As ‘Pour It Up’ makes its way to 2 million units sold, Pop nocalist Rihanna has celebrated the news that her single ‘Stay’ has now outsold Beyonce‘s 2008 hit ‘Halo‘- making it the highest selling ballad by a black female artist in the US.
An interesting story below…
Upon its release on December 23rd 2008, ‘Halo‘ surpassed digital sales of 3,123,000 units by October 2012, after peaking at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Now, by way of 3,298,000 units sold by Rihanna’s ‘Stay’ since January 7th of this year, the performer is now claiming that this feat has seen break ‘Halo‘s record for being the highest selling ballad by a black female artist in the US.
Pretty strange, considering the 4,591,000 units sold by Whitney Houston‘s ‘I Will Always Love You’ by 2009, or the 3.5 million+ copies sold by Tracy Chapman‘s ‘Fast Car‘, after its April 1988 release.
In intentionally spreading the misinformation cooked up by the fan above, the ‘Fading‘ performer went on to tweet:
Indeed.
Alas, with many a Beyonce fan billing her a ‘purveyor of tall tales’, here’s hoping the hours that follow see her explain this would be record further…and figure out a way to score herself a second #1 album.
Until then, join us in enjoying one of our favorite numbers below!

Wow congratulations Rihanna! The hive must feel salty.
How rude of this w**** to disrespect Whitney like this.
It’s typical of her. Whitney is only one black woman who has that record and she felt no way about disrespecting her.
So shameful. I was about to congratulate her until I read the full article. No wonder Chris dumped her lying b***.
Awww look, it’s the bitter b**** brigade! Better run and buy Triumphlop and Beyonce’s album of snippets girls.
She’s a liar.

I didnt even know halo holds such a record wel congrat riri and bey this shows they are the at the top, and halo and stay are one of their songs i love at first listen.
Hmm even if she has passed Beyonce we all know who HAS REAL TALENT!! Lmao
Someone with zero talent is slaying your over hyped fav.
Rhi’s vocals S*** in YO fav’s mouf u b****.
Only small minds think about who is the biggest and the best, and beside that Rihanna appeals to her own self made crowd as well as Mrs Beyonce.
H** just hush UGH!!! SICK OF YO STANK ASS!!
the probem with her is she realy want to compete with bey she doesnt verify facts before retweeting which makes her a fool coz her stans just tweet s*** I am glad you pointed out abt Whitney I am huge Whitney stan and I was shocked when she retweet that then I realised that she realy want Beyonce spot so bad not that I care for Beyonce. at lest Rihanna does communicate with her stanbase unlike Beyonce who think she is superior Rihanna does rally her stanbase to vote to buy to watch the videos thats why she just retweet anything they tweet. I hope Rihanna did see this message from Beynce tho I’ve been fortunate to accomplish things that the younger generation of queens dream of accomplishing. Anyways R.I.P Whitney
But…Rihanna has accomplished things that Bey and the younger queens dream of accomplishing, as well!
Like what? Beyonce, Pink, Adele, Katy Perry, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera even Taylor Swift have sold more albums and accomplished things Rihanna never will.
They sell real albums not downloads

Rihanna do not want to compete that is the media and Fans doing that. Beyonce has always worked her b*** off and what is wrong with Rihanna doing the same dam thing.
Supply and Demand make it seem like they are competing,and any way if Rihanna want to compete with Beyonce then tell us what is Kelly, Ciara,Nicki, then doing?
U yuk mouf B****!!
@WHITNEY RIP,
Rihanna want Rihanna spot and it seem she is holding that spot down very well. Rihanna has figured it all out and that is she do not have to ask for Beyonce permission to be the best she can possibly be without getting accused of trying to take Beyonce spot, WHAT IN THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU? CAN’T RIHANNA BE GREAT WITHOUT BEING ACCUSED OF WRONG DOING?
If Beyonce is all that then You would never have to debate whos taking who’s spot now would you , since it is clear that in the Endorsements Beyonce is way ahead of many and with Music and Her Chart success for the last several years now Beyonce lacks behind there are many who has out shinned her in the chart and selling of music department.
And remember Beyonce drops
Music/albums for fun Rihanna then are working for a pay check.
Rihanna clowned the charts and beyonce chart success when her chart success was given praise by Billboard last year with that #1 spot with chart success for the last two decades. Rihanna was #1 and Beyonce was #16 and that says it all Trust.
Whitney was the Voice and Whitney was Loved, she is still being compared to Rihanna now that beats all, BECAUSE A WHITNEY FAN HAS NEVER FELT THE URGE TO COMMENT ON A RIHANNA POST BEFORE, OKAY. Told you many of you will try and compare Rihanna to the Easter Bunny to try and get your point across and it do not mean squat, because people know what this is all about, now don’t we, ITS ALWAYS ABOUT BEYONCE BEING better then Rihanna Them.
Rihanna Ft with Eminem has sold the most with over 5 Million , try and sweep that under the rug Whitney Fan who is using Whitney the Voice againg Rihanna to try and help put the shine on Rihanna.
