After axing a number of tour dates amidst rumours of poor ticket sales, things haven’t been looking so swell for Rihanna recently. Until now.
Moments ago, the nominations for the Billboard Music Awards 2013 were unwrapped and the model has multiple reasons to smile. More specifically, ten.
Full story…
The 25-year-old chart-topper is no stranger to such omnipresence on the nominee’s list at one of Pop’s biggest calendar nights. Indeed, she made 18 category appearances in 2011, and 13 more in 2012. This year’s army of nominations includes Top Artist and Top Hot 100 Artist.
Interestingly (and perhaps the imperative explanation needed here), the nominees in each category were determined using debatable metrics based on album and digital singles sales, radio airplay, touring, streaming and social interactions on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, VEVO, and Spotify. These measurements were tracked year-round by Billboard and its data partners, including Nielsen Entertainment and Next Big Sound.
With the industry changing and Billboard specifically embracing free streaming as a means of determining popularity, it somewhat figures why social media is being weighed in so heavily into such nominee lists. Still, one has to wonder how accurate they are in relaying true popularity when just recently there was a mass cull Youtube views after many were revealed to have been inflated artificially – including Rihanna’s. That said, each award show to its own, ay?
Elsewhere on the list, other notable nominees include Maroon 5, Taylor Swift, and fun, who each appear in eleven categories.
Justin Bieber, Miguel, Taylor Swift and Bruno Mars are, as at writing, the confirmed performers at the extravaganza which airs live from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on May 19th at 8/7c on ABC.

Let see how many she actually WINS.
Im not surprised… my favs stay winning how many nominations did ciara get?
not sure why this is thumbs’ed up when Ciara hasn’t had an album since dec. 2010. You a fat ugly flop, though its ok. You have NONE Ciara has billboard WOMAN OF THE YR 2008. Where’s Rihanna’s?
Rihanna doesn’t need because the girl stay winning, Ciara can’t even sell a damn song let alone an album.
Rihanna is a nobody ass s***!!!!
yaaaay Queen Fenty!!! and Queen Minaj has 7 ^_^ slay
Shut up b****
YOO SERIOUSLY RIHANNA HAS BEEN WINNING SINCE LIKE 07….IF SHE STEP UP HER PERFORMANCES WITH BETTER DANCING ETC, THERE IS GONNA BE NO ONE IN HISTORY WHOO WILL HAVE HER LEGACY!
Please stop reaching
Debatable metrics by Billboard? Oh ok……Billboard is THEE standard. So when you post billboard stats for Rita Ora and others this blog Stan’s for, bring up the debatable metrics then. The shade is old and lame tbh. How about this debatable blogging and pseudo journalism? Hmm?
well said!
And yet they still have yet to give her woman of the year… SHADE.
She Won Female Artist of the Year in 2011 following the success of Loud and # consecutive #1 Whats My Name, S&M, Only Girl in the world.
Thi was further her reward for being the only artist EVER to have 4 $1 singles in one year. LTYL RB OGINTW WMN in 2010.
GaGa got woman of the year and we see how that STAR HAS FADE
if the Woman of The Year AWARD is an indication of peacing out BB can keep it 😀
BTW Stay just went #1 on Pop songs making Rihanna the FIRST AND ONLY Artist to notch 10 Leaders on the chart
passing katy perry with 9 Brit & Pink 8, GaGa 7
This after she has made accalaids for 27 top ten on the chart and 34 appearances.
POOR DAT THE F****** SDHADE
WHEN WILL GAGA ?
F*** IT BETTER YET WHEN WILL GAGA BE “IT” AGAIN ? HANG IT UP.
SHES RUN OUT OF MADONNA IMPERSONATIONS HAS SHE?
And like other awards shows, she may win one or none. Last year she won one out of 13 and it was not even for her work but for streaming. Lol
If she performs, lets hope she doesn’t get upstaged this time around.
Lol 😉
Rihanna better be performing this year aswell
Congrats to rihanna,tgj you need to stop hating on her,I’m surprised you didn’t mention beyonce on this post.
before sound scan lots of those chart numbers were rig also. especially against black artist the system now is more accurate now than ever before. we could debate lot of the numbers for madonna, mariah or any artist before sound scan in the mid 90’s. if you notice before sound scan rock use to be huge once sound scan came in in the mid 90’s rock died hip hop, rnb and pop took over.
