Rihanna‘s fast food recipe continues to work wonders.

One look at the sales of ‘ANTI’ prove that her attempt at brewing a fine wine were fatally futile.

However, the Bajan sensation had a trick up her sleeve in the form of Calvin Harris‘ new single ‘This Is What You Came For.’

The model provides heavily altered vocals for the track, which is slaying out of the gate.

Moments ago, the high-octane cut climbed to #1 on US iTunes.

In doing so, it knocked Beyonce’s ‘Formation’ into the #2 spot.

The ‘Lemonade’ song had a strong hold on the top spot for much of the week and led a Beyonce invasion on the chart. As at writing four songs from the LP remain in the top 10 tally.

As for Rih, gags aside, this clearly highlights the lane she should be playing in. Light, bright, and lifted straight from the production line.

For her sake, ‘R9’ is better off sounding more ‘Loud’ than any of her more recent attempts at dark divadom.

      • dingaz April 30, 2016

        and there are other songs on #Lemonade that could have been #1 and it isnt so, formation didnt had to be #1 for a week it could have been sorry, or hold up etc etc ,#LameExcuse

      • lol April 30, 2016

        😆 even with a fake divorce rumor…stil. 😆

      • Sweaterz April 30, 2016

        Rihanna belongs to #1.
        Let’s send Queen of Top 40 back to where she belongs. 🙂

    • Alex April 30, 2016

      Its crazy to see certain people only comment when they THINK Beyoncé is failing! Y’all just don’t want her to win huh??? ANTIFREEZE is OVER!!! DEAL WITH IT!!!!! ????????????

      • Ihaterihanna April 30, 2016

        They talking about iTunes and s***. Anyone can get #1 on iTunes but the Hot 100 is where it counts. When a. Itch tops that’s then it’s something to brag about.

        Let’s go Limeade! ?????

      • Love April 30, 2016

        I don’t think Rihanna have any problem being #1 on the billboard seeing how she have 14 #1 more then y’all so call queen ???

    • Kae April 30, 2016

      You have to remember Calvin Harris has Taylor swift fans and these white girls worship Taylor.
      It’s a good song though pretty catchy.

  2. Special agent of the Beygency April 30, 2016

    Oh she’s a feature…. It’s not her song….. Makes sense… Good for her, doing what she does best sell singles….

  3. Nicki Minaj thee ONLY QB April 30, 2016

    Bye Theifyonce
    HA! ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

  4. Rated R April 30, 2016

    TGJ why do y’all hate ANTI sooooo much because she wanted to make a different body of work than her previous albums, even though you might not like a certain artists album there is a certain level of respect that should be there when talking about their music. So you say the campaign was messy, ok – she is not the first nor the last artist to have messy campaign b*** does that give you the right to discredit their work , No . When do you say enough is enough

  5. Lea April 30, 2016

    That’s right that gul needs to bounce her ass right on over where she belongs which is out of the top 10! She can’t sit with RihRih or anyone else who gets #1 singles! And who names an album after a drink? Like seriously, “Lemonade”?! Guh i tell ya…Anyways she tried it with this tired (Khia Voice) lame attempt of an album. Khia dragged her, Serena and everyone else who participated in this trash.

    • norosy3 April 30, 2016

      Lawd the pr is dying already this piece of news made my day bey had a song with Chris Martin where the hell is it bey hives drake coming for the album spot too lemonade need some sugar it’s ready to die a slow death

  6. Suxmycockiness =O April 30, 2016

    Yaasss…I absolutely love this song! It’s over when I hear this in the club!?

  7. #JACKIE April 30, 2016

    This song sucks and sounds like something that should have been left in 2010. #Generichanna

    • coockiness April 30, 2016

      just like C-error

  8. King Mark111 /.\ April 30, 2016

    The fact that non of Drake’s songs topped it is funny. Bug Juice hype last a weekend and Dues is dead in a day. ?

    • Rw April 30, 2016

      Drake songs are album only ??