Where is Whitney’s 6 Grammy for her One Album, In One Night , like Beyonce, Adele has gotten? Rihanna should have Gotten 8 Grammy with “Umbrella” but since it was Rihanna well you already know that would have been to much like Right. Whitney album has out paced all of Beyonce Solo Efforts and is one of the Top Ten Best Selling Albums of all times????????
Let us debate that.
Over 44-Million albums sold and Certified over 17x where is Whitney’s Grammy’s for allof that hard Work??????
And i would love to see Samatha post a article on the biggest selling Tours of the last several years that too will be a great talking Point, don’t you all think?
There yo STTOOOPID ASS go with these fuckn NOVEL u b****!! B**** imma drag yo h** ass everytime i c u. Goin ib behind me comforting b**** i slayed! U flat footed b****!
I was thinking that there was something wrong with those stats. Rihanna, I’m not sure what God you’re talking about with your antics.
I really can’t stand all of these essays stating that Rihanna sold out a stadium in France. So! Nothing about what she may do for charity, nothing about educational achievements, nothing of . Anything really.
Thats that ugly H** @muim. Honey that PATHETIC B**** need to get a lifE!
@ rita and beyonce scared
U are celebrating Rihanna being on the cover of US wekl for being beat down????
Hmmm. Well if that makes u proud too bad.. BTW, Whitney was on the cover of National Inquirer, Globe , other tabloids years and years ago.
Whitney did everything RIhanna did and more.
When RIhanna goes 17 x platinum like the Bodyguard she can be compared to Whitney…..
But for now u can continue to celebrate her abusive relationships.
Beyonce must feel so stupid making that song ‘ bown down b****’ If only she knew what was around the corner.
just looked on wikepedia list of biggest selling acts.
In the acts that have sold 100 million. Emimen, Rihanna, Britney etc.
Beyonce is the acts that have sold 75 million.
So, Rih is now the biggest black singer. Only Donna summer at estimated 130 and Whitney who was in the 200 mill are ahead of her. She will outsell whitney and be the biggest black singer after Micheal jackson.
Beyonce is at 75 mill, according to wiki and she will never sell big a gain. I dont even think she will release albums. WOW, and they said she was a one hit wonder
I have just seen Rita flop whora on twitter, big talking about her second album will shut it down. You, see….rih does not need to go on twitter to brag, she already knows she is 4 biggest selling black act.
Michael
Whiteny
Donna summer ( est )
Rihanna
Janet
Tina
These are biggest black acts in HISTORY.
LOL LOL NOW WHO’S THE LEGEND? Now who should bow down!
You´re a joke! lol
RITA W**** Thanks it is better to get hurt by the Truth
then comforted by LIES.
B****
LOL.
RIhanna is not near Whitneys album sales. U must be talking about some cheap singles.
RIhanna will never outsell Whitneys album record
We are not salty but that wasn’t necessary though girl. STFU and enjoy your success. Pretty much god can’t give you vocals
As long as Beyonce can drop such Silliness as Bow Down then That gives Rihanna the right to talk when she get good and ready at lest shes not telling people to Bow Down like you tell a Puppy.
U need to suck some d*** u b****
laughing at the fact that the non talented girl can sell a ballad but beyonce couldn’t with the last album did any ballads from 4 go gold?
Yes b**** BTINH, 1+1 plat and gold u B****!
@Ciara Barely.
Barley or overkill B**** it went u funky W****!! B**** u shouldve been aborted!!
She is talented. Talent is varied. She WAS THE ONE, who heard the demo and REQUESTED THAT, the unknown singer, Mikkey Ekko stay on the TRACK. That was HER CALL. If that is not real talent, I do not know what is.
Rihanna really stepped it up on This song and Show cased her Vocals really well.
Strp up yo p**** game b****!
Thank you TGJ for spilling the facts. Rihanna was lying. Beyonce NEVER held that record, it was always Queen Whitney.
Whitney was not in Rihanna Era as much as Beyonce is.
Rihanna know what shes talking about , you burnt out fossicles are running like sand through a hour glass because you know we are talking about Beyonce and not WHITNEY.
The only record Beyonce ever held was getting them Grammys while many DESERVING Artist sit idly by and looked on because they know her music did not live up to the Hype of Her Grammy Wins.
And u r not ….ANYFUCKNBODY b****!!
Just comes to show you Rihanna really is the number 1 black female in the industry right now Beyonce had her time tbh.
And u the number one c** bag for black D****!
TAYLOR has out sold Beyonce on many front also.
U slimmy B**** how many hav u sold that WHOO P**** of ur too W****!! B**** U STARTD THIS NOW IMMA DRAG YO FYNKY.ASS EVERY TIME I C U ….H**!!
I guess the Navy didn’t bother to read the article.
In terms of biggest black females in History, only Donna sumer and Whiney are ahead of rih. Donna is 130, but the said est, so it could be less. Whit, is naturally at sky high 200 mill range. But, 25 Rih is 100 and counting, so outsell Donna summer with ease and go head to head with Whit’s record. Within 10 years she will outsell Whit to be the biggest selling black women OF ALL TIME; this makes her a legend, she already is nearing legend status; In Barbados, she is legend and icon; in fact, she, like Bob marley are icons of the west indies
You are the reason no one takes the Navy seriously. Tina Turner is light years ahead of Rihanna. janet Jackson is as well. Brandy and Aaliyah have sold more albums. Rihanna will NEVER outsell Whitney Houston because Whitney sold 170 million albums. Rihanna has sold 27 million albums. She is no icon and never will be. Icons make GREAT music not crappy fast food digital singles
WHO cares, Rih has still outsold Tina Turner and janet. SO you can suck on that and choke or all i care. I am talking record sales and Why is 200 mill and rih us 100 total record sales, so, yes, she could outsell whitney.