Its always a wonder with this site whenever rih makes ANY accomplishment. Obviously she is popular she has ten nods this year and according to this site 18 in 2011 13 in 2012 now 10 this year. Social media etc was inclued just this year! Am i wrong when i say billboard is for those who chart very well? Well according to her haters all she has are #1s!!!!! So why so questionable? Im my opinion the grammys favortize cuz the same ppl win and perform. Like really drake n frank ocean. Billboards go off NUMBERS!!!! So billboard is more credible.
Another day > Another slayage fest.
Anyway, I CANNOT WAIT to see ‘Prince’ perform. #FUCKINGLEGEND.
What else is new in Empire Rihanna?
Di’d BeyTHIEFce’s “Bow Down” & “I Been On” get ANY nominations? No? Okay…
They weren’t released as singles. Why would they get nominations?
“so swell” ?!8O
the struggle to shade rihanna continues…..
congrats rih 😀
Billboard artist of the Millennium Award (Beyonce and Mariah)>>>>>>>>>>
But congrats to her, lets see how many she actually wins.
” After axing a number of tour dates amidst rumours of poor ticket sales” LOL TGJ stay reaching. SHES POSTPONED A FEW SHOWS. THEY WILL BE RESCHEDULED.
you expect a Bey Fly to know how to differentiate between “Axe” and “postpone” ?!
let them be mad and Bitter.
YES BOO.
Didn’t BeyTHEIFce’ “axe” her new singles date in January, February, March and April?
THE MOTHERFUCKING STRUGLE!!!
The THIEF-HIVE stay hating on H*** who stay WINNAAANG.
🙂 🙂 🙂
Beyonce’s SOLD OUT tour>>>>>>Rihannas STRUGGLE tour
i’d rather not guess how much she really bags.
and wtf. that much stupid categories they can get rid of? damn. bb messed with genres mixes already. you can forget about the bot driven socials. atleast the sales are worth something real measurable. but those are the ones you can already find out before. not gonna tune in. 😛
And LMFAO @ Sam/TGJ and their pathetic attempt at trying to dilute the extensive “PRAISE” that Rihanna’s ‘Diamonds Tour’ has achieved from NUMEROUS CRITICS!!!
Unlike BeyTHEIFce’s REDUCTIVE ‘Revel 2.0’ tour.
IF ANYBODY NEEDS RECIEPTS, I WILL GLADLY SUPPLY THEM TO YOU.
KIIIIIII. 🙂
Honey Beyonces tour has received the best praise you can get so far by the critics of every country shes performed. Old routines or not.
I went to the first of my 2 Diamond tour concerts in Sunrise SFL over the weekend and it was Awesome. I get why Rihanna does so well now. She sings with emotion and gets her audience. Her rendition of Stay and Diamond are superb. I am too excited to go see her when she gets to London!
Congrats to Rihanna. These noms prove how boring the year in music was. I hope Rih, Adele, and Carrie Underwood win
The Navy stay bringing up Beyonce. Cant you just praise your fave without bringing Beyonce into it everytime? You tried to shade her billboard awards when she won the best billboard awards someone can get, you tried to shade her tour when the critics and special guests have been praising alike. Shes on your mind that much? Anyway congrats Rihanna.
I predict the awards she will get is Top Hot 100 and Top Social and maybe Top Radio.
Sam!! let it go honey you are losing this battle terribly, every single time you haters come for Rihanna she comes back with receipts, it never, ever fails, move on to someone else because no amount of hatred is going to detour this destiny. Sorry hater, you are fighting a losing battle, you can try to switch it and twist it but it is what it is, the girl is on top and you and no one else at the moment can bring her down, and even when she comes down, she will still have ICONIC status because she is in the books, it’s history, it will be talked about forever.
WTF! PSY in the rap category? 0_O
I said the same thing lol they probably just sails f*** it throw his little Asian ass in the rap category! He Asian I don’t know where their music go lol
Lol! Billboard is a mess when it comes to genres anyway, this just proves it.