      • King Mark111 /.\ April 30, 2016

        Oh, ok. I was wondering because I know it’s Apple exclusive. Thanks.

    • Lea April 30, 2016

      @Mark, lil girl do you even have an iTunes account?

      • King Mark111 /.\ April 30, 2016

  11. B2B April 30, 2016

    Yay FORMATION slaying iTunes!! How? A whole week at #1 after being free for months? Now it’s time to keep HOLD UP and SORRY in top 10.

  12. M El April 30, 2016

    Queen Rihanna,do it bish???????

  13. B_Roni April 30, 2016

    I like this song. It’s feels good when it’s sunny and the weather is just right. Also the reason the song has little priductioni A because they leave it open for all the remixes to occur which is why we found love and work did what it did. The amount of summer remixes may take this number 1 .

  14. #JACKIE April 30, 2016

    But where’s Needed Sales and Flop It Better?

    • Lea April 30, 2016

      Lol gul Ciara though, smh!

    • Love April 30, 2016

      S** With Me #182

      Rihanna has 5 singles in the iTunes chart… when has your fave EVER?

      • Alex April 30, 2016

        @freshnavi The rest of Beyoncé’s songs are SLAYING Rihanna. And by the way that #1 she has is NOT hers. It’s Calvin’s. I see she can’t survive without a COLUMBIA artist!! Now that’s some LEMONADE for your ass!!! ??????

    • Lea April 30, 2016

      @Jacket, lil girl didn’t Rih have Ciara black listed after that Fashion Police interview? Oooops! That’s what she got for being unprofessional and talking slick!

  15. Terny April 30, 2016

    Sam this is getting tiring.. ???

  16. UPGRADEBOY April 30, 2016

    Nothing to bragg about when it take more than 24hours for this crap to top formation which was a free song during almost 3months, lets wait these hot 100 entries and lets see whos gonna have thé last laugh

    • T April 30, 2016

      Exactly it took this song forever to top formation and the navy acting like lemonade didn’t just outsell anti in 3 days without a phone deal or streaming and it cost $20! The navy is so pathetic they will cling to anyone and celebrate any little achievement at this point lmao.

      • Fresh Navi April 30, 2016

        LOOOOOL. EXCUSES EXCUSES

        Anyone can get to number one on iTunes.

        When Fossil gets a #1 on the BBHOT100
        @ me b****.

        BUT FOR NOW…
        PANDA PANDA PAND!

        RIhanna has been #1 for the past 9 months… the peasants(fossil) should know how it feels to be number one too!

  17. cocobutta April 30, 2016

    Lord the black artist domination of there is the real life given ✊.

  18. The Realest April 30, 2016

    This site’s Unprofessionalism has definitely turned off Rihanna of course from ever doing anything with them. But even worse, I have an industry friend who says other artists are now turned off as well by seeing how they treat Rihanna.

    • Lea April 30, 2016

      It wouldn’t have mattered either way had they respected her or not. Lmfaooo! Her, Mariah and even their so called queen wasp will never give this blog the time of day. Gul maybe somebody on their team will ask a few questions!

    • ilovemusic April 30, 2016

      Lol this site is not for these celebrities its for these redundant ass stans. There could be a post about a stuffed animal and it’ll turn into a Rih vs. Bey stan war. And the people who run it are all either Beyhive or closet Beyhive. They do Beyonce no justice. Most of the people I talk to especially Navi say they actually like her music they just hate her stans (such a dumb ass word.). And the Rihanna hate is so real. Thats why I barely come to this site especially when it pertains to Rih. They try to drag her name. This site is one of the reasons that there are still stan wars. If they removed that comment section, and from this site and got rid of the biased bloggers this site would actually be good.I like the other news that they post. But when it comes to Rih, and these “stans” this site is garbage.

      • jamon April 30, 2016

        Amen!! They cater to little kids. They could post something about the presidential election and somehow these stans with make it about Anti vs Lemonade

  19. JustineSkyeLOVESRihannaV32 April 30, 2016

    Beyblade Can’t Manage Two Bigger Stars At Once, So It Was Expected. SCREEEEAAAAMMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  20. King B April 30, 2016

    So, her highest charting singles after owning her masters are FFS, Work and this,which features male singers?

