Chiiiile pls
Her music career is over like Janets
Why you so pressed about Janet tho? Lls! She got you bothered, huh gyrl,
JABER’S CAREER IS OVER THOUGH. NO SLEEP IS CUTE, BUT IF YOU THINK THAT MIDTEMPO ISH IS GOING TO GET HER NAME OFF THE BLACKLIST, YOU NEED THERAPY. HER BEST SONG SINCE NIPPLEGATE, WAS FEEDBACK, AND THAT ALBUM WENT NO WHERE.
Sit please. Janet is selling out arenas off of presales with only one single released. So just stop.
If you don’t quit talking s*** about people’s careers being over. Janet no matter what will always have a career and is a legend, so keep talking. Rihanna I think needs one though
Sam, Some of those SHE’S the ft on so they r not her songs. Punk.
ur so fuxkin stupid… some of those features she carried as if she was the lead… bye bxtch
Singles sales are impressive. Albums sales well…
Stfu.
Make me, s***.
That was a palm tree of shade. Lmao…. ????????????
Queen Of Pop!!
Katy who?
Bey who?
Lady Gaga who?
I thought SOS would have been on there
I thought Diamonds sold more than that, but her album sales were always low to me especially considering how much impact her singles had. From the jump, her singles crossed over hard, especially Unfaithful. When I heard that song, that’s when I knew Rihanna would be somebody. That song and video got played the hell out. Still hate Umbrella and S&M. Thought Rude Boy was gonna flop tbh, was heavily surprised when it topped the charts.
Why are moo stans throwing unnecessary shade? When that fat bitchs whole discography this decade haven’t even outsold LOUD this era.
Moo stans don’t know their place in this decade
They should go back to the 90s.
They should be at the museum to check out the hasbeen collection
Perhaps, Rih should back to Barbados and find actual talent.
Rihannas best music videos:
1)where have you been
2)only girl
3)hard
4)disturbia
5)umbrella
6)sos
7)diamonds
8)what now
9) take a bow
10) can’t remember to forget you
So ur gonna include “Can’t remember..” and not “Stay” or “WFL”? Im so over u.. Off with its head
The fact that most of those albums were only active for a year is pretty impressive. And most were back to back.
.
I find it funny that people will call A Girl Like Me a flop, yet call The Evolution by Ciara a success, even tho both sold the same and came out the same year.
.
When Music Of The Sun sold more than Pink Print. Lol
The Pinkprint sold more tho. 631k>623k. N stop shading Nics best album, it hasnt even been out for a year
Hahahahahaha! 8K difference?! 1 million WW > 800K WW (And Music was only active less than 6 months BTW. 🙂
I absolutely adore “Take A Bow”. So, so many memories to that song. And, the whole GGGB era. That album was DIAMOND selling worthy imo… A pop masterpiece! FULL OF HITS.
US is not her biggest market album wise but her UK album sales are epic.
The fact that the Us is a 3rd and 4th of her sales shows how international she really is. She kick @ss in the UK.
6 Platinum albums and impressive single sales. Digital artist of all time. Her Worldwide sales are also impressive.
Rihanna has a great catalog of music. Very impressive! Her run between 2007 – 2012 was incredible. She joins the ranks of Mariah & Madonna in being a hit making machine. She’s the biggest GLOBAL selling SINGLES female pop star since MADONNA. That’s the true tea.
Digital Artist Of All Time.
Shocked SOS or Pon De Replay is not on the list, Rihanna has successful music every era anyway.
And #R8 era is coming along well,
‘
SANTIAGO unleashed a furor reminiscent caused by monsters like Madonna and U2, is being experienced at this time by Rihanna, singer debut next September 29 in the country.
So much so, that in just 30 minutes and had exceeded 10 thousand tickets sold for presentation at the National Stadium, following the opening of the sale at noon today.
The scenario was seen coming: From the morning the vicinity of the outlets (preferably located in Ripley stores) already had fans waiting for the opening of doors and ensuring their place in line, on a postcard that has been shared by social networks .
At this time, while the rows in the sales centers Puntoticket (distributed by ticket sales) continues, so we expect that the rate of release is maintained in the rest of the day.
Tickets for the highly anticipated first show in Chile of Rihanna, one of the figures missing from the local billboard, and trying to bring several production came from years ago have values that start at $ 32,000 gallery and reached $ 250,000 Pacific medium, figures to which must be added the service charge of ticketera.
Without this latter amount, they are now selling the Cariola Theater box office, located in San Diego street. The hours are there from 12:00 to 19:00.

