contemporaries including Adele.
Kingbeybitches: nicki’s first album went gold in the UK her second album sold 600k. Beyonce always sells platinum in the UK. If anything, nicki sells better in the US. Don’t know where ur getting ur info from. Nicki is local and wishes to have the impact in Europe like beyonce. Maybe she’ll do that one day though. For now let’s compare her to rappers and not singers cuz she will never be at beyonce’s level.
Likikia: good for nicki. That’s the only time she will EVER outsell beyonce because she was a newcomer. And next time be specific in what u r saying or I will come for u 😉
STFU!! ROTTEN P****!!
lol i cant with the unnecessary bogus shade, LOUD sold six mill plus WW 4′ sold 3 pink friday sold 3 so wdf ya’ll trying to tell me what you’ll trying to prove, wow these f***** sites lol RIHANNANAVY TILL I DIE THOUGH! AND SHE WILL STILL BE WINING
If Niki MInaj can do what Loud did WW I would give her some credit.
Me too because “Loud’ bagged a Grammy,
make music history and did all kinds of
tricks on the charts and that is why this post and all the hate!!
Is this f****** news? TGJ will stoop to anything to get their pockets fulled off Beyonce & Rihanna. You dumb motherfuckter fall this this s*** each and every time. First TGJ was making money off you dumb b****** commenting off on Chris Brown. Now it’s all about making money off Rihanna & Beyonce. WAKE THE F*** UP STANS & FANS.
For @MC too. Decade Album chart
31 Kelly Clarkson – Breakaway
RCA – 2004 – 11 million copies
60 Mariah Carey – The Emancipation Of Mimi
Island – 2005 – 9 million copies
Try next time with 12 million copies honey 😉
As a member of THE most respectful fanbase, I won’t say anything.
Really the HOOD HIVE IS RESPECTABLE LOL!!!
😆 Again, Mariah’s album ACCORDING to your primary source is over 12 million world wide and now you wanna change sources? Next time try comparing Mariah’s most successful to Kelly’s or their peaks instead of unbalanced weigh to ONE of them, k? 😉
Like I said, being pressed is never a good look speically since 6 million of those sales are from the U.S. (according to your source).
Next time provide a reliable source. 😉
@mc
I’ve never used Wikipedia for Mariah’s and Kelly’s overall sales, just for certifications. At least they didn’t need to lie about Kelly’s real sales like on Mariah’s page because it’s obvious that Kelly sold more and her album wasn’t local like your fav’s, 5-6 million from other countries outside of the USA.
We are comparing the album sales from 2000s, 2004 and 1990 are not the same. Other female artists had huge sales from that period, Madonna, Celine, Whitney, Britney etc. It’s obvious that your fav cannot sell like she used to do in the past because you know that music market is dead (Adele is an exception) and people lost interest in her.
Anyway, you’ve been fooling us all time with 12 million copies sold of TEOM when someone mentioned Mariah career decline. Yes, you were saying 12 million, I remember very well. So, now I am the one who is delusional while you were using Wikipedia to make Mariah’s sales look better? Thanks for trying honey, but not gonna happen. 😉 People lie, but numbers don’t. Better luck next time! 😀
“I’ve never used Wikipedia for Mariah’s and Kelly’s overall sales, just for certifications.”
You used Wikipedia, stop backpedaling and accept it. You shouldn’t have used it in the first place.
“At least they didn’t need to lie about Kelly’s real sales like on Mariah’s page because it’s obvious that Kelly sold more and her album wasn’t local like your fav’s, 5-6 million from other countries outside of the USA.”
Did you just call Mariah “local” 😆 😆 A local that sold 145 million albums? #poordat I struck a nerve? Poor baby girl 😥 😆 DEAL.
“We are comparing the album sales from 2000s, 2004 and 1990 are not the same.” You are right, but that was Kelly’s peak so you cannot compare someone who’s in the biz 2 years to some one in their 15 years. Invalid again.
“Other female artists had huge sales from that period, Madonna, Celine, Whitney, Britney etc.” Well only Whitney has an album selling more than Music Box. The rest haven’t sold album near 32+ million.
” It’s obvious that your fav cannot sell like she used to do in the past because you know that music market is dead (Adele is an exception) and people lost interest in her.”