Damn Unapologetic is only in the RnB category?
Billboard awards are the worst awards show.
It’s more of a competition of who has the best industry connections rather than who has the best music.
Has anyone on here heard any other songs from that Carly Rae jepsen chick on the radio??? Why the hell she keeps getting nominated for that ONE HIT SONG she had??? That like them nominating kreayshawn for her one hit song smh.
Anyway congrats to nicki minaj, Rihanna, Adele, it’s gonna be tough one
Erm ok. The important thing is how many she takes home though.
Best connection not best music? But all rih singles do swell on the charts. The beyhive steady throw out how many number oned rih has so it shouldnt be a shock that she gets these nods! She is the it girl right now. If beyonce can win a grammy for an album thats old as ever why cant rih win for her current success? She charts shes sold millions of albums sold out tours endorsements. The industr fashion designers and most media love her. N as far as beyonces millenium award, IN MY OPINION STANS, this is enough proof for me that she or somebody pays for her awards! Her sales are suspicious also. All these albums sold from 4 studio albums but not one diamond album? If all four albums went diamond thats still only 40 million sold soooooo im confused. Then u have whitney madonna mariah usherand possibly toni braxton with diamond albums, some of them have more than one diamond album but beyonce gets a millenium award? Ok!!
Why are talking about Beyonce? Has nothing to do with her. If Beyonce pays for her awards, the Rihanna pays for her singles, youtube views and fb and twitter likes since there has been speculation there aswell. Why cant you just let Beyonce have her shine in her avenues like Rihanna does.
are you*
And FYI the Millenium award is a new award that’s why she won it. Mariah won artist of the decade.
I can’t wait!!! The nominations that is line up is so close everybody sold sooo many records over the years!!! Rita Ora will get her time to shine on the billboard awards soon with 10 award nominees like Rihanna. But I’m gonna just sit back and watch Rihanna have her moment cause it won’t last forever, Rita is coming!
LET’S GO NICKI! LETS GO NICKI!
Gratz to Riri and Nicki,Riri on her 10 noms and nicki on her 7 noms.
Top Rap Song – “PSY – Gangnam Style”? Billboard is a joke! That is all!!!
Lmao She bought half of those awards. And lmao What do the Rihc*nts expect. The only thing the H** got is the Billboard Hot100. The h** will never b iconic. And legendary will only b used to describe that Caveman forehead. 4 was certified platinum n 6 months. Unaflop is n its six month reign and its nowhere near 1 million n sales bwahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahhahaha. #THE END IS SOON OVER
ok… SHE BOUGHT NOMINATIONS?
IM F****** DYING. 😀
This isnt the Matthew Knowles Project beau keep it cute and SCURRY THE F*** ALONG.
Rihanna has been slaying hot 100 … slaying Radio just nabbed 9 #1 on Pop Radio FIRST EVER ARTIST TO DO THAT.
mostWATCH ARTIST ON VeVo/Youtube
with the most VEVO Cerified videos
Forbes in 2011 Ranked her the Biggest Sopcial Media Artist.. complex Just Ranked her the Biggest Social media Artist
with Justin beiber second and Lady Gaga 3rd
so with all these WINNING STATISTICS WHY WOULD SHE BUY A NOMINATION… NOT AN AWARD A NOMINATION?
THE HIVE IS SO PRESSED LOGICS ELUDE THEM.
ONE MUST not aprehend hatred to the extnt it clouds there percepton of reality…
#BasicBitchsStayInYourLane #orNot #Majah #RihannaNavy #WeBadYouMad ughhhh 😀
I only hope Chris doesnt go as Rihanna’s little lap dog, he obviously didnt have a great year like some of these mainstream artists…he should focus on promoting his upcoming album, he could use the Today Show, Dancing with the stars, Jimmy kimmel, David letterman.
These awards need him more then he needs them, at least I can understand why he has 1 nomination but it doesnt mean he should go for stupid ratings.
Ewww That s*** looks nasty ass hell n that pic. B**** please put that infected bumpy tongue bac n ur mouth. That tongue has upstaged Superhead lmfao. Nasty ass h***** h**.
