    • TRUTH SERUM April 5, 2013

      I love Rihanna’s style and music but come on now.. You know those numbers are more inflated than a hot air balloon. Stick to the singles sales. She is not a good touring artist for obvious reasons #can’tsinglive #can’tdance #keepitcute

    • ERIN (BOW DOWN B******) April 5, 2013

      BEYONCE’S LAST TOUR I AM MADE 120 MILLION. R**** WILL NEVER MAKE THAT LMAO

    • DON’T_START_NO_SHIT April 5, 2013

      King Bey has you all in panic mode. You can try what you want but the single will drop AND IT FIRER!!.. HOTTER THAN YOU FAV BURNING PUSS!

  4. young Rih is worth OVER $ 151 milllion April 5, 2013

    SHE WILL HAVE THE BIGGEST TOUR OF THE YEAR. SHE has europe, australia, NZ, Brazil and HUGE STADIUM , AFRICA WHICH ARE SOLD OUT, I AM SURE they will add ASIA.
    SHE HAS ALREADY MADE OVER 10 MILLION IN HER FISRT WEEK of touring and this tour ends in november, although rumors of russia, venuzula and other countries too
    BYE BEYONCE, BOW DOWN ON YOUR WAY OUT PLEASE.
    YES NAVY! WE have $ 11 mill i the bank from WEEK 1. Coming for that $ 200 mill date. THE FIRST BLACK ARTIST AND YOUNGEST BLACK ARTIST TO DO SO.
    That rihanna reign. There has never been a black YOUNG SINGER sell out global stadiums and on their way to a $ 200 million tour. EVER. Beyonce could not do this at 25.
    She was meant to be a one hit wonder who cant sing. I am so proud.

    • truth(icki is a KMART, NO GRAMMY NOD, PFRR FLOP, SQUID EYED b****) April 5, 2013

      U a pressed b****

      • Too real for you fake b****** April 5, 2013

        @ Truth, we speak intelligence or ears know good music and we know star quality. @ young probably deaf and hear music by feeling the case. We need to help her everyone please donate £1 or what ever you can to the deaf b****** association. Thank you:)

  5. young Rih is worth OVER $ 151 milllion April 5, 2013

    H20,
    I have just come from another top MUISC BLOG and found this. This explains why Beyonce is bitter, resentful and jealous of Rihanna and her rapid rise to fame.
    Rihanna Music of the sun 1. 5 mill
    A girl like me – 3. 5
    GGGB – 8 mil
    Rated R 2.75 ( actually over 3 mill )
    Loud 5.9
    TTT 3.3
    UNA 2.7
    Total – 27. 65
    Beyonce
    Dangerous in love – 8.5 – we all know that LP did not sell over 10 mill
    B day 6. 1
    I am sasha firece 7.1
    4 2.1
    24. 74
    You cannot count group sales, or Kelly rowland will also be one of the biggest selling females under that logic. Rihanna has sold MORE ABLUMS THAN BEYONCE, EVEN THOUGH SHE IS YOUNGER AND BEEN OUT LESS. SHE is richer than beyonce was 24 – 5 with $ 151 MILLION AND SHE earned more than beyonce at that same age. She made $ 53 million at 24 and was on the forbes list, beyonce was not on the FORBES LIST AT 24. The only black singer at that time was janet.

    • TRUTH SERUM April 5, 2013

      Beyonce has got the navy shaking in their nancy boots. @young Rih is rapidly approaching delirium. Please take your paxil…

    • Remix April 5, 2013

      She has released three more albums than beyonce and are almost at the same level of sales. So thanx to this navyfanatic, we definitly Know That beyonce sells more albums than Rihanna! Thanx a lot but we all know this

    • Annie April 5, 2013

      You sound stupid, comparing 7 albums to 4 albums…get over it! Of course 7 albums should have more sales than 4!

    • bedia123 April 5, 2013

      Ahhmmm HUN? you forgot to bring in the sales of destiny’s child?

      DC- 3M
      Writing’s On The Wall -13m (8m in US alone)
      Survivor – 10m
      Destiny’s Child Fulfilled – 7m
      Greatest Hits – 3m

      That’s 36 Million 😀 with Destiny’s Child Alone… Okie Bye B**** 😀

  6. young Rih is worth OVER $ 151 milllion April 5, 2013

    BOW DOWN BEYONCE. Rih will be NUMBER 1 on the forbes list at 25.
    SHE made $ 53 million last year. This year we have $ 200 million tour
    Mac make up line
    Styled to rock USA
    River island summer and winter collection
    Chanel deal
    Record sales
    Male and female Fragrance that gay and straight men will LOVE
    2 MOVIES ( Sam, you failed to show the trailer for Rih’s new movie cos you know she STEALS THE SHOW. HER SECENE SHIST ALL OVER THE ACTORS )
    777 DOCU next month
    I say RIh could make a cool $ 100 at 25
    BOW DOWN BEYONCE, YOU NEVER HAD THAT AT 25

  7. Kate Middleton April 5, 2013

    Behind the scenes??? More like clips from yonk years ago. Too scared to show your fat self fatty?