Evidently people seem to not have interest with Kelly either seeing that she cannot scan 3+ million with a #1 song and such from her album “Stronger”. Unfortunately, she doesn’t have the acclaim, records sold, and longevity like Mariah to hide behind. The public isn’t any more disinterested with Mariah than they are with Madonna, Celine, or any of the other legends.
“Anyway, you’ve been fooling us all time with 12 million copies sold of TEOM when someone mentioned Mariah career decline. Yes, you were saying 12 million, I remember very well. So, now I am the one who is delusional while you were using Wikipedia to make Mariah’s sales look better?”
I don’t have to make Mariah look like anything, she simply is you just cannot accept it and its nothing to do with me. I didn’t use Wikipedia, you did, so its the problem you have with yourself not me. Unlike your fave Mariah is accomplished and more than your fave would ever dream to be so deal with it. LIKE I SAID EARLIER, its her 5/6th most successful album and you need to deal with it.
” Thanks for trying honey, but not gonna happen. 😉 People lie, but numbers don’t. Better luck next time! :D”
Numbers sure don’t like like you do. I mean you told me that “Hurt” by Christina Aguilera was better than anything Mariah has done yet you only know 5 Mariah Carey songs. 😆 NEXT.
@MC
You used Wikipedia, stop backpedaling and accept it. You shouldn’t have used it in the first place.
Firstly, stop trying to happen fake 12 million copies. 😉
Did you just call Mariah “local” A local that sold 145 million albums? #poordat I struck a nerve? Poor baby girl DEAL.
Yup, because she’s local. Honey, lets not. Madonna has sold more albums than her and most of her sales come oustide of the USA. So yes, she is local. and out of 9 million copies TEOM has sold 6 come from the USA.
Evidently people seem to not have interest with Kelly either seeing that she cannot scan 3+ million with a #1 song and such from her album “Stronger”. Unfortunately, she doesn’t have the acclaim, records sold, and longevity like Mariah to hide behind. The public isn’t any more disinterested with Mariah than they are with Madonna, Celine, or any of the other legends.
Kelly’s album went platinum, lets see how Mariah’s new album will do. Judging by ‘success’ of Triumphant I can easily predict it. Kelly doesn’t have acclaim? They always call her to do tributes to divas, critics appreaciate her voice. Btw, you are comparing someone who’s been 9 years in the game and someone who’s been 23 years. Do you really think that Mariah would see those numbers if she released her album in 2000s?
I don’t have to make Mariah look like anything, she simply is you just cannot accept it and its nothing to do with me. I didn’t use Wikipedia, you did, so its the problem you have with yourself not me. Unlike your fave Mariah is accomplished and more than your fave would ever dream to be so deal with it. LIKE I SAID EARLIER, its her 5/6th most successful album and you need to deal with it.
H**, you’ve been caught lying 😉

Mariah’s last three albums flopped? Really?
The Emancipation of Mimi: sold 5 million in the U.S. and 12+ million in the world with 2 #1 singles on the Hot 100 and 1 #2 single (making history), and had the biggest radio played song of all time. She also won 3 Grammys and countless other awards. >> LOL I can’t
So clearly you are using Wikipedia numbers, so I prove you wrong this time honey 😉
Numbers sure don’t like like you do. I mean you told me that “Hurt” by Christina Aguilera was better than anything Mariah has done yet you only know 5 Mariah Carey songs. NEXT.
Obviously they don’t neither do I. Yes, Hurt >>>every Mariah’s song. The thing is I am not interested to hear her music because it’s not my cup of tea. Come with better excuses, it’s not working, sorry. 😉
Who cares about sales…Madonna outsold Whitney Houston. Does that mean she has more talent? No….Y is Ritard navy always the first with that lame excuse?
Sam you ole messy queen. As much as you stay swinging on Rihanna’s c***, I would think you would’ve turned straight by now…….
Wow WTF are Methuselah stans doing in here? RiRi has sold 39 million albums worldwide according to Island Def Jam, about 18 million more than their flop fave in half the time.
LOL b**** don’t you even try.
http://s12.postimage.org/knnrmij99/image.jpg
LOL what?