Brandy and aahliyah have hot even crossed even sold 50 million records, let alone touch Rih. SHE IS AN ICON AND LEGEN – THE WEST INDIANS WILL CLAIM HER SO
HA HA HA TRUTH HURTS AND I AM PROUD.
Are you really counting the cheap digital singles when it comes to name the biggest sellers in history??? LOLOLOL Rihanna will never be and impact the world like those other true greats.
Yeah.. $1 digital tracks are counted as records just like $12 albums used to.
Rihannna Nazi is a joke.. it’s official
RITA WHORA Listen a truth with their lying ass,always bitter and mad because they can’t stand to see Rihanna shinning Bright, so less get ready for them to dig holes and try to put Rihanna away like they always do.
None of Rihanna fans give a shyt about people taking the Navy serious the navy could care less about who takes them serious at least they are not always trying to tear people success down all the dam time.
They just have to be negative,they don’t know any other way i guess.
We are not Talking about Tina and Janet because they are light years AHEAD of Beyonce too who has been going strong TWICE the years that Rihanna has and Beyonce is working Harder and and snatch and grabbing Deals harder and stronger then Rihanna ever has. Beyonce is working over time looking high and low for the BIGGEST ENDORSEMENT DEALS IN THE WORLD TO LASH ON TOO AND THAT MUCH IS CLEAR FOR THE WORLD TO SEE.
RIHANNA them are working for a living Beyonce living is already made Beyonce is not NEEDY BUT GREEDY and can’t stand to share that spot light that with others especially Rihanna.
This is what I be saying . . . Nicki talked about it Billboard changed the rules so now digital singles every few units counts for record sales, too. So its unfair because when you compare someone ike Brandy who sold 17mil WW off an ALBUM of PHYSICAL COPIES! Do you think if you added singles tally she wouldnt be at about 75mil WW too? Rihanna has sold a lot of SINGLES, not a lot of albums thats why wikipedia has her at such a high ranking. I bet if you go back and count Ciara, Aaliyah, etc SINGLES (back before they were considered slaying in singles) today, songs like “Hot Like Fire” would be gold, 4 pg letter triple platinum, etc. JUST BECAUSE RIHANNA HAS ALL HER STATS ACCOUNTED FOR AND SOMEONE ELSE DOES NOT, DOES NOT MEAN THEY HAVE NOT SOLD MORE! Janet has millions of records that Bllboard does not even count because of the old BMG music clubs from the 80s and 90s that aren’t counted
@muim u pathetic little b****…writin these fuckn novels u dumb h**
RIhanna is no where near Whitney or Janet in albums sales.
STOP LYING stan.
RIhanna can sell all the chheap singles she wants to..
She will never outsell Janet and Whitney in album sales.
Stay mad
Just look at this glorified groupie and her lies.
But why would the Mikkey Ekko tweet this?
Clueless is on MTV! OMG I used to love this movie and tv show!
” \/\/hateverrr!!! “
How is she lying,? She did not say it. Thye meant digital sales. Either way, when will Rita whora get a number 1 album in the USA?
According to Wiki, she is the 3rd best selling black singer in history. And she is closing in on Donna summer, so she will second to whit. HA HA HA
Whitney, Michael, Janet, Usher, R kelly, Alicia Keys, DC3, and Tina have all sold more albums than her.
Stop lying!
U are talking about them cheap singles.
Lets talk about the album sales…. Dont nobody care about no singles sales LOL
What kind of slayage?????
Congrats Rih! The hardest working female in the industry! #Legendary
I’m sure the Fleahive are having a tantrum hahahahahahahaha!
All of the lessor stans need to BOW DOWN to the reigning Queen Rihanna!
ThatMotherphuckingReignJustWon’tLetUp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
STAY>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>halo
Seeth bishes seeeeeetttttttthhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The hive is sooooooo mad. Just take this “L” and move on.
Remember those wall ya fav built? well baby there tumbling downnnnnn. They didn’t even put up a fight
LMFAO ! ^
Killing Beyonce’s career one step at a time. Let’s not forget Beyonce’s last #1 was in 2008
R.I.P ha career
R. I. P to the girl you use to see, her days are over.
The irony was that, it was a song, drake wrote for rih, but accepted, by Rih’s buddy, Rita whora.
LOL the irony….
How can you kill someone’s career and in the same time have him earn more money than you… Even with not a f****** new single out?
She is older and came out before her so of course she has more money but at 25 rih is worth 184 mill so, when she is old like bey, she will be richer.
But that’s not what happened this year, dear Sybil 😥
I am soooooooo confused right now!
