In reply to Sandra.

"Self shade," my ass. That little couple hundred thousand divide between them in WW sales ain't shit. If she wanted, Beyonce could go on a 6 wk promo tour to close that insignificant gap. But she ain't pressed, so she's not bothering. The bottom line is that the US is the most important market and in the US, Bey has in 7 months DOUBLED what Rihanna has still failed to do in nearly 2 yrs. Rihanna hasn't seen an RIAA multiplatinum certification for an album in almost 10 YEARS! ROFLMAO! And the one she has is her ONLY one and its only 2x platinum (and that was back when albums were still selling.) The self shade here is that you're actually trying to brag on an almost 2 yr old album that has only sold about 200k more globally than an album that's only 8 months old, while the 8 month old album literally KICKED THE OTHERS ASS in America - THE MOST IMPORTANT territory. I'd rather be "Beyonce local" than "Rihanna global" because the latter aint sh*t!!! Anything else?