Anyway, if you want the true numbers, this’s what ladies have sold:
Rihanna:
Music of the Sun – 1.5 million
A Girl Like Me – 3.5 million
Good Girl Gone Bad – 8 million
Rated R – 3 million
Loud – 6 million
Talk That Talk – 3.3 million
Unapologetic – 2 million +
BEYONCE:
Dangerously in Love – 11 million
B’day – 6.2 million
I Am… Sasha Fierce – 7.2 million
4 – 2.8 million
Rihanna has only sold 100K more than BEYONCE, and I think you do know why…
http://s12.postimage.org/knnrmij99/image.jpg
Did Methuselah sell 100 million on her own, tho?
Lol @ iam sasha your reaching and loud just sold 7 million and ttt just sold 4 million and gggb sold 9 million

Mmmmkay.
Hhe never said that
If you can’t Google then don’t argue.
He said he wanted the every song to be a hit dumbass like thriller. Thats more than what we can say for ever Bey album 🙁
Methuselah stans? U mean the ones with a talented fave with longevity? Like the Rih Stans didn’t just STORM bey’s post last night writing insipid comments til their eyes were red and their fingers aching? Good one….
Oh, They Tried It!!
ohh wow. the shade again. and us sales. it’s getting boring. whatever…
moving on.
@BEY FAKE…BEY A FLOP…BEY A LIAR…BEY A PLAGERIST…BEY A HOOD HIVE!!!
An Bey albums are platinum/ Diamond in Brazil so whats you’re point? Bey, Rih and Nicki sell good in Brazil but Bey sells better learn to read
STOP LYING!!! BEYONCE MIGHT HAVE BRAZIL AND USA BUT RIHANNA HAS ALL OF ERUOPE AND CANADA AND SOUTH AFRICA!! AND RIHANNA DOES SELL IN BRAZIL AS WELL!! TE AMO WAS A NUMBER 1 HIT FOR WEEKS IN BRAZIL AND MAN DOWN WAS A BLOCKBUSTER HIT IN BRAZIL
If BEYONCE WAS KING SHE WOULD DO ADELE NUMBERS EVERY ALBUM JUST LIKE WHITNEY AND MARIAH AND CELINE SHANIA AND ALL THE OTHER GREATS
BYONCE WILLNNEVER BE A KING OR LEGEND SHE IS OVERRATED AND ONLY HER HOOD STANS ONLY THINK SHE IS GREAT
F*** a king bey
@Bey fake If Beyonce wont be a legend because she is ‘overrated’ Rihanna has not got a hope in a hell. I wouldnt bank on words from a duluded Navy anyway
*deluded
she is KING, U will Deal!
YES BEYONCE IS KING…..of the hood queens of america!!!
RIHANNA IS KILLING NICKI MINAJ…. BE SURE TO CHECK OUT RAMONA RIZZO ON MOB WIVES TONIGHT ON VH1 8 SHARP.
What is the person’s obsession with Rihanna.I am a huge fan but not delusional.Wow this is not news we all know Rihanna does just around platnium with the exception of Good Girl Gone Bad.Rihanna is a platnium selling artist.She is consistent.
The only time there shall be need for worry is if one of her albums don’t go platnium.We know Rihanna starts of so so and builds sales over a period of about a year until she reaches platnium status.Truth be told she is bigger overseas than she is in the US
MOST OF RIHANNAS FANS ARE FROM EUROPE AND CANADA!! WE LOVE RIHANNA PERIOD!!!
How is she consistent when her first album went gold and she reached number 1 after 7 years?? Say what you will but she needed tactics to help her sell and that’s why she had staying power.
something ain’t right and FISHY , and i don’t even talk about rihanna or LOUD ………
LOUD has sold 2x as many copies as Pink Flopday world wide, where it really matters
Loud & Teenage Dream are 2 of the best albums of the last 5 years
I just don’t get how u can put Rihanna in the same boat as Nicki one is R&B/Pop and the other Rap/HipHop ? No shade just cuz Rihanna came off the Barbados boat does not mean Nicki was on there I’m just saying
WOW Rihanna is so Epic.