She better ad some South American dates for #R8 tour, they obviously want her.
but SAM won’t tell you that.
I don’t know why more new artist take the rihanna blueprint and work your ass off to make it. as far as I can tell, only 1D has released as consecutively as rihanna and look at the good it’s done them. Only the hive would think having 7 albums in 10 years is lame
Beyoncé can’t do it and shouldn’t. Say what ya want, but all of Beyoncé albums sounds different. Plus she have an old contract, that’s why she can take her time and tour in between albums, because she keep all of her tour money. 1D is getting paid dust. I’m not sure what deal Rihanna had, but her name was on some of her hits, and she was executive producer on all her albums after GGGB. Given her a higher percentage off the albums.
True Tea.
Here is an updated report,
‘
Rihanna SMASHES Chile and sells +30000 tickets in 5 hours
‘
Rihanna dispatched 30 000 tickets in five hours and adds to the list of local landmarks The singer might close its first day of sale with more than 40 000 tickets released, so the closer to the records in Chile boast names like U2, Madonna and Lollapalooza.
‘
SANTIAGO So far the list included events like the U2 concert in 2006, Madonna’s visit in 2008, and the latest sales green Lollapalooza, but from the ranks of today shows that more tickets have been shipped in its first Sales hours will have to make room for another star Rihanna.
‘
This presentation because the singer of “Umbrella” offered next September 29 at the National Stadium has already sold more than 30 thousand tickets in just five hours, materializing an anxiety that was felt from the moment of its announcement.
‘
But if in those first days of May impatience flowed only in social networks, this day Monday reached the point of commercialization, where the Barbadian fans even camped in order to insure your ticket at 12:00, at which time sale began.
‘
Thus, in less than half an hour were dispatched and 10 thousand tickets , while from the producer Transistor are confident to close the day with at least 40 000 tickets sold.
‘
The figure would put the show Rihanna in the lead among the most tickets sold in its first day, but anyway far from the record that shows the latest edition of Lollapalooza, which at its output “Green” got 55 000 dispatch fertilizers .
‘
Then follows U2 over “Vertigo Tour” by the same National in 2006, show that in its first day sold 53 thousand tickets. The penultimate Lollapalooza, meanwhile, managed to sell in 2013 the sum of 50 000 credits, same amount of tickets in 2008 dispatched Madonna, facing his first visit.
‘
With more bulky figures, then, the singer of “We Found Love” maintains a trend that has occurred this year in the local billboard , despite the general decline that calculate the producers: The fast ticket in the early hours in ticketera.
‘
Has experienced Queen (4000 tickets in 12 hours), Blur (two thousand tickets in five hours) and Ed Sheeran (five thousand tickets in five hours) in a continuum that also has the likes of Katy Perry and Pearl Jam, who They have practically exhausted their shows in October and November, respectively.

Chile loves Rihanna.
At only 27, she already have a larger catalog to tour off of than artist twice her age. She should really work on her LIVE performances, cause tours is where the money is. But I think Rihanna hates touring.
True. In fact, I think she should do 50 to 60 shows MAX, and then release a Live DvD/Cd for the rest of the fans. Because it seems that the travelling gets to her and gets to her bad, she starts partying too much, losing weight and arriving 3hours late then giving a less than standard show. She must just have a very good production to run once in 50 major cities in the world, 10 in the London because UK loves her more.
I see many comments but im not in the mood
.
oh and I don’t use that garbage biatch rihnavy/slayonve . she once came at me on a tranet post and now we got bad blood
.
now let me check the stats up and they better match Fàgturion’s trolling stats lately or else I’m setting bush fires to its tribe’s huts and goats
OH GOD. NOT THE “ENGINEER” COMING OUT OF THE TENT THIS MORNING TO COMMENT ON RIHANNA. YOU’RE SUCH A SICK F***. GO CHASE YOUR HEARD & LEAVE. NO ONE WANTS YOUR F** ASS HERE.
Not Rihanna almost filling a stadium without an album out.
THIS POST IS ABOUT TO BECOME A KI. ANYWHO, I HAD NO IDEA THAT WFL & DISTURBIA SOLD THAT MUCH. QUEEN & ICON. RIHANNA = THE QUEEN OF THE WORLD!!!!!!
Sam I thought ur gay ass already made enough coinage for rent for two months with the @Rihnavy draggings of the past few days.. This attempt at starting a stan war is lousy.
Yes Mark111, all those hits has Rihanna filling stadiums with no new music out.
Comment deleted. Racism will not be tolerated.