    • T April 30, 2016

      How many more male artists are she going to cling too? I thought she sells alone according to the navy. They’re the biggest hypocrites. When formation went #1 they said iTunes didn’t matter only billboard does. Now they singing a different tune. I can not!!!! Lmao so much laughter this week.

      • King B April 30, 2016

        I’m still surprise her singles are doing so well. But as long as her album is number one with more than 300k, everything else does not matter.

      • Rihboy April 30, 2016

        Formation is the highlight of the album. That’s what happened. They listened and those who chose songs instead of buying the whole album purchased the best songs. Which like I already knew! Hold up and sorry would lead the album. It was a shocker too see formation go to number 1. But props where it due. It served its three day purpose at the top. I believe Kesha and zed are coming up for the top spot! Furthermore let Beyoncé enjoy her success of a number 1 album. You guys are so anti Rihanna that you can’t let her dominate the singles chart which is what she does! Yes calvins production. But undoubtedly carried by Rihanna’s minimal appearance. The vocals are sleek and altered to fit the style of the song. It’s a bop no matter what, and will do well bringing the warm weather. Congrats too both Beyoncé and Rihanna. Oh and Drake too! He needs to open the album to see where too good would place. I’m sure the aubrih fans would allow it too reach number 1 as well.

  21. King B April 30, 2016

    It takes so long to topple Beyoncé’s free, buzz single.

  22. IStan4Rihanna. April 30, 2016

    Why do people keep saying that “Formation” is going to chart at #1, let alone the Top 5. Do any of you have any idea of how the charts are calculated anf stipulated in 2016? The charts are not managed solely by digital sales anymore and a #1 song on Itunes, unless that particular track happens to sell upaward of 500K+ copies, is not an indicator of a high charting position – streaming is the largest component followed by airplay points and ‘Formation’ has neither. Nonetheless, I’ve considered all factors and metrics and this should be this week’s top 20:

    .

    1. Panda 451 (=)
    2. One Dance 432 (+1)
    3. Purple Rain 362 (+14)
    4. 7 Years 359 (-2)
    5. Work 288 (-1)
    6. I Took A Pill In Ibiza 285 (-1)
    7. Work From Home 277 (-1)
    8. NEEDED ME 266 (+12)
    9. Pillow Talk 259 (-2)
    10. FORMATION 254 (DEBUT)
    11. NO 246 (-4)
    12. Love Yourself 226 (-3)
    13. Don’t Let Me Down 217 (+1)
    14. Cake By The Ocean 203 (-3)
    15. Me, Myself & I 201 (-5)
    16. Stressed Out 200 (-3)
    17. Little Red Corvette 195 (+12)
    18. My House 195 (-6)
    19. Dangerous Woman 187 (-4)
    20. Pillow Talk 186 (-3)

    .

    Congrats. Rih. and especially Bey. with a 3 month old song. 🙂

    • King B April 30, 2016

      I don’t think it will debut at top 10, no streaming points.

      • IStan4Rihanna. April 30, 2016

        It’s predicted to have sold between 225K – 275K copies this week and that is certainly enough for a Top 15 debut minus streaming and airplay – at most it will debut within the Top 9 – 11 region but all accounts point to the #10 position. 🙂

      • King B April 30, 2016

        I really wish it could debut top 5 or higher. But even Bey pay it dust, I mean she doesn’t even bother to upload the video on Vevo, so I guess we shud ignore it too. Sad that she haven’t announce the single too, its been a week.