LMAO looks like the HIVS are pressed even more pressed than Niki Minaj stans. So I will direct my attention towards a flop H** member. Just like a H** to bring up beyawnce’s sells in 2004-2010. We all know 4lop was the worse of her career so out of desperation they bring up DIL LMAO. TTT and UN which is Rihanna’s current material will outsell 4lop and that’s why they are pressed. UN reached 1.8 in 6 weeks, almost 2 million hos. And Rihanna didn’t need to release a second single. Her album is selling off of Diamonds alone. And don’t give me no “she doesn’t sell in the US” crap. I can name some people who don’t sell in the US. Selling only 300k or 600k here or there is not selling. Rihanna is a very bad example of somebody who doesn’t sell in the US. So many dream of passing the 1 mill mark and selling globally like Rihanna does.
worst of her career bringing in 310k what most r&b artists wish to sell first week nowadays. No shade. And b**** if you were directing your comment towards me better think again I’m not the one wishing rihanna’s career is over in my name title I’m just here to let the lessors know that everyone has their time and beyonce’s time is FAR from being over. Sales don’t equal talent. They just equal luck. Beyonce remains respected in the music industry. Something Rihanna will probably never. If anyone is pressed it’s you. *read your screen name and sips T*
I cant believe they came for LOUDsus tho 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁
BEY & Tina Turner Midnight Special : http://youtu.be/A4GDHxjR34Y via @youtube
@BEY FAKE…BEY A FLOP…BEY A LIAR…BEY A PLAGERIST…BEY A HOOD HIVE!!!
B**** I am is the 3rd best selling album in Brazil of all time, its 2xdiamond in Brazil and not to mention that it was the first INTERNATIONAL album to ever be #1 for 27 weeks in Brazil!!1 So b**** get the f*** out of here with that s*** you better ask somebody!!1
@LMAO @ KING BEY!! Wll there’s no deny Rihanna is the Queen of the s**** called the Navi
Notice they can’t reply to my comments with their lame asses (Navies) they can only thumbs me down in frustration that I’m right most of the time. Oh well. I don’t really expect intelligent comments from such a breed of delusionals. OH and everyone knows Beyonce has sold 88 million records WW including the US with only 4 albums so she isn’t too far from 100, idiots while it took 7 for Rihanna. Oh and guess who has the most networth?? Right, so please sit. Beyonce remains unbothered…
Honey lets be honest. Rihanna has sold more singles than Beyonce worldwide, and that’s the fact. When it comes to albums, they sold the same amount of albums (as a solo artist). Why can’t we support both of them? There is enough room for both, so we need to support them 🙂 Anyway, I adore this performance. 😀

Because her stans refuse to stay humble about her accomplishments and forget Beyonce paved way for Rihanna and a lot of artists in the industry. Most of them are pretty uneducated about music in general bashing legends like Celine Dion. All the sudden U and the other Navy brats think Rihanna is a powerful act just because of her sales. Her talent is minimal just like Britney and Katy Perry who are also high single sellers. People seem to forget that making a solid album and having it be an unforgettable classic and getting it to sell to the masses is a lot harder than just putting out generic trendy music and if it weren’t for her digital singles she would not be 100 WW. Most of beyonce’s accomplishments come from her collective work of material which are albums. People are quick to remember a good album than just a song anyways. And while I do like some of Rihanna’s songs, objectively, her albums alone don’t carry much weight. The only ones allowed to shade Beyonce are MC, Whitney, and MJ fans ans some Celine fans. Rihanna, Katy, Nicki, and Britney stans should not talk when they depend on tactics and studio synthesizers to enhance their talents. Not the other way around. Just keeping it real. Rihanna is okay. But she’s not the best. Her stans don’t like to admit that. Without her sales, she’s be just another overlooked amateur.
I agree that Beyonce is one of the best singers of our generations (Kelly Clarkson and Christina Aguilera are too). I’ve never said that Rihanna is better singer than her and I will never do it because it’s a lie. But anyway, Rihanna is better than Katy Perry and Britney Spears when it comes to singing. She’s not amazing, she’s average, but still better than them. When was the last time BS sang live? Katy has never had a decent performance. But to be honest, Beyonce’s music is not that great, I mean its quality, it’s not nothing memorable like her stans claim it. She needs better music to be considered a legend. Do you really think that her songs are comparable to Whitney’s? Nope honey, let’s not pretend. Her music is on the same level as Rihanna’s. But both of them have had a huge impact on pop culture so far. So I repeat, we should support both of them because they love each other. 😉
Beyonces individual album sales are better than Rihannas. Thats why Rihannsa known as a singles artist, Beyonces known as an albums artist. Rihannas sold more collectivly because she has 7 albums, Beyonce has 4.