Just like that b**** in your av looks bloated n bleached!!!!
lmaoooooooo
I bet R****’s hand smells worser than horse s*** mixed with goat s***. After patting her c****** every nite on the Flopiamond tour. Lmao She does that better than anyone. I hear she’s also nominated for some p*** awards. Best p**** pat down. She got that n the bag. Lmao Cause that’s her best talent. This gurl is beyond pathetic.
Ok good. But looking and these nominees just shows how boring the past year was really.
The Problem im having here is ….
The year has been SO BORING as you said.
Yet Your FAVE is sooo SCARED To release that single.
i F****** CANT
does rihanna have her that shook and shaking
im f****** cackling down
the hood hive has done it again
ohh how pityful and traumatic it must be being a member of the hive. OHH THE DISTRAUGHT THE ANGUISH
the Winns that Beyonce just never acheive since the biggining of the new decade that we are already three years deep
i cant… The NAVY ONLY KNOWS HOW TO BE NUMBER ONE
BOW DOWN.
Oh whatever. Only people that think Beyoncé is scared is you damn delusional Rihanna fans. Unless you are in her brain then have a seat. 16 years in the game with competitors and shes still here going strong please cut the b*******. And the year was BORING for ME, I am entitled to that opinion. You b*** hurt?
ARE WE THE ONLY ONES?
BB stated Grown Woman would have been released yet Beyonce Retreacted it
The Uk Daily mail wrote an article on the struggle of being a beyonce fan, as she is refusing to give you music and the release date keeps getting pushed back…
SuperBolt Grammy’s No single…..
Beyonce sends her singles to radio to get TESTED
Rihanna sends singles to Radios and the Go #1 and SMASH
keep up.
And yet what does the have to do with being scared of Rihanna? You have not heard it from the horses mouth, therefore your opinion holds about as much weight as hot air! You dont want me to go in on the amount of articles written bashing Rihanna for her non talent having ass,i’ll be gentle.
WTF is a SuperBolt Fresh Navi ROTFL
LMMFAO @ super cisus U mad that’s the pic Hoeianna said would destroy the self esteem of entire nation bwahahahahahhahahahahahhahaahahhahahahah…I can’t.#EPIC FAIL
Beyonce is a fat ho she will never be a model like Ciara cos she too fat and old
lol !!!!!!
yuuuP FLAWLESS IN DEED
prir to IASF
last hit beiong sngle ladies .
with the axe of her MANAGER AND MANUFACTURER MATTHEW KNOWLES BEYONCE CAREER HAS BEEN EXPERIENCE A STEADY DECLINE WITH KNOW HOPES OF REJUVINATION POOR YOU
YOUR MAD YOUR FUMING.
At least Rihanna is not scared to compliment a bytch. But BeyAIDce is scared to give credit to a bad bytch like RiRi, too scared to release a single in 2013.
you don’t know ‘sarcasm’ , right ? 😆
She aint being sarcastic shes always saying Beyonce is pretty in interviews. You should know, youre supposed to be a fan.
but the billboard awards has always been about accuracy over more than just talent the performances aren’t like what it used to be but lets be honest the music hasn’t been either but how they award the nominees are the same formula airplay and sales and rihanna maroon 5 and bruno had lots of that this year and the end of last year
That REIGN THO….
Rihanna Rewrites Record For Most Pop Songs No. 1s
In tallying her 10th leader, she passes Katy Perry for the most toppers in the chart’s 20-year history.
In tallying her 10th leader, she passes Katy Perry for the most toppers in the chart’s 20-year history.
Rihanna becomes the first artist in the 20-year history of Billboard’s Nielsen BDS-based Pop Songs radio airplay chart to tally 10 No. 1s, as “Stay,” featuring Mikky Ekko, rises 2-1.
Rihanna breaks a tie with Katy Perry, who’s notched nine No. 1s since her 2008 arrival; also impressively, Rihanna has rung up her No. 1 sum since just 2006, when “SOS,” her first leader, reached the summit. She’d last led with “We Found Love,” featuring Calvin Harris, for eight weeks, marking her longest command, in late 2011/early 2012.
The record for most No. 1s is the latest for Rihanna on Pop Songs. She previously established the marks for most entries (35) and top 10s (23) dating to the ranking’s Oct. 3, 1992, launch.