BC THEY LIKE TO DRAG & FISH, SO TAKE THE BAIT CATFISH. KIII
Stop yelling, h**. And, I see you like stalking my twitter page. Hey fan.
B**** NO STALKS YOUR FAKE ASS ON TWITTER. EVERYONE ON HERE HAS SEEN YOUR MELT DOWN AND BREAKDOWN. WHO HASN’T CLOCKED YOUR FAKE ASS?
Once again, stop yelling. And, I’m an emotional human. My breakdowns were iconic. Glad you remembered them, fan. Oh, and keep stalking my tweets. 🙂
CHILE BYE. DON’T GET EXPOSED.
Exposed about what? That fact that I catfished Slayriah? Lol, that’s already a known fact. And, stop yelling. Calm down & take a few deep breaths. It’s not that serious, FAN. 🙂
Deleted my comment, David? It was the truth. Ah well… I’m not sorry.
7 of her top ten best selling singles have features #majah #braaahp #kweeen
.
dead at 80% her albums being cursed around 1million
.
.
but congrats at selling those millions non the less, there are many artists who have not done this #kudos
You sound mad LMAO
All I see are millions! Also, when it pertains to album sales, many forget the state of the economy from 2007-2010 in the US. NO ONE had massive album sales. Rihanna is the only major artist to have survived that time. Albums just started selling again in 2012. If Rihanna doesn’t release her album on Tidal, she will easily sell 500K her first week especially with the global anticipation of R8
What kind of lies? Albums keep decreasing. It wasn´t better after 2012 than in 2007 hun. LOL Truth is she never got massive sales or impressive first week sales. Never. And it seems it won´t happen at all. From 2005 and on some albums still became monster hits. Truth is Rihanna could have done so much better if taken seriously and if she were more talented 🙂
awwww one comment and the gravatarless flop salvation army races off her child grant queue to queue for my attention
.
what a muppet
.
what an r8 mess
.
what an Atlanta (slums ) Oxygen mess
How much has R8 sold? How much have FourFiveFlop, American sulphure oxide, and Bittch I’m Broke sold?
why is resident kalahari desert posting essays?
.
aint nobody reading that shít
.
She has worked so hard she deserves all the success she is getting. This is still one of my fav Rihanna songs
https://youtu.be/zGO0Au_aQQY
I love this song. And, “Te Amo”.
Cold Case Love will forever be in my top 10 for best songs by Rihanna. I would have loved to see an extended video for this song
CLEARLY YOU WANTED THE NAVY’S ATTENTION. THAT’S WHY YOU ARE HERE. STFU AND GO BACK TO YOUR TREEHOUSE. NO ONE WANTS YOU HERE.
YASSSS RIHANNA THOSE ALBUM SALES ARE SLAAAAYAGE…loooooool.
fat fingered pressed biatch, why is you lamenting?
.
why yo fat fingers steam pressed against your telefunken phone qwerty keyboard?
Her US sales are impressive, and more or less consistent. She’s a global superstar and she thrives on a global platform.
BÎTCH BETTER HAVE MY RELEASE DATE
I’m waiting for the music video for BBHMM! She better not troll like godga did with the DWUW music video too.
She needs to get off of tidal omg
If Tidal have its way it will sink the Navy’s ship
This is my favorite live performance of this song. It makes me so emotional. Love the way she was singing this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKLvvZ9Zxf0
funny to me how the navy claims that 4 is a flop, but it has outsold all of Rihanna albums except GGGB and Loud.
KII. 3 MIL WW <<<< 3.5+ MILL WW. I C U DROPPED OUT THE SAME TIME BEYONCÈ DID. LOL
bîtch better learn to sell past 1 million range
Slant eyed > purple d***
Nah, this one slays that performance
https://youtu.be/rSE2SOjDCN0
Ughh, Another Rihdundant post from David! *goes back to sleep*.
Redundant must be a word the barfs are used to with nicki’s album titles. Next will be: the naked pink truth, the pink slip, my hot pink, the pink panther, the pink puss
LOOK AT HIS PUNK ASS TYPING AS FAST AS HIS PAWS WILL LET HIM. SUCH A SAD OVERSEAS M*****. SWINGING TREE FROM TREE JUST TO GET SERVICE ON HIS LITTLE METRO PCS HIS PEN PAL BUDDY DONATED. SMH.
I still wonder how big names like Beyoncé and Rihanna have such low album sales. Adele comes to mind when the excuse of the digital era pops up.