Top 5 black female musicians imo
1.Whitney
2.Janet
3. Beyonce
4.Rihanna
5. Nicki
THE OFFICIAL BEST SELLING BLACK WOMEN
Whitney
Donna summer
Rihanna
Janet
Tina Turner
Bare in mind, Donna summer’s 130 is an est and rih is 25 AT 100 MILL so that means rih is on course to be second to to Whit. She needs to aim to Break Whit’s record – she can do it.
Beyonce sold more albums than Rihanna in total… I don’t know what you’re talking about
No, she has not sold more album or record. RIH IS LSITED AT 100 MILL AND BEY ONLY 75;. RIH sold 30 mill albums and BEY 23. NO one counts group sales, cos that would mean kelly rowland is one of teh biggest selling females if we add group sales.
BEY now stands as solo singer and her SOLO SALES DO NOT TOUCH RIH ON THE BIG SSCALE.
100 RECORDS – RIH
75 – BEY
Take it up with the music industry if u are mad. I am talking total, final GLOBAL RECORD AND RIH HAS HER MURKED, SHE sells / sold more beyonce, at a faster time and she is more global. MOST OF BEY SALES came from the USA, where she hails from.
Blah blah blah blah blah records my ass.
She’s a recording artist who’s supposted to be selling albums, if she’s not selling albums then she’s a FLOP!
No one gives a s*** about $1 digital tracks but struggling stanbases and their struggling favs who fail to be successful anywhere else.
And WHEN it comes to albums, Beyonce sold more than 61M+ and 4 million music DVDs, while Rihanna sold 29M+, so………
2012: ” Rita whora is a better singer, that rih and rih jocked her swag ” Roc nation are behind her and she will shut rih down ”
2013 ” When beyonce does the superbowl, she will snatch wigs and slay lives. ” There was even a doctored picture of beyonce pushing a shopping cart with Rih’s chopped head in it.
Summer of 2013? Who is laughing now?
F*** THE BEYONCE THIEF PIC YOU POSTED INSTEAD OF RIHANNA. you can jam that b**** down people throat all you want.
…..
RIHANNA IS THE WINNER .
#LEGEND
So she was lying? Oh my.
Do you guys know Rihanna is the only black female with a Number 1 single since 2008..
R.i.p bey.. 🙁
The fact that two Taylor albums outsold Rihanna’s entire discography though.
I mean, Taylor is blonde, country singer, so what do u expect? The good news, is that Rih now outsold, Shania twain. Rih has outsold Dolly parton too, In fact Garth brooks has sold 100 mill or so and rih is at 100mill but she is young black girl, who was barely supported by her label.
So, in my book, rih is the REAL WINNER.
The songwriter and producer of ‘ stay ‘, Mikkey Ekko, just wrote this: ” Thanks to everyone who has supported stay along the way. You guys are amazing. Huge news today xx 100% confirmed by the songwriter, co producer. She did not lie.
” Thank you@ rihanna. Humbled and honoured to be part of Stay. Congrats to you, too! – Mikkey Ekko
SO now what SAM? I wonder what Rita whora and all other haters think?
Rihanna tell lies, Beyonce makes hits. Rihanna tells lies, Karrueche has Chris.
& Rita sucks d****
You DID say she copies Rihanna didn’t you?
Mikkey ekko the songwriter confirmed this. Beyonce has not had a hit for years. Keae have Chris, he has no business being with an A List legend, no when he has not even sold 50 millon records. Chris is back on his low class level, where he belongs.
yeh yeh… fact is those oldies sold more, but… in these days relevant shorties music business you can score that a given she on top of the pile.
🙂
But why does she have seven albums and less than 10 million sold?
Where are her number one album(S)?
Why do we never hear her sing a capella?
Why can’t she keep a man?
She has sold 30 mill albums WW. She is only 25. How many 25 are married? Halle berry cannot keep a man, your point?
29 though
THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUU! 30mil WW after 7 albums? Thats a fucken FLOP LMAOOOO Ciara sold 8mil off just 2 eras ! That means even if she keeps flopping (Fantasy ride 300k ww, Basic Instinct 200k WW) she still will be at 30mil after releasing 10-12 more albums. QUANTITY=/=QUALITY!
Lmao rihanna is the ONLY artist I know who tweets or retweets
every achievement they ever get. And 9 times out of 10 it’s false information!!
Lol she’s is so desperate for beyonces spot. But until she can sell out world tours in minutes,
Wow people with her performances, win 6 grammys in one night. And sell over 180 million records. This will never happen!
U know that Rihanna usually posts ACCURATE info. Why lie? Why would she want Beyonce’s when she is surpassing it with her own spot? And, truth be told…Beyonce sold her tickets off of lies and false promotion of new music. She fooled her own fans for the money.
According to Billabord, Beyonce tour in Europe was not even sold at. It as like at 94% sold out. and the hive were sending threatening messages to billbaord.
You didnt think Beyonce was going to add any more legs huh? Oceana has just been announced on top of Latin America and a second US leg… Stay Tuned
LOL
Yup she will be going to oceania in October, buyt no stadiums will be added. As expected. the funny this is, She goes to canada In november, then the USA. I guess that means no album is coming year. TEE HEE all that superbowl hype about this album being her biggest era ever, was shut down by rih, who is erasing her legacy day by day.
PS: Rih is going to Puerto rico and Barbados; her tour is far from slowing down, as is her career. HA HA HA HA
Why is Braqzil the only country she plays stadium? Talk about local.