“Stay” also charges 11-7 on Adult Pop Songs, becoming her third top 10 on the list, and debuts at No. 30 on Adult Contemporary. (It’s reached No. 3 on the all-format airplay/sales/streaming-fueled Billboard Hot 100.)
Also notably, “Stay” is only the second piano-and-vocal-only No. 1 of the 259 songs to have ruled Pop Songs. The first? The song that “Stay” dethrones after three weeks at the summit, Bruno Mars’ “When I Was Your Man.”
Here’s a recap of Rihanna’s record 10 Pop Songs No. 1s:
2006, “SOS” (one week at No. 1)
2008, “Take a Bow” (three)
2008, “Disturbia” (three)
2008, “Live Your Life” (T.I. feat. Rihanna) (two)
2010, “Rude Boy” (two)
2010, “Love the Way You Lie” (Eminem feat. Rihanna) (two)
2010, “Only Girl (In the World)” (three)
2011, “S&M” (one)
2011, “We Found Love” (Rihanna feat. Calvin Harris) (eight)
2013, “Stay” (Rihanna feat. Mikky Ekko) (one to date)
Singles queen! Thats about it though.
lmfao A KATY PERRY fan CALLS SOMEONE A SINGLES QUEEN?
I CANT RIHANNA SHUT DOWN TEENAGE DREAM TOUR WITH LOUD TOUR
TEENAGE DREAM TOUR 40 MILL
LOUD TOUR 90 MILL
LOUD WW SALES 7 MILL
TEENAGE DREAM W/ REPACAGE 6.7
DO WE SEE THE DISTINCTION
THE ONLY THING KATY HUDSON IS GOOD AT IS DISCOUNTING SINGLES SHE MAKES NICE ONES AS WELL
KAY TRUELY HAS ONE SUCCESSFULL ALBUM SO IM YET TO SEE HER PROES AT ANYTHING BUT SINGLES.
PLEASE SIT.
Had this been katy you’d be in utter bliss. bitterness isnt cute ask SAM 😀
Mkay
Rihanna is the queen of singles thats it. The Navy rejoice because they are so basic. The fact they snubbed her in hot200/100 ALBUMS category says it all.
YASSSS RIH!
The only b**** who’s winning is ADELE… that album was released back in January 2011 and still slaying the chart in 2013…
How did she get snubb Love?
Her Unappologetic album is the 7 Best Selling album in the past year in the US.
PINK LuminEERS MAROON5 TAYLOR SWIFT did better soooo?
BEYONCE IS AN ALBUM ARTIST? HER ALBUM SALES DRASTICALLY DECLINE WITH EVERY SUCCESSIVE CHAMPAGNE
loud OUTSOLD lady GaGa BTW worlwide and you people consider her an ALBUM ARTIST
HELL LOUD OUTSOLD TAYLOR SWIFT RED WW
GGGB OUTSOLD ANY TAYLOR SWIFT ALBUM WW SO IM TRYING TO ASCERTAIN HERE WHAT SINGLES ARTIST ARE THE LESSORS REFERRING TO.
Where is her nomination then? (Besides the RnB category cos as you all like to say, RnB category is irrelevant)
The fact you said all that and they still cant give her a nom in the main categories (besides singles) makes it even MORE of a snub.
The delusions
Jealous that Lana’s debut album was certified 1 x wood?
Loud came out in 2010 and did 5 to 6 million. Una came out 2012 and sold 3 million worldwide. Red came out at the same time in 2012 and it’s already 3.5 million in US alone and over 7 million worldwide.
BASIC C*** LOUD SOLD 7 MILLION KEEP UP.
funny your a del rey fan and you apparently stay glued to rihanna every move and facts…
@ Lana Del S***… B**** stop lying!!! Taylor’s RED album just past the 5 million mark ww 2 wks ago! Rihanna’s album still sold more WW than Taylor’s if you do the math DUMMY!!!! Rih has sold over 2 mill outside the US, Taylor is at 1.5 outside… 1.5+3.5= 5… That’s your math lesson for the day you dumb broke b****!!!!