      • King B April 30, 2016

        @istan4rihanna

      • IStan4Rihanna. April 30, 2016

        By all means, considering its reception now, if Beyonce had released the song to all digital and streaming platforms right after the ‘Superbowl’ it just may have become her 6th #1 single. If there’s one thing of which does irritate me about Beyoncé, it would be her account for self-sabotage – she has the potential to be much bigger in certain areas but she doesn’t always market herself properly anymore especially with single releases.
        .
        If she releases ‘Formation’ to streaming platforms soon, it will inevitably rise higher on the Hot 100 as time goes by but, right now, digital sales only account for a smaller metric of chart success – streaming is the sole provider. It can still gain in airplay points however so you never know… 🙂

    • SoFresh April 30, 2016

      I love how u Stan for Rihanna but still give respect to Bey. I love both ladies. Thank u for showing respect to Bey and being REAL.

  23. Keri Qween April 30, 2016

    …told yaaaaa

    “How is a song that was free blocking it” kiiiii it took 24 hours

    Hot 100 QWEEN

    • King B April 30, 2016

      Beyonce could debut with 500 copies and still sold more than Keri. Where’s Keri’s album? She’s scared the BeyHive gonna throw her own CD at her face this time?

  24. Nicky April 30, 2016

    But why didn’t Beyoncé other songs with videos shoot to #1. Lmfaoooooo

    Did 122 million people from Super Bowl download formation for free . Lmfaoooooo!!!!!!

    Lame excuses.

    • Rw April 30, 2016

      What songs with videos?

      • Lea April 30, 2016

        @RW, lil girl it’s a Visual Album damn, smh!

  25. Minajesty April 30, 2016

    Congrats to her.
    Still think it’s a terrible song tho.
    It’s sad that people only pay attention when you release generic hits but pay you dust when you release a great body of work.

    • T April 30, 2016

      Not true. Look at lemonade sales. And that album is $18 and only had 4 days of sales. People still buy certain artists whole body of work. Rihanna just isn’t one of those artists lol. For some reason people will only spend $1.29 on her. I don’t get why the navy has the nerve to try to compare her to bey.

      • Rihboy April 30, 2016

        No you guys compare! Plus Rihanna’s has several platinum. Albums people actually do spend more than 1.29 on her. Furthermore going to number one on the singles chart shows success of whatever is on the album. Mass appeal. Self titled only had drunk in love and that only debuted at number 2. So despite her album selling rapidly of the premise of a surprise album gimmic after hiatus. She failed to deliver on the single aspect. You guys talk down on the singles chart but I’m sure has Beyoncé gotten another number 1songs you guys would praise it. i mean Taylor swift outsells bey and her singles all debut mostly at 1. But you guys won’t compare her to Taylor. You rather compare her to Rih because you know you can use the stale overplayed album accolade. Grow up. At the end of the day you ain’t gaining nothing from being bitter?

  26. Nicky April 30, 2016

    A song performed for 122 million people being released should at least sell 1 million since 1 million tidal subscribers got it free

    Lmfaooooo!!!!!!!!!

  27. Indie April 30, 2016

    It’s just a no win situation as far Rihanna is concerned on TGJ, if she did;t get to no.1 she would have been dissed as second to Beyonce and now that she has it’s because she is apparenty generic! You keep on riding that “Anti is a flop” train when the albums first single was no.1 for 9 weeks, the tour is sold out all over the globe, you reported the album was almost at no.1 AGAIN last week, it’s just so hypocritical it’s unreal! Beyonce got to no.1 with Coldplay on an indie pop song and on another pop track with Naughty Boy on RUNNING, there was no shade there, ANTI is a brilliant album and if you look at all the sell out shows the fans know all the words to the new songs as it’s some of her best work! Well done Rihanna for knowing how to make great music

    • TheBeysusImpact April 30, 2016

      None of her shows are sold out and Lemonade has more critical acclaim and sold more than 460 copies in the first week. You mad, bro? ?????????????????

      • Blue Ivy Rod April 30, 2016

        I’m sorry but who cares. Enjoy the music

    • Rw April 30, 2016

      The song is generic tho..

  28. Lea April 30, 2016

    Gul Beyonce’s fans are broke and accustomed to spending their last to support her and her unstable family! Their either broke, on welfare or some sort of government assistance, ratchet and stank!

