    If all Rihanna had was a microphone, a stage and an instrumental she would be so confused. Thank god for Instagram

  21. Proud-Arianator June 23, 2014

    They just had to mention Rita Whora

  22. BeyIsKing June 23, 2014

    Smh Navy stay streaming while Unapologetic lies
    collecting dust on music store shelves.

    • Blue Ivy Carter-Rodriguez June 23, 2014

      Did BeyondFat sell more copies than UNA yet? No? Okay!

      *Use the Mrs Camel Tour DVD as a coaster**

  23. Unbiased June 23, 2014

    Lol.

  24. Realest June 23, 2014

    You would think 7albums in, vocally, Riri would be so much more advanced than she was on album #1…. She is not.

    • Tyler June 23, 2014

      Well look on the bright side, if she can no longer sing in the future…she always has modeling and social media to fall back on.

  25. HOTSTUFF June 23, 2014

    People who don’t take streaming seriously are ignorant. Y’all need to get with the times. We’re in a digital era. Streaming matters just as much as sales…. SLAY QUEEN FENTY.

    • Realest June 23, 2014

      Sales will always matter the most honey- no matter what time it is. You saying sales are equal to streaming is ignorant lol

    • I Stan For Myself June 23, 2014

      Bye!

    • GILBERTO June 23, 2014

      #BASIC B****** CHAPTER 1
      You know when you’re a DUMB B**** when…

      “People who don’t take streaming seriously are ignorant.”

      “Streaming matters just as much as sales”

      …A SIMPLE FACT proves you wrong.

      So are you saying that I can TUNE IN on Netflix to WATCH the PREMIERE of a movie like “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1” in the SAME SAY that it comes out on the THEATERS?

      The answer will remain UNANSWERED.

      How exactly does “streaming matters just as much as sales” work? I’m talking about REAL WORLD BUSSINESS, not IRRELEVANT charts that only bottom f*** stan for. When did streamings from Netflix become more important (aka making more money) than selling movie tickets? You should warn the whole entertainment industry for not seeing the obvious. They’ll probably make you CEO of the whole Hollywood. BYE!

  26. Tyler June 23, 2014

    The girl might not be able to hit a note or sing a lick but you can always count on her when it comes to putting cute outfits together.

  27. Guest June 23, 2014

    Good Job Rih.

  28. Kyle June 23, 2014

    SO MUCH SHADE. How you gonna have this record yet your sales are so BASIC. Im dying #BROKENAVY

  29. I Stan For Myself June 23, 2014

    Lol who cares about streaming though? Its sales that matter.

  30. Diabetes (DIABETIC SUGA COMA) UNBOTHERED June 23, 2014

    Its Been almost 2 yrs since UNAFLOPGETIC.

    If it wasnt for Bey her next album wuld be out already.

    waiting till Bee-season is over(?)…

    Very smart move Rih.

    • Blue Ivy Carter-Rodriguez June 23, 2014

      Girl… You need to put less effort in you drags and more energy into that workout at the gym. I know because is fat but at least her big ass could fit in a gravatar pic. Get it together! #AndIthankYou

  31. Revolution June 23, 2014

    This streaming title would be impressive if her sales backed it up. Instead it shows what a cheap artist Rihanna is. And her cheapskate fans should be ashamed.

  32. BeyonceBeyhive June 23, 2014

    LOL the most streamed female when no one actually gives a crap about BUYING her albums!!! It’s all about the singles and videos of her with no clothes on!!! It took her a year to sell Unafolpagetic in the US when it took Bey less than a month!!! And she’s also on the charts when the whole Beyhive have her new music videos yet it racks millions of views on VEVO!!!! Who the most certified artist of the 2000’s because of record sales??? Bey!!!

  33. BeyonceBeyhive June 23, 2014

    That’s *UnaFLOPagetic !!!

  34. Truth tea (take a sip) June 23, 2014

    not a stan but well done!
    A black woman slaying in a country like the UK is applaudable.