Um…@ Fresh Gavy……Why would THAT HIVE b pressed when 4 ALBUMS HAVE SOLD 118 MILLION RECORDS >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> R****’s 7 albums has sold 100 million records. B**** go lick the rest of Breezy’s c** up. That R**** for got to lick up. #BOOM POW POW C*NTS
Gurl where are your receipts for those 118 million records? She is nowhere near that number. Rihanna has sold more than 100 million records, according to X Factor 180 million! I guess your source is a random site like Pepsi/MTV which always give delusional numbers.
LOL you Mean Beys 4 Solo Albums + DC 4 Albums = 118 Million Records indeed.
Solo Sales now.. i think the number your looking for is 78 million.
The delusion.
G2G study.. books before BRAINLESS BLOGGERS.
Trying to make her look bigger than what she really? HIVS= pathetic,desperate and delusional. if you think about it Rihanna still snatch that wig by herself with no hype of a group no mommy and daddy.
Rihanna is winning in all formats including albums! She is not beating Adele’s album sales of course but which black woman has beaten TTT and Unpologetic in 2011-2013 WW? “Nobody” not even the fat washed up t*****. As a black woman Rihanna is still slaying. Deal
Rihannas album sales are basic and she relies on hits to sell. Of course shes not outselling Adele. Taylor and JT slayed her this this year. I like Beyonce aswell and you are always quick to bash her when the only album Rihanna can outsell decently is 4? And she cant even outsell her in the states with more albums. Pathetic. Please give it a rest already. Gaga can sell over 1 million in the first week with discounts, Rihanna still flopped with Rated R. I mean, has it even sold 5 million yet? No wonder Billboard don’t nominate her in the albums category.
Are you forgetting how Rihanna snatched that Lace front with Good Girl Gone Bad? Rihanna has outsold Bday as well. And Rated R came out in 2009 so it’s irrelevant to the discussion.The point is Rihanna is a black Caribbean woman still slaying in 2013. While Beywhale still can’t release a single even with big promo. And you still didn’t name a black woman who has beaten her CURRENT albums TTT and Un.The only thing you have against Rihanna are Adele and Taylor because your fav is a flop. Deal
Snatched what and by how much 1 million? And all I am saying is, don’t be to quick to bash Beyonce with her new album because you don’t know what the outcome will be. I mean, people are waiting, even I am intruigued. Imagine if she ends up outselling Unapologetic? You will all need to eat a slice of humble pie.
Did you read what you typed? she depends on HITS to sell!!! I would hope that if I purchase an album there will be hits and that they would sell. SMDH!!! what is going on with the education system. I love Adele, and Adele sold because she had great songs and they were hits, same with Rihanna. NOBODY is outselling Adele so what are you talking about? Here is what you all don’t pay attention too, slow and steady is better, why sell 1 million copies first week but then take a year to sell 2 mil.? steady sales says that people like what they are hearing and they are continue to purchase it, people go out and purchase an album simply because they like someone and then they get it and they are disappointed, it is better for an album to sell off of the quality of the work, not just the name, it says more that her album is steadily selling from day 1 than for it to sell 1 million and then just become nothing, now good singles, not anything, it doesn’t make sense. People like Gaga and Bey they get big numbers up front off of name alone, but then nothing happens. Look at Adele her album is selling because of it’s quality and the same goes for Rihanna, the album is selling off of it’s quality not just the name. I realize that only smart and sensible people will understand what I am saying, which is about 4 or 5 people on this blog but one day you will get it.
Ugh. The shallow minded that you need a HIT on an album to buy it. I stopped reading after that. Typical Rihanna fan.
Payola…
Honey she is not working with Matthew, so there is no Payola, that went out the door when Matthew got the booth, hence the flopping of everything after. Daddy didn’t have to pay anyone off for Rihanna.
Honey, that’s what talentless singers do. They buy awards just like they buy # 1 singles….
Funny how billboard stats become questionable when it’s not your FAV!!! SMDH!!!