    • King B April 30, 2016

      It only takes 0.00000000001 second to outsell Ciara.

  30. Cinnamon Girl April 30, 2016

    Drake’s album still #1 on iTunes. Expected to crush Beyawnce’s album in sales next week according to Billboard. Lol!

  31. Cinnamon Girl April 30, 2016

      Everything Khia said was the truth about Beyonce. Her and her camel tried to exploit their marriage to sell records and she still came up short behind Adele and Taylor

      • Lea April 30, 2016

  36. Irv April 30, 2016

    I really hate people with no life coming to TGJ talking sht about two good artists, Congrats to riri and I actually think Anti and Lemonade are by far the best I’ve heard of these two and I love both albums #Justenjoymusic

    • Lea April 30, 2016

      Lil girl be quiet aren’t u here?!

      • Irv April 30, 2016

        Huh?

  37. Barb-wire April 30, 2016

    When will fRih fRih stop sucking every male’s d*** in the industry for a generic hit single? This b**** has become a joke throughout the years, so much clinging this year. Drake, Kanye now Cuntvin Hoerris.

    • Fresh Navi April 30, 2016

      When Nicki stops being tossed around young money like a salad.

      When Nicki gets more than one album past the 1 million mark in the US for sales…

      When Nicki finally gets a #1 on the Hot 100

      When Nicki finally gets a GRAMMY

      Its contingent on so many things…. but lets hope your fave achieves just one of these in her fading career.

      A nicki fan has no space to talk about f****** Rihanna EVER. NICKI Has done a feature for EVERYONE in the industry and no number one to show for it.

      Maybe if she was sucking the d**** of men with power in the industry rather than a facking bum like meek mills who rihanna should really be paying to carry her shopping bags around JUTS MAYBE she can be close to being on the level of STARDUM AS BEY AND RIH

      until then stay tha FACK MAD PEASANT!

    s** With Me #182
    Rihanna has 5 singles in the iTunes chart

  39. IStan4Rihanna. April 30, 2016

    1) “This is What You Came For” is sung completely by Rihanna alone which makes this song hers just as much as does it Calvin Harris’, even though he’s the writer and producer who just happened to put his name on it for value.
    .
    2) Calvin Harris has NEVER charted in the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 or topped the ITunes U.S.A chart with a song that wasn’t attached to Rihanna’s name and the two songs he has written and produced of which were smash-hits were because of Rihanna – “We Found Love” and “This is What You Came For” are Rihanna’s songs and she made them successful.

    3) Drake’s most successful singles were with Rihanna as the lead artist, minus ‘One Dance’ now of course.

    .

    What and where is she clinging too exactly? Will somebody please explain because this is apparently “fact”?

    • Fresh Navi April 30, 2016

      BLOOP!
      Do let the bums know….
      Everytime Rihanna gets a #1 with features she’s “CLINGING”

      Yet none of these men that she CLINGS TO can seemingly get a number one without her… Ya’ll scavenge for every excuse possibly even when they are void of logic.

      Clock these b****** Navi. The hive+ is desperate with the excuses

  40. BeyKnowlesBest April 30, 2016

    The desperation is real for rih, she had this track ready for when all the songs on anti start flopping after work..

    • Fresh Navi April 30, 2016

      Nah she had the song ready for when Bey came out (after al the competition of course) to remind all the BEYHIVE that you know, your fave is a lessor.

      There’s only one new Queen and its RIH-ANNA

      like all i see is signzzz! sings that you know…

      THAT RIHANNA REIGN JUST WONT LET UP

      Reigning Queen of the 2000’s, Reigning Digital Queen
      Reigning Queen of the Hot100

      Reigning Queen of the UK Singles Charts second only to Madonna.

      Need i go further. I have ALL the receipts b****** just @me.

      • BeyKnowlesBest April 30, 2016

        Her numbers be so basic tho, but I guess

      • Fresh Navi April 30, 2016

        LOL!
        If her numbers are ‘BASIC’ and she has outsold all the other girls to become the BEST SELLING DIGITAL ARTIST and MOST CERTIFIED ARTIST by the RIAA, what does that say about your faves sales?