    Fat & haggard, she also stole the beat of this song from that superstar Baltimore club… this oversized walrus hasn’t changed her ways of thieving.

    • Too real for you fake b****** April 5, 2013

      id rather be a thief then follow a thief and comment on there posts everyday. you just sound negative im guessing your fat or unhappy in some way. If you dont like her fat self show your beautiful body please, instead of f****** dogs hugging as your screen saver. Until i see your face your a fat/ugly hater who gets hope of disrespecting beyonce, because its easy to hate someone else. Have a nice day 🙂

      • truth(icki is a KMART, NO GRAMMY NOD, PFRR FLOP, SQUID EYED b****) April 5, 2013

      U deserve to be slapped u Rasfushia looking ass b****. Ur probably not even a woman u damn t*****. But a balding, 40 year old, morbidly obese white male who’s obviously obsessed. How dare you stak Bey’s life and talk about her being fat when you look like a f****** glycerin ball b****? You will never learn you ugly beast. Now gtfo.

    • Jessi April 5, 2013

      How did Beyonce “thieve” this concept? When it was directed and produced by someone else (Pepsi)? smdh. *face hits palm*

  8. young Rih is worth OVER $ 151 milllion April 5, 2013

    ” Honestly at this point, Rihanna is a god in pop music and global. I dont think Beyonce has it anymore . And this is coming from a true beyonce stan.
    I tried to copy and paste but Sam blocked me. I agree ( minus the god ) Rih is no god of anything, but she is the king of pop and beyonce now is struggling to play catch up.

  10. kim April 5, 2013

    Shakes my head at first comment. You nervous boo? Beyonce is just being Beyonce. You b**** made 50 milli off a tour, endorsements and sales off two albums. 10 milli less than the king that sat at home. Reread what u just typed pressed b****. Waiting for Forbes figures 2013 cause you know your b**** did not tour 2012. Keep inflating figures rih is not even worth 100 milli yet. Dont forget networth is not equals income.

    • young Rih is worth OVER $ 151 milllion April 5, 2013

      Rih is worth $ 100 and more. AT MARCH 21 2012 SHE WAS WORTH $ 98 million add that to $ 53 million and you have

      $ 151 million/ AT 25 MORE THAN BEYONCE AT THAT AGE. HA HA HA AH HA HA AH beyonce figures are even more inflated and lies.

      YES, I am waiting in happiness for forbes list 2013.

      Rih dIAMOND tour has already made near $ 12 million. She made $ 90 mil of a tour that was smaller than Diamonds at 23 – something beyonce did not have. SHE IS GONNA SHUT BEYONCE DOWN IN 2013.

      Stay is number 5 on usa itunes and has sold 1. 8 mil in the usa

      Pour it up must be platinum by now

      UNA IS AT 40 ON ITUNES AT FULL $ 15.99 price. It is at over 800k so platinum in next week or so.

      BEYONCE DONE! SHE CANNOT STOP RIH NOW.

      WHO IS SELLING ON EVER CHART AROUND THE WORLD SINGLE AND ALBUMS.

  18. Matthew Charlery-Smith April 5, 2013

    Good BTS. These are always important to get the mental process of those involved which leads to creativity.

    Still reminds me of Whitney’s “I’m Your Baby Tonight” video!

    Still not liking the song!

  19. Lydia April 5, 2013

    Beyonce could give £100,000 to The Amy Winehouse Drug Rehabilitation Fund quite easily.(For using Back To Black)
    At least have the courtesy to respond to Mitch Winehouse Beyonce
    But then again it’s Beyonce, the woman who thinks she’s more powerful than Michelle Obama
    BOW DOWN TO AMY WINEHOUSE!

  39. MISHKA April 5, 2013

    She’s truly a hardworker.

    More than the destination, it’s definitely the journey that I enjoy to watch when it comes to the Queen.

    Hard work STILL pays off more, even today.

  40. Niorocks April 5, 2013

    Don’t hate as for ripping off I had the same idea 7 years does that mean she stole my idea incase you aren’t from planet earth people do come up with the same ideas its happens with most inventions, so don’t be a jealous b****, bow down b******

  41. Jessi April 5, 2013

    She looks good. I really wish “Grown Woman” was her first single though. I love that song thus far.