Rihanna is not doing stadiums in oceana either. Shes not even doing latin america. How do you know Beyonce wont add any more stadiums. The demand for her in south africa to name just one is huge. You also said she wasnt going to add any more legs.
Rih is doing stadiums in South africa. LOL LOL Rih has sone stadiums at 25. Something beyonce could not do. Diamonds world tour is adding dates too.
WHO gives a f*** about south america, rih runs EUROPE. That is more importanyt market. Getting number 1 in the UK means more than brazil
The good thing beyoce flop album is not coming out this year, or next year.
And we shall see who outgrosses who at the end. Just know Beyoncé doesn’t settle for less when it comes to money 😉
@rita and beyonce scared of rihanna
Beyonce did stadiums on her first tour in Asia in Japan etc She did stadiums on her 2nd tour which gross over 120 million ww.
The Mrs Carter Show has grossed over 23 million in the first 14 dates. Diamonds tour grossed 14 million in the first 14 dates LMAO!!!!
Good looking out Ri.
Rihanna did not intentionally post misinformation. The truth is that she still has beat beyonce in sales. Y’all love to call Rih petty, but this is the most petty thing I have ever seen! And this is why Black people will never rise, we constantly tear each other down and gloat about it!! But…the POWER OF RIHANNA IS REAL. There’s so much power in her name, she didn’t lie about that!!
Leave race out of this, this has got nothing to do with race. Stop talking about black this and that when it was Rihanna who retweeted that she took Beyonce’s BLACK record.
@Beauty, u are right!
yes, Everything rihanna does online is Intentional. 😉
Rihanna is telling porkies and I’m mad because I love her.
Didn’t Hero sell more lol.
But why did she lie for? She know this isn’t true.
At least Beyonce did it before those pathetic RIAA rule changes *shrugs and walks away*
See my post below, LOVE
Such a cheap b**** to come for the Queen when she’s raising her family.
Beyonce girl, you BETTER teach this little girl a lesson or two when you return to the Kingdom!
And wtf happened to hero and i will always love you?
STAY will win Song and Record of the year at next years Grammys
LOL Keep dreaming.
I’m confused. How can Rihanna have this record when everyone knows Whitney, Tracy, Mariah and Alicia all have ballads that sold more than Stay.
BABY TURN THE PAGE PLEASE.
Da baddest chick in the game!
KingRihanna>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Your Fav
When it comes to singles? Yes..
When it comes to anything else? No..
She has sold more LP’s than beyonce, Rih has sold 30 and beyonce 25 or even 23.
Beyonce 61M+ though… in addition to 4M DVDs
Uhmm atleast beyonce and whitney didn’t need a white person to sell a ballad. Queens
Last time I checked Leona Lewis “Bleeding Love” is the highest selling ballad by a black musician after whitney houston
Lool at the irony of that tweet. Talking about not speaking and yet shes the one retweeting everything, even lies!
The desperation that you are so fast to retweet without even checking the credibility.
The H** are salty as Phuck LOL!
Also, another recod just in! Rih is now the most viewed / subscribed artist on YOUTUBE / VEVO. This will hurt beyonce’s comeback, cos now they count youtube views.
am i the only one on this blog who love both rihanna n beyonce? like am i the only one who actually celebrate when any of them wins?? anyway i love halo more than stay but i got to admit that i am dissappointed in beyonce for not releasing an album for such a long time but its ok coz Rihanna is keeping me busy with unapologetic……happy for you riri
You’re not the only one –I love both of them too!
The back & forth between the two stan bases is amusing to me.
It’s so tired. I used to participate and bash the F*** out of beyonce and the Hive, but I realized that it solved NOTHING. Rihanna is my fave and no one will away me from that, and I respect Beyonce for her hard work and talent.
Mother fuckers say the same s*** everyday….sounding like broken records. It’s just TIRED!!!
Rihanna is really stupid tho lmao
I love Rih but this was completely unprofessional on her behalf. This shows how envious she is of Bey. The whole thing is stupid.
Man I swear yall stan for sales too much and it clouds your mind of what is truely inpactful. And sometimes its not a reflection of sales. I like the song stay but its not very memorable ballad in terms of impact on pop.
Impactful
And the tweet is false information. Damn Rihanna are you that desperate?
Being Rihanna ain’t that hard, Beyoncé could easily have all these #1s and breaking records which she also has more than Rihanna huh , going to Max Martin , Dr Luke , Redone and co isn’t hard . Beyoncé choose quality over whatever Rihanna has .
Who run the world (Girls) X4!
You call that quality music? B**** please!
I’m sure that made her life to know she finally beat her idol in something, good for her:

Wow people love to make out Beyonce is the one with the issue but she would never be so unprofessional just to shade. She would never tweet such a thing whether it was true or not. No wonder she doesnt like Rihanna shes so immature and petty. I think theres more that meets the eye with Rihanna. Nobody ever has a bad word to say about Beyonce as a person but I cant say the same for Rihanna. I was watching an interesting interview when Waka Flaka Flame was talking about Ri aswell.
Beyonce and her dad are t he greediest people .
All the s*** that happened with destiny’s child. Beyonce stealing the publishing from songwrtiers; beyonce stealing from unknown singers etc.