  35. Rihboy June 23, 2014

    Yasss! Its funny how the hive dont care because its streaming! Either waybthis means that those hive members are streaming low key aling with the navy lls. Streaming is important because it shows who people prefer to hear!! So for all of you saying it means nothing, it means plenty. Bey catch up

    • Rihboy June 23, 2014

      Along

    • GILBERTO June 23, 2014

      Beyoncé is on the list, isn’t she? We just don’t give a f*** about it. Get over it. When you stan for a HBIC, you don’t need to keep checking others valuing her status, you KNOW that she’s the B**** in charge.

  36. GILBERTO June 23, 2014

    I miss the time when “Of All Time” stood for DECADES, not a FEW YEARS. In this case, only 2 years. 2-mother-f******-years? Are they serious about this s***?

    P.S. This once again proves my point that R****** can’t afford anything over $1.

  37. metzo June 23, 2014

    Congratz to Rih (7 albums) and Bey (5 albums) for makng the list. Only black females too. Good for them.

  38. Kelvin June 23, 2014

    It’s funny how the beytards think streaming is irrelevant because rihanna is above Beyonce. Are u aware that artists and labels are paid for streaming? It’s just like selling records. She and her label would have made millions from her streaming.
    Also it’s funny how when u mention album sales with beyond and rih, it’s only the US u can mention. I can mention all the other big markets like UK, GERMANY, FRANCE CANADA AUSTRALIA because rihanna outsell Beyonce there. Hell she outsell Beyonce in every single country except US and Brazil. Also u mention tours are u aware that rihanna’s tour grossed slightly more on average than beyonce’s? If she decided to do as many dates as Beyonce, she would have outgrossed her and she could have if she wanted to because all her dates sold out. Also beyonce’s overhyped album is still yet to outsell unapologetic and prolly never would.
    Rihanna has taken over and everybody knows it. You beyhives are just too dumb to accept it. Rihanna beats Beyonce in youtube views, streaming, digital sales, radio play and even overall album sales and that’s without formerly being in a girl group or having a connected dad

    • Teacher June 23, 2014

      Yasssss bish yasssss!!!
      They don’t hear you tho! They got an excuse for EVERYTHING!

    • jamilaa June 23, 2014

      @kevin MUAH MUAH school them!

    • GILBERTO June 23, 2014

      How did you can wake up every day knowing that you’re faking-ass-lying-ass b****? Unlike you, I’m here to state facts based on REALITY, proved by reliable SOURCES. Because it’s easy to say this or that when you don’t prove it.

      “I can mention all the other big markets like UK, GERMANY, FRANCE CANADA AUSTRALIA because rihanna outsell Beyonce there.”
      So Rihanna needs 5 countries to do something that Beyoncé can do in a single one? DEAD. Which recent album of Rihanna outsold Beyoncé’s albums? I never heard of this.

      ” u mention tours are u aware that rihanna’s tour grossed slightly more on average than beyonce’s”
      Really? Like LIFE threw out your dreams of being beautiful and rich in a trash can, POLLSTAR simply smashed your face into the ground. According to POLLSTAR’s 2013 Year End World Tour:
      Beyoncé’s tour average gross per show was OVER 2.4kk. While Rihanna’s tour avarage gross was LESS than 1.9kk. I don’t see how exactly 1.9kk is higher than 2.4kk. No way, no how. And let’s not forget that Beyoncé had Pepsi and MasterCard sponsoring her tour from start to finish. Can we say the same to Rihanna’s? I don’t think so. She found a sponsor when the tour was almost over. LOL. Do I need to say from whom they took the money to pay the Diamonds tour cost?

      ” Also beyonce’s overhyped album is still yet to outsell unapologetic and prolly never would.”
      Beyoncé sold 3.5kk while UnaFLOPlogetic could only dream to sell that. Let’s not forget that the classic self-titled album is out at full price, which is expensiver than a regular release, since it was released while the irrelevant album was discounted the s*** out of it after a few weeks of its release. Ask Tesco if I’m lying.