B**** do u have reciepts for that 180 million?????? Hell naw. Hoeianna wished she sold that much. She has sold 75 million records. And around 25 million albums. B**** KING B is certified selling over 75 million albums. All togather she has sold over 193 million records. DC + Solo. Hoeianna hasn’t passed neither one n album sales. Just records sales. Sub Par H**. She’s only booasting singles, not albums lmfaoooooooooooooooooooooo. #KING B BITCHESSSSSSSSSSSSS
Ummmm!! Beyoncé have been out way longer than Rihanna, she is a grandmother compared to Rihanna, but if you break the stats down, Rihanna is still more successful at this point in her career, it is undeniable. PERIOD!!!
Omg, you are so delusional! Beyonce was at 75 million records before 4 era so she has yet to cross 100 million records. We all know that Rihanna sells more singles than Bey so it’s impossible that Bey has sold more records. Rihanna has sold around 30 million albums, not 25. Beyonce is at 25 million though. Judging by her sales she is a single artist too since most of her sales are singles. She is not a huge album seller like her fans think, her albums sales are average like Rihanna’s. At least Rihanna slays when it comes to singles.
Here’s my source, where is yours? I’m still waiting. 0:29

Beyonces album sales are better than Rihannas overall sorry to burst your bubble. And bear in mind Rihanna practically has double the albums and Beyonce is not even far behind overall and is ahead in America. And X Factor lmao? If you can use X Factor then why cant Beyonce fans use MTV?
According RollingStone
The recipient of six Grammy Awards® and seven Billboard Music Awards, Rihanna has sold over 41 million albums and 150 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 63 million Facebook fans, and over 27 million Twitter followers. In addition to her 12 Hot 100 #1 singles and overall 24 Top 10 singles, she also has 18 #1 singles on the Billboard Dance Club Song Charts.
Do you believe it? MTV said that Beyonce has sold 120 million albums. Like really? Maybe if you combined Jay Z + Rihanna + Destiny’s Child.
Beyonce album sales are not impressive either considering that Britney/Xtina/Pink/Avril and many other scould score 10+ million selling album. Beyonce doesn’t have one and she couldn’t score it even when album sales were huge. I admit, Rihanna is an average album seller but Beyonce is not an impressive one either.
My point was what makes X Factor more credible than MTV. Im not saying theyre right, but dont hypocritical when you are using some random X factor stats. And its the Rihanna fans that are always bashing Beyonces sales when her albums technically sell better than Rihannas. Im not talking about anyone else.
This just proves that Rihanna will be bigger when she reaches Beuglyonce’s age ho. And wikipedia is your only source n***** bey
When has she ever cancelled multiple shows because of ppor sales. This blog is b*******.
People talk about Rihanna selling more albums than Beyonce, the b**** has 7 albums (almost double) and Beyonce is not even far behind. And has still outsold her in America. That’s why people call Beyonce the better album seller, because overall she is. Sorry Navy. But good for Rihanna anyway I hope she wins some decent billboard awards I like the girl.
STFU DELUSIONAL B****!
Delusional? Lmao. U c*nts are the meaning of Delusional. U all think R**** is an vocalist and great dancer. U all think she’s legendary. U all think she’s the best thing since MJ. ALL OF THOSE COMMENTS. SHOULD QUALIFY U ALL STRAIGHT TO HELL! THE DEVIL IS AN LIAR! B**** Hoeianna is the true Singles artist. She has sold 10 times more singles than albums. Sub Par H**. KING B’S 118 MILLION RECORDS SOLD are far more impressive than Hoeianna’s 100 million sold with 7 albums. #THE REAL STRUGGLE
Beyonce is a fat flop without me.
Quit posting under different names troll
Call me when shes actually won all 10. Even 5 for that matter.
I’m pretty sure Rihanna will beat out Nicki in sevral categories. Nicki will probably win the rap category though…
Well I would rather believe MTV over the X Factor. Seeing how MTV has been relevant for decades and would know things like that. Hoeianna was performing on the X Factor that nite. So of course they would say that. Her management probably told the X Factor to say that lie. And lmao KING B is one the best album sellers since the new millenuim has come n. Female solo wise : she’s the only one who can boost about 3 albums each. Selling 7 million or more bwahahahahahahahahhahahahahhahaha
What is that monstrous figure in your avi?
Someone better looking than Mooriah that’s for sure.