Expecially, with Beyonce. I mean, there is no reason as to why “Dangerously In Love” (which was released in 2003)… Is still stalled at 4.9 million in America. I just think people would rather buy their singles… Instead of their body of work tbh.
I mean, every artist today seems big but can’t sell a 20 million album ww, that’s why i mentioned Adele, she’s the only artist of this generation who can really be compared to some legendary artists, the rest are just famous IMO.
Rihanna & Beyonce are powerful names. With success under their belt… But, they just can’t seem to shift 20,000,000+ albums WW. Hell, they can’t even shift 10,000,000+ WW. But, they’re still some of the biggest names in music. This is the singles era… People just don’t sell albums no more. Only, Adele & Taylor can. 🙁
Adele has a lot to live up to next go around. She could be a Hill, Jones and other One big album and never seen again artist.
She’s gonna sell 10,000,000+ next go round… Off of HYPE alone. I guarantee you that.
It doesn’t matter, big names like Rihanna should have at least one album in the “Best Selling Albums of All Time” list.
That’s a lot of records. Any artist now would kill for that career.
She’s got to take it to the next level now, she seems stalled.
Records? Where? Do those album sales scream record to you? LOL
Looking at her album & single stats you can tell that her US fans are mostly teenagers early twenties.
Q: since the salvation army likes talking sales
.
did American Helium outsell Ciara’s Jackie?
.
I remember it selling 20k and diving for position 5000 on every chart known to mankind
It sold more than pretty hurts
At least helium is non toxic. Jackie was a body of art,American monoxide has been the deadliest since disturbed and love the way emiñ3m makes me relevant
And Journals is still a FLOP

Fantasy Ride – 400.000
Basic Instict – 175.000

The lies! lol
The Evo is at 1.5 million at the most! Flop Ride isn’t passed 200K, all the albums after aren’t passed 150K.
Not this ashy unemployment no anâl walls having cadaverous homosexual tribal m***** from the slums of Johannesburg, living of government welfare checks in its luxury 1 room African shack talking about me.

Diarrhea, why you always talking about me when I pay you more dust than the Saharan desert? Your Nigerian s**** master must’ve given you a day off I see.
Ama dro0 this on you real quick. You are quick to throw shade at someone for living in Nigeria when it provides the minerals y’all need to breathe. Its funny when people use those type ofworn out drags. DDoesn’t your first world ccountries solve violence in other countries “code for steal their oil,and supply them with weapons to hurt each other while trying to figureout how to rob them more” ddon’t come for Africa or Asia when the provide you with your mminerals. You depend on them for even the cars you drive. They mine it and grow it and you reep. They don’t need you,you need them and when they realise the truth now more food or minerals for u. Y’all would eat the only element you produce,Sulfur.
I never read your comments or those from non-factors troll phags who lack avatars. Do yourself a favor and stop replying to me. You been at it for months and this is the first time I acknowledge your presence.
*unemployed
Rihanna is no doubts force to be reckoned with. She’s created a lane and she dominates it.
I can imagine Rihanna singing this song:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wG5ilt3Hrt4
I can’t.
DEAD.
This is like that back of a funeral programme where they write about the belated persons achievements cause they know its over
I’ve been obsessed with this song.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1ms8cdR1ew
This used to come on the radio all the time and I didn’t know it was her for a while. A good year.
@Stephy
Racist, lol.
Guess, that makes 2 of us… 🙂
No, you crazy.
True.
Waits for LB to keep writing the same tired drag that it keeps re using. I mean it just a force of habit, I bet they provide the same herpse check results from 10 years back even tho it is a different state right now
Well maybe if you stopped throwing shade here and helped Journals cross the 500K mark WORLDWIDE, I wouldn’t have to use that drag.
It will take half a decade and that’s less than your prematurely balding and retiring fav love. I get it tho,I have more in my bag of shades and you keep pulling out the same ,just like your fav until she decided to own her masters and faded. I guess don’t go chasing waterfalls
Do you also have copies of Journals in that bag of yours by any chance? You hoarding and it’s not going to even cross the 300K mark
Hording lol isn’t that what you fav is doing with Released late or R8 or Rlate. Whatever its called. Justin’s nail polish sold quiet well actually and so does his merchandize. In fact last week I bought plenty merch and I was lucky to get any. Besides music your fav a flop. Deal ho
The lyrics, melody, harmonies & overall production is amazing. Her head notes are underrated too.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTYxr-xZxIA
I used to have a huge crush on her back in the day, she was one of the most beautiful girls i’ve ever seen, that smile 🙂
Ella era inteligente, talentosa y hermosa. Su alma era pura también.