Still has nothing to do with my comment. And they by far are not the only people in the industry to do that so miss me with that the industry is shady.
Rihanna tweets and brags, beyonce sings songs like bow down how immature & petty of a “grown woman” to do so.
Exactly she keeps in her music. Not real life.
hold up though…Rihanna’s not even from America, so how can she even be considered for this record?
I prefer Beyonce but well done Rihanna, ‘Stay’ is a genuinely nice song.
Meanwhile Beyonce’s halo remains one of best selling and best charting singles of all time with over 6 million copies sold across the globe and spending 20 weeks at #1 on the Brazilian charts, 30 weeks in the US top 40, 36 weeks in the Australian top 50 and 1 year in the top 100 of the UK Charts. As well as the immense commercial success, Halo also attracted huge critical acclaim being nominated for 3 Grammys and winning 1 the song has since won numerous other accolades. Whitney Houston’s ‘I Will Always Love You’ remains the best selling female ballad of all time having sold over 15 million physical copies, one can only imagine how much the single would have sold post digital revolution. none the less congratulations Rihanna on her “best-selling” ballad stay
Shame it came out 5 years ao and beyonce will never ever ever recreate that level again. She is done.
RITA THANKS.
Sybil aka. someone who said Beyonc will never ever ever play stadiums, only to get skull-snatched the next day..
I said she will never play important stadiums in the western world. WE ALL KNOW SHE IS HUGE………..IN ghetto riot broke ass favela brazil
Call me when she plays stade de france or any stadium in the UK. Not a charity
Ghetto world lol? Stadium is a STADIUM.. No matter if it’s located in Europe or Afghanstan….. What’s the difference?
Oh and as stats proved, she can play stadiums in Europe too, specially in the UK..
Wait is this the truth or not people are saying its lies how do yall no?
Because Sam provided numbers? Are you illiterate or just blind?
It shows how egotiscal she is aswell the fact she actually believes she outsold people like Whitney Houston.
Reading is fundamental Samantha. Digital sales was not around with “I will always love you “.
cheap excuse to feel more worth huh? ya bs. that old was just cds now it’s just itunes. in the end added sales are the s***.
Rihanna killed Beyonce’s carrier.
And then an alarm rang and woke you up from your dreams in the morning to check Forbes list… Only to find Beyonce with more than $10M made more than Rihanna
even slutty s** tape Kim K and p*** star jenna jamison make millions…..I fail to see what the point is? Point it, bey wil never slay the global or isa charts gain. FACT!
Since when is what you see in your dreams and pray for God to make happen a “fact” dear Sybil?
Lol! Rihanna tweeting inaccurate info is hilarious!
Music officially died today!
Rih, when your physical album sales start breaking other females records and sales, then you can get as cocky and arrogant as you want!
Her album sales are a joke.. Specially compared Beyonce, who outsold her discography with TROTW, Survivor and DIL alone..
CIARA’s “CIARA” JULY 9th 2013!
Not Ciara stans creating fake press releases saying shes expected to sell 125k in her first week. 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆
CIARA “CIARA” JULY 9th 2013!!
CIARA “CIARA” JULY 9th 2013!!!
where is B? she needs to come hard now, the music charts have been boring without her. come on :/ nobody knows what she’s waiting for….
AFTER ALL is said and done BOTH women are wining!!!!!!! RIHANNA is wining no matter how much this blog dislikes her. Rihanna can buy out That grapejuice but why have grape juice when you can have champagne sitting on Rocks. Rihanna is wining in life while yall mother is struggling to pay rent. Rih success is something like and Hard penis on v***** once shes up its gonna be hard to take down. Face it ppl shes clearly here to slay forever. Thats just the power she has. Same with bey
This is the business.
Stay>>>>>>>>Halo
Halo>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Stayl
This heaux really is delusional. She actually believed that tweet? Man the b**** feeds into her own hype. And if it wasnt for counting all the Youtube views and s*** towards sales now it wouldnt be s***. Stay is so basic. ‘Everytime’ shits all over this and I prefer Halo.
Well… seeing how these slow kids and young laughable stars think music started in 2005, of course Rihanna will think she has the best selling ballad by a black female in the USA. It would be good for her to learn that she´s only taking into account the cheap digital era though 🙂
Lol. The hive are trying to take attention away from the fact that Stay did outsell Halo by bringing up Whitney. #ThatHiveDesperationWontLetUp
Thanks to RIAA rule changes. Beyonce sold what she did without all the extra credits they are handing out now.
If you really think stay is better than Halo.. I really don’t consider you a Mariah Carey stan babe 🙂
Right. Since your opinion means so much to me….
I’m sure the Hive have logic… They’re not that stupid to be “pressed” about a $1 digital track suppostedly outselling another $1 digital track.
Beyonce’s career is too big for this foolishness, she has album sales, tour numbers, Box Office numbers, and earnings that Rihanna can only see in her dreams.