      “Rihanna has taken over and everybody knows it.”
      I don’t know who are the PEOPLE you’ve hanging out, but they’re bunch of delusional-ghetto-ass b******. Beyoncé sells more album, tour tickets, have endorsements (REAL endorsements btw, not local brand that can’t even pay a f****** commercial – River S*** anyone?), more awards, more respect, more cultural impact.
      Do you know who’s Rihanna’s boss? You better know who he’s been sleeping with, b****. LOL. If Rihanna makes money, part of it goes to Blue Ivy’s college fund. That’s the only hint I can give you. LOL. BYE!

      “Rihanna beats Beyonce in youtube views, streaming, digital sales, radio play”
      She beats Beyoncé in everything as long as her fans don’t need to spend a cent on it. Thanks for this one! LOL.

      “overall album sales”
      B****, you’re so delusional. LMFAO. Beyoncé sold MORE albums. (And I don’t even need to put DC into this).

      • Blue Ivy Carter-Rodriguez June 23, 2014

        Pollstar only use stats from US. Your essay is void, like your paycheck. You must have paid your light bull today because you’re never online.

      • How Many Drinks (Miguels Wifey) June 23, 2014

        Lies. No they don’t. They get stays from all over. Come correct.

    • GILBERTO June 23, 2014

      @Blue Ivy Carter-Rodriguez

      “Pollstar only use stats from US.”

      Sorry? I don’t wake up ***flawless everyday to read things like this. You just reached a new lower.
      That’s the problem with the Beyoncé’s haters: they lack of intelligence as much as the lack of COMMON SENSE. There’s nothing wrong about being dumb. The problem is when you post things like that when you CAN’T prove them with good arguments (aka RELIABLE SOURCES). B****, you just MADE a completly WRONG reply based on the ideas that were brought directly from your ass. What’s the point?
      Where did you get that Pollstar’s 2013 WORLD WIDE TOUR is based on USA alone? I want an answer. Go ahead, make it, impress me b****.

  39. tee June 23, 2014

    ^^ what’s with the irrelevant essay you are shooting out your a** boo.you seem frustrated pls see a psychiatrist hun.

  40. Teacher June 23, 2014

    Had it not been for streaming Drunk In Love Would’ve NEVER seen the top 10! So BYE!

    • Rihboy June 23, 2014

      Exactly! What happened to all the songs that were suppose to chart.? How long are they going to cling to her us album sales, and the untraditional release. When will they realize that she will not have number 1 chart success from this here album?

  41. Rihboy June 23, 2014

    Yasss preach! Had bey been in third place, the hive would say she is winning and blah blah blah. But because it rihanna they cant give props, they have to make excuses for the slayage. Just accept the fact that when pandora, spotify, xm and all those other outlets are utilized, rihanna reigns supreme. Beytired is on her way back off of the charts, which she barely impacted lls. Anywho im so ready for r8 promotion!

  42. How Many Drinks (Miguels Wifey) June 23, 2014

    Rihanna slays at anything under $1.29 aka IG, Youtube, singles, spotify etc.
    This is NOTHING to brag about when not even half these people be buying her music.

    • Rihboy June 23, 2014

      Dont be delusional hun. People are buying her music. Either way the point your missing is that the masses want her.

      • How Many Drinks (Miguels Wifey) June 23, 2014

        B**** can you read? I didnt say no one was buying her music I said not even half the people streaming her are buying it. Now gtfo my point remains in tact and you stay mad that it aint nothing but the truth!

      • How Many Drinks (Miguels Wifey) June 23, 2014

        *over half

      • Rihboy June 23, 2014

        Nothing stays in tact. You tried to shade but you just seem pressed.

      • How Many Drinks (Miguels Wifey) June 24, 2014

        Honey. What doesn’t stay in tact? Where are the lies? Only one pressed is you replying to me for stating facts.

  43. LDN Chick June 23, 2014

    Lol. Arctic Junkies topped this list. So clearly its not of much importance.

  44. tits mcgee June 23, 2014

    Congrats to Rihanna, the real style Icon of her generation..

  45. Iggy/Licia Keys June 23, 2014