Te mereces unos besitos por esas palabras.
Cariño, merece más que algunos besos. Y, dejar de lado el odio que tiene para MJ.
I don’t hate him.
Bye to the island girl who fell from her spaceship into a coconut tree. Her fashion line will flop but who is to say it won’t. Look at this girl lol.
Hang it up flat screen. F*** I look like getting back to a hasbeen-nicki voice
bîatches stuck up on trying to be smart by searching fancy words on a dictionary than to pay attention on a basic word spelling
.
how can a person be unemployment?
.
I’ve forever doubdet these african tribal education it gets under its village tree classroom
The island girl also didn’t flop on her 4th album. 6 platinum albums, is Mzz Beiber going to get that?
Smiles. I love where this is going. Now let’s pull out first week sales for my world and Music of a flop. Lol. She didn’t flop on her tired but her first and second define flop.
How about the first week sales of Journals, can you pull those up, Billboard didn’t report them.
And on another note,weren’t the navy dragging Bey and saying she is a s**** who doesn’town her masters? Well your fav has only three songs. These belong to her strings controller. Rihnoccio is a puppet and has 0 hits to her name besides the once Chris gave her to make her career
Rihanna also has albums that have sold more than 1 million in the US, Journals hasn’t even sold 10% of that.
Hey @Steph, have you ever heard this unreleased track? Her, Missy and Tweet sounded so smooth together.
.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FT7bZWjF9mU
Oh, you know I have. This song knocks. I’ve been obsessing over her & Janet’s catalog this past week. My fav song from Aaliyah is “I Care For You”… That song gives me chills tbh…
With the hype and publicity alone you would think Rihanna’s sales would be mind blowing after a decade but her sales seem average compared to some of her contemporaries. Nonetheless she has become one of the queens of this mediocre generation.
FLOP
She has 6 plat albums so I dont even understand why ppl r talkin s***.
Rihanna done abandoned the Navy. She took you folks money and said peace I’m out. Lol!
Taylor swift spends her 4th week at number 2 on the billboard chart for her album 1989 , in its 34th week on the list.
I been following rihs career since sos and unfathful and always saw her as “beyonce-lite” and still do. Thats not good enough any more the bar has been raised all her hits and efforts have become so blah over the years especially pre-talk that talk all sounds blah. Her best video is where have you been best song to date is Stay. Why is she still playing 2nd fiddle to a 30 sumthin r&b artist that hast had a ww hit since 2008?
The DREAMGIRLS soundtrack went #1 and sold 2 million in the us. thats more than all rihs albums minus gggb With 3 flop very OFFICIal singles r8 will be lucky to do sun numbers.
B**** is that you on your av? Youa ugly cúnt.
lol here. this’ like a recap of greatest hits post after that career end was mentioned yesterday?!? is that too obviously “hidden” in there?!? could tip the 8 (R∞) to greatest hits. genious. cause… how many tanks further… ?!? will there be… ?!?
That’s right ugly niğğas. She is THAT global QUEEN. The minute she will drop #R8 the world will go nuts!
Her sales slay! Especially those single sales. I want to see an update on her worldwide numbers though
KIIII! Not me leaving for only a few hours and my name already being mentioned in this post ????????????. I love my fans.
???????????????? I’m not impressed at all. How do you have so many billboard hits but your albums barely scan platinum?? 4 even went platinum easily, without a top ten hit. She knew if she released this album after all of these flop singles, she would have struggled to scan dust.???? Especially since her Mcsingle sales are more impressive and now she can’t even sell those. #R.I.P
.
No wonder the banana boats are so bitter lately! ????
NOT BANANA BOATS! LMFAOOOO! And they fail to realize that she’s JUST a single artist. She doesn’t do bodies of work to get the critical acclaim that someone who’s 10 years into the game, should be getting. But I’m sleep though.
4 went plat in 1-2 months with not 1 hit una took 1 whole yer to achieve this witth 3 hits.
Beys last album sold more in 2 1/2 days (600k) than ALLLL rihs 1st week sales combined.
Someone will claim anything then it turn out not to be true
Wait….. As of June 2010, GOODIES had sold 2.7 million copies in the United States….. 2010!!!!!
–
Rihs album sales are NOT as impressive as some would try to throw out there, Single sales slaying…. But chawl…
If GGGB is her best selling album, GOODIES still outsold it in the US…. WW GGGB slayed… Yet GOODIES was a Debut album. Im surprised not one of Rihs albums have outsold it in the us alone yet…