And you talking about Beyonces music not being that great is just your opinion.
Many people think Beyonces music is better than Rihannas, others think vice versa, other like you think they are on the same level. But the fact remains, its all down to personal taste. Your opinion is not a fact.
Likica: her albums are memorable and go to number 1. That’s what counts tho and her songs are memorable too tbh.
I am not talking about sales, I am talking about quality this time. Rihanna’s albums go to #1 as well, even in more countries worldwide than Beyonce’s. I was talking about her songs, they are not better than Rihanna’s at all, they are pretty the same.
Likica: her ALBUMS must be memorable if they go to number 1 plus platinum every year unlike rihanna’s first album. and Rihanna can never acheive a classic like DIL. At least I’d like to see her try. And sorry I don’t support Rihanna like that. She’s just crappy live. So if u support her good for u. Some of us happen to see past smoke and mirrors tho.
Why is Dangerously in Love classic and Good Girl Gone Bad is not? Sorry honey, Umbrella has had bigger impact than all songs from DIL combined. Plus Don’t Stop The Music, Take a Bow and Disturbia, she achieved 3 #1s from that album even without going to #1 on Billboard 200. Anyway, 4 went to 1 and you think that people still remember it because of its chart position? Nope. Neither will Unapologetic be remembered because of that. Sorry honey, but Beyonce’s albums are not than better than Rihanna’s, rated R has bigger score on Metacritic than all Beyonce’s albums. 😉
Because DIL had Crazy in Love (song of the Decade named by VH1 and NME) and sold more than all the albums on Rihannas discography. So technically if we are comparing albums not just the singles, it is more classic.
We’re not just talking about #1 singles the album gained, we are talking about comparing album sales. DIL sold way more. And it has 5 grammys.
😉
Well I think we sales speak louder than a single territory. Its plenty artist who can’t sell outside the us, isn’t that the purpose to be international? And to this person comparing mariah and Kelly please stop it.Adele just proved an album can still go diamond all these years after mariah’s second diamond album! I mean for what emancipation sold so late in her career and a comeback album a newcomer outselling is pointless. Isn’t that wat the beyhive argue the navy with.? The discography and sales over the span of a career not a lucky album. Oh and Kelly doesn’t have an outstanding career to try n pit against mariah no consistancy. Pit her against her peers, like other idols.
SO the F$%K what?!?!? What kind of news is that? Perez Hilton.com gets more hits in week than that Grape Juice does in 3 months! But is anybody reporting that. Yall reaching… this website has really gone downhill over the past three years. Find something worth reporting.
This blog is b******* notice they only include US sales. Worldwide Loud outsold lik kim 4th album Pink Friday – oops sorry I get confused between her and Nicki Minaj – it’s like single black female! This is just another biased article bit like the ones they write about Kim to throw shade on an artist they don’t like. Let’s be fair in the past maybe Rihanna’s live performances haven’t been the best but her singles slay and recently her vocal performances have been on point. She is as big as Beyonce know and that is down to her hard work and nobody can HATE on that. At least she is original and hasn’t had to copy anyone’s image,throw subliminals and then pretend like she’s being picked on. That’s my problem with minaj she obviously had a problem with Kim, if you are that gangster that you are threatening to shoot Mariah then why not just come out and say yeah I said it about you so what? Because the same way she didn’t do the casket skit at Summer Jam Kim would have offed her top! AND AGAIN SHE MANIPULATED THE STORY TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE IT WAS BECAUSE OF WHAT ROSENBERG SAID… There were goons waiting to storm that stage – Kim is loved, she isn’t! She is a fake, a fraud and a phony and please don’t ever mention in her in the same breath as Rihanna again, because at this stage in their careers at least Rihanna has
credibility.
FLOP