Im listen to both and bey is only a better singer and performer rih has better music sorry. Bey sells off of her name not body of work. She sells off of uptempos cuz shes a perfprmer. Rih sells pff of her singles. Ppl may not buy her cd the first week but after a single or two yhey trip over one another to get the album. Barely makes videos cant dance barely can sing but still does a 90 million dollar tour! She doin very well. But yhe only ppl who dislike her are beyonce fans that includes the media. When bey can sell enormously without a video album then compare them. Rih mvusic sells her and beys performances sell her. Even bey fans hated who run the world but once she perfprmed it n did a video while ppl still hated the song they lpved the visual.
All music taste is down to personal taste honey remember that. I would take Beyonces music over Rihannas anyday, maybe because I more RnB than pop but still, I prefer her music. To say Beyonce sells off her name and Rihanna doesn’t is just delusional sorry. All the big names do to some extent hence why they have endorsement deals. All Beyonces albums sound more like bodies of work that Rihannas for me also. None of her albums have had themes besides Rated R. And I am not even Beehive member so….
**than
Yes Nicki!
B**** SIT THE F*** DOWN!!!!
NICKI IS S***!!!!!
And so is your biased ass opinion w****!
B**** who is that gremlin n ur avi?????
Gurl take a F***** seat. That b****’s face stays looking more painted than XXLtina.
Beyonce is way prettier than Mariah b**** always has been always will be. Who are you to talk about her looks when your fave stays looking like a painted cardboard box. S***, Nicki is outshining her on idol with ease.
LOL.
@DIGGER H** always stay trying it.
@BARB BICTH
LOL at you tryna come for me. how is my opinion “biased.” I’ve stopped liking that Nicki chile since late 2011. An who the f*** are you to be talking about looks when Nicki’s nose looks like pinocchio. her hairline starts in her forehead and her booty looks like it’s gonna fall of herr back.
I don’t give a f*** when you stopped liking her. You always stay coming for others like Mariah is gods exclusive gift to earth. Nicki on Idol>>>>>> F******. Shame someone with a receding hairline and Pinocchio nose is still outshining your fave huh?
Taylor got 11 nods! That’s amazing!
#Teamtaylor

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvCpLOCo2IA
Stop beefing please Mariah and Beyoncé love each other!
So because your fave is remindind people that she eats waffles for breakfast that means she’s outshining Mariah.
Gurl just shut the f*** up and remove your crusty self from this blog cuz everyone who has come on the show been praising and recognizing Mariah (even Nicki)
A GIMMICK will NEVER outshine a legend chile.
#RememberDat
She is b****. Respect is fine and Dandy, but everyone knows Nicki is bringing it this season more than Mariah. personality wise and looks wise #DEAL.
LOL… have you ever read the comments on the American Idol Facebook page?
you would have been pissing your pants, crying and begging for mercy at the same damn time.
I admit that Mariah isn’t that great of a judge but Nicki isn’t either and Nicki always stays doing the most with her comments and trying to take over the panel.
But to say She is outshining Mimi is an absolute reach and your delusional ass needs to recognize that.
Congrats to Rihanna’s producers, writers, engineers (for sure), mixers, photographers, stylist, creative director, persona trainer(s), manager, background vocalists, marketing team and make up artist(s). You proved ANYONE can be a star! You truly made this “Save the Children” recipient’s dreams come true!!
Lmao ‘save the children’. GURL!
TGJ why lie about ticket sales? Her concert in miami the other night was sold out and so have all the other shows.. Where do u get this info from?
In america we call journalism like this FOX NEWS
She’s been grinding a lot lately. I read she’s taking a break after this album for a year or so. Not a Stan but diamonds is a hot track
Lmao @ This Stupid B**** @ Slayiah Carey. So I guess u didn’t catch VH1’S Greatest Artist of All Time. Ur Slayiah also said she luv her some KING B. She placed her on her top artists of all time bwahahahhaahhahahahahah
It’s too bad Rihanna won’t be performing at the Billboard Music Awards this year, but I still plan to watch them since I want to cheer her on. Although I’ll have to work at DISH the night of the awards, I still plan to watch them. I can stream live TV on my phone with DISH Anywhere whenever I’m not at home, so I’ll still get to see Rihanna win in every category that she’s been nominated while I’m working.