I HATE this bxtch!! kiiii
she is so shady!! #singlesartist…call me when this bxtch breaks a grammy record! 🙂 🙂 🙂
She can “reign” in the $1 digital tracks department as much as she wants.. Beyonce – the biggest and most successful Black female of the 21st century – remains unbothered with 65M+ albums and music DVDs sold…..something Rihanna is never seeing anytime soon
beyonce is not the biggest. Rih is . Rih is the biggest black women in other countries like the UK TOO. Beyonce has only sold 25 or so million albums . The f*** u mean, no one counts group sales.
No one counts group sales, but certainly Billboard – the biggest chart company in the world – do count them.
So again, Beyonce as the biggest and highest-selling female of the 21st century in the world has sold at least 65 million+ albums and music DVDs worldwide.
Black female*
Beyonce has sold 30 million albums ww with 4 solo albums
Congrats to her, btw, I love Fleetwood Mac.
WoW!!! It a studio track! Now, Tell Rihanna to Sing & tap dance at the sametime. Beyonce not bothered, worried, concerned or give to f****. Plus back then Singles was not big as they are now…Tell Rihanna to catch up on Ablum sales.
I’d like to know about her feeling after getting dropkicked from the top 10 on Forbes this year too…and having beyonce effortlessly make millions more than her
tbh..
probably around the same way bey felt when Rih was number 4 and beyonce was out the top 10 the year before.
Beyonces on her mind. Just like shes on everyone and their mamas. That mind control.
This is what I be saying . . . Nicki talked about it Billboard changed the rules so now digital singles every few units counts for record sales, too. So its unfair because when you compare someone ike Brandy who sold 17mil WW off an ALBUM of PHYSICAL COPIES! Do you think if you added singles tally she wouldnt be at about 75mil WW too? Rihanna has sold a lot of SINGLES, not a lot of albums thats why wikipedia has her at such a high ranking. I bet if you go back and count Ciara, Aaliyah, etc SINGLES (back before they were considered slaying in singles) today, songs like “Hot Like Fire” would be gold, 4 pg letter triple platinum, etc. JUST BECAUSE RIHANNA HAS ALL HER STATS ACCOUNTED FOR AND SOMEONE ELSE DOES NOT, DOES NOT MEAN THEY HAVE NOT SOLD MORE! Janet has millions of records that Bllboard does not even count because of the old BMG music clubs from the 80s and 90s that aren’t counted. units =/= ALBUMS! Donna and Whitney are counted as PHYSICAL ALBUMS SOLD WW! Not digital singles! Rihanna can not go head to head with either of them & never will! She would have to sell another 70mil with her next few records! NOT HAPPENING
That reign though…
*** Walks out, leaving Sybil on the floor dragged **
LOL LOL I take math is not taught in your ghetto country as it is in the USA.
DIL – 8 MILL
B DAY – 6 MILL
IAMSF – 7 MILL
4 – 2.1
THAT IS 23 MILLION ALBUM SOLD, MOST OF WHICH COME FROM JUST HER COUNTRY.
HA HA HA Where do u get 65 milliion albums from? Or are you adding her group sales? I guess Kelly rowland has sold over 60 million albums too.
Also, u said beyonce has proven she can play a stadium in the UK. No she has not, SHE HAS NEVER HEADLINED ANY UK history.
HA HA HA Ha WHAT little crappy sales for so called legend. HA HA HA HA
The 5th album – whenever that comes out will not even go platinum, it will flop worse than kanye etc. 4 sold 2.1 WW, but 1.3 came from the usa, so only 700k of that flop LP was sold WW. Watch the hew album sell even less in the USA AND WW.
Album 5 will not even sell a million and THERE WILL BE NO HITS.
4 sold 2.1 million? How when it sold over 1.3 million and over 650 k in the UK LMAO! 4 has sold 3 million worldwide.
Rihanna stays reaching as usual. Best selling black female ballad? The song will be forgotten in 2 years. When the digital age and new rules counts practically everything besides illegal downloads as sales what do you expect? Beyonce DID THAT with her ballad Halo minus all that.
beyonce is tired , same f***** lyrics of ridin with her man outlaws don’t care s***.
how f***** boring.
no wonder Rihanna is Outselling her old dry hits.
Haha she is really childish and pathetic.
but how come rihanna sells so much but her earnings are so dissappointing?? i still dont understand how come beyonce makes so much without a successful album…has rihanna ever earn around $80 mil or above within a year?? i do love both of them and i hv to thank rihanna for keeping me busy and entertained with unapologetic this year….i cant wait for beyonce new album..Rise up is such a nice song wish she cld hv just released it…….i love both of these women coz they inspire me to dream big but above all they make me proud to b AFRICAN. anybody from Southern Africa on this blog?
I’m surprised no one takes offense at her God comment. Apparently God is the one buying, watching, and sharing her s***** singles and videos not her sheeple fans. Not to mention is shows her ignorant arrogance. I guess millions of starving African children aren’t deserving of God’s “joy?” 9_9
If u buy all your items online, isnt it still a purchase? As long as an album is bout its a sale physical or digital. Digital allows a bigger outlet. All our technology is digital honestly most ppl have a music player on their phones or an iPod. Cd purchase for wat?
Well when Youtube views and streaming counts without needing to physically purchase its not surprising. TBH Rihanna needs to tone it down she comes across very basic with her bragging.
ROFLMAO@Rihanna retweeting incorrect info. about herself. What an airhead!
In the meantime, Beyonce’s greatest hits tour is still outselling Rihanna’s 666 Tour that half the time she don’t even bother to show up for…and Beyonce still has more endorsements…and Beyonce — this being the most important — remains considerably wealthier than Rihanna. Beyonce was largely inactive last year, while Rihanna was out in the field picking Roc Nations cotton, and still Bey earned more money than her. How’s that?!
LOL@people claiming that Rihanna is now the #1 black female star. Um, no. The #1 black female would be the one who can buy and sell the others…and records show that that ain’t Rihanna by a mother f*****’ long shot.
Enjoy your incorrect retweet Navy. It’s really all you got. LOL
This is so typical of TGJ! Why even bring Beyonce into this and go “Rihanna on beating Beyonce’s record” When Bey didn’t even hold the record Whitney did? That’s disrespectful to Whitney #1 and #2 Messy as all hell! Smh…
You Guys , She Retweeted that to P*** The Hive Off , they Spammed her Mentions and she thought about a shady Retweet. 😈
Rihanna is shady, deal with it.
I love her more and more each day i swear. 😀
Why would she want to do that? Isnt she supposed to be an adult.
If that was truly her motivation, then the joke’s on her. All it did was prompt The Hive to discredit her by pointing out the truth and then laugh.
see how good she is ?
She is making you Laugh while you are sad and miserable cuz beyonce didn’t make her album and keeping you alive via snippet-support.
LMAO! First there’s no record and it tere is a so called record LOL Leona Lewis Bleeding Love has sold 4.5 million the US. Also Alica Keys’ No One has sold More than Stay LMAO! FAILED. lmao!
Who cares about a single? The album that “Stay” is on has stalled at platinum, barely sold a million copies in the U.S. (and it’s WW sales ain’t nothing to gloat over either) and has fallen completely out of the top 60 on the Billboard 200 after less than a year, while other albums that were released before hers are still in the top 40 and are multi-platinum, or near it. Care to explain what’s happening there? Care to explain why out of seven albums, this tramp has only had one go multi-platinum, and that was only 2x platinum.
“That reign?” Where? Rihanna’s music career is akin to a shipment of cheap, knock-off sunglasses selling out at the dollar store.
Rihanna and her idiot fans like to celebrate the shallowest ‘victories’ (and in this case what you’re celebrating ain’t even true.) Oh to be born after 1992 and not know any better.
F*** outta here with that b*******, ain’t nobody impressed.
well let me explain, the song Stay sold more than halo beyonce and her sales continue to decline with each record release . as Rihanna out-sells beyonces biggest crossover hit.YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT BUSINESS or Math
Single Ladies has outsold all of Rihanna’s 40 singles.
Nope. We Found Love has outsold it. Single Ladies was a local hit. It has sold 5.1-5.2 million in The USA *WFL did 5.02* but it wasn’t huge worldwide like We Found Love which did 1.3 million in The UK alone, more than any BEY’s single there. Check certifications and you will see that WFL was bigger in all countries (SL did better in the USA but just couple of copies).
the record must be “Digital” sales, which is before Whitney’s time
F*ck digital sales. Far as I’m concerned, the only real single successes to note and laud are physical units. It’s a little too easy to push a button and have the song. 45/Cassette/CD singles > iTunes downloads.
Rofl..weren’t the navy saying bey was bitter about rihanna but it seems its the other way around. She really is coming for bey spot but remember this
As long as bey is alive she will always be #2
Not a BeYAWNce stan trying to clock someone for spreading false statistics.
Are you forgetting Bow Down? BeUglyonce started it but too scared to say names or release. Rihanna is getting payback from that Bow Down antic. Rihanna is killin the game at age 25. Rihanna Stay outsold Halo.Fact!
Make em bow down to their knees
Got a thing for a king but ya not a king
B**** I would die before I do a song with you
Stay just passed Beyonce’s Halo in digital sales.
She even shaded the HIVS. LMAO
anything and everything with this chick has to be compared to beyonce.. STOP. who cares.
I love Rihanna. shes amazing.
but still nobody can compare to beyonce. that b**** can sing live like no other.
and don’t start with beyonce lip synch the national anthem… she proved it the next time she sang it acapella. “Any questions” such a diva. <3
Hmmmm…..Digital sales? Not really impressed but congrats to her anyway…
Despite the records sold, Beyoncé actually is HUGE nowadays. For example Beyoncé superbowl, Beyoncé new album, Beyoncé grammys, Beyoncé Inauguration, Beyoncé most search person 2013 worldwide online, Beyonce crushing Itunes sales records with her new album, selling 617 000 records in three days….etc… Plus I actually think that , adding to Rihanna’s alcohol, love and drugs image, Rihanna is the artist most todays young people grew up with listening as teens, rather than children (Beyonce blew up around the beginning of 2000s). Ofc Bey has had albums and famous song after Rihanna became big…. But I think like I said, that teenagers relates more to Riri’s image (s**, drunk parties) than Bey’s grown woman – single ladies, female empowerment image. But with that said Beyonce is still considered on par with all other legends of our history, Rihanna is just Mainstream music, she: as a performer or artist as a whole can’t touch Beyoncé. Riri’s is also very known for the whole Chris Brown incident.