        Why cant the hive use their brains, are the ANTI logic?
        serious question of course.

    • Anti(hives scared of R8) April 30, 2016

      Who cares, Anti was #1, work #1

  41. Alex April 30, 2016

    Beyoncé is the ONLY artist to have 6 Consecutive #1 albums after her debut!! History has been made and unlike Ri, Bey SETS records! Not break them! ????

    • Fresh Navi April 30, 2016

      I’m sure someone gives f***. not me but maybe someone else.

      Rihanna doesn’t need 6 consecutive number one albums, she’s the queen even w/out.

      Unlike Beyonce Rihanna actually made a true debut in the music industry, no ties with the industry, no parents to coach her, no former introduction by means of Destiney’s Childs…

      But good for fossil at least she slays on touring and album, which really does make her music royalty

      Rihanna slays Hot100, BB200 (though she doesnt do big number she sells consistent and has 7 Platinum and a Gold album, one of which is multiplatinum).

      Her last tour grossed 137 million and she didnt need to tour twice and join the sales to do it.
      The Anti tour is currently sold out in most places, my fave is clearly on and popping

      • Alex April 30, 2016

        When Rihanna is the HIGHEST tour grossing African American artist of ALL time then we can talk. Bey is STADIUM status while Ri is ARENA status. Ri pops out singles but don’t get it twisted. She’s not a LEGEND like Beyoncé. Prince only had 5#1 hot 100 singles and Michael had 13, but did that stop prince from being great?? Thriller never went #1 on the hot 100 but it had FAR more impact than the song that did at the time. Rihanna is a one trick pony. DEAL!!

    • Donnice April 30, 2016

      Rihanna the only black femaleartist with 6 consecutive #1′ hits on the? Billboard charts. with the release of an album .When b gon do that.

    • Fresh Navi April 30, 2016

      NOT LESS THAN HALF SOLD OUT.

      I’m crying… shall i call her Struggleoncé instead of FOSSIL now?

      The former is seemingly more accurate.

      • iSpeakTruthNoFallacy April 30, 2016

  43. iSpeakTruthNoFallacy April 30, 2016

    Well Beyonce had a hell of a good run, even if it was for only 5 days…

    • Fresh Navi April 30, 2016

      FIVE DAYS? i’ll give her 3.

      Fossil should just sashay away into oblivion really.

  44. Anti(hives scared of R8) April 30, 2016

    The song is growing on me wow this is a smash!!

  45. King Mark111 /.\ April 30, 2016

    I don’t get it, if the song is so bad and cheap, how is it at #1? Where are the so called talented artist on the charts? How come You don’t support them? Pest can’t make up their minds rather Flopmation is a buzzed single, first single, free track or what. Lol

  46. AJ April 30, 2016

    Good for Rihanna staying in her lane as a feature or backup singer for better artists. Tsk tsk.

    • Fresh Navi April 30, 2016

      Beyonce has several features RUNNING and HYMMS for the weekend they failed to chart well, is it that beyawnce is just allergic to the apex of the 100?

      i genuinely want to know.

    • Donnice April 30, 2016

      More like other artists flock to Rihanna, looking for a hit. They know everything she touch turns to gold. Ri ri the hit maker. The bey give know that if bey really was the boss she would have beea hitmaker like Michael. Why do you think she keep forcing people to buy her visual albums? It’s because she can’t get a hit to save her life. She don’t have an ear for good music. Rihanna does. Rihanna could make hits and sells albums and merchandise she’s so marketable. The real boss bish.

  47. Sherrele April 30, 2016

    Lol, yall hate on Beyonce like she stole yall man or something! Calm down!. So much hate on the world. Damn shame

      • Fresh Navi April 30, 2016

  51. Auntie_Jackie April 30, 2016

    Cool. There really isn’t much competition between Beyonce and Rihanna no matter how hard people try. Beyonce is an album slayer. She’s the biggest star in the world because of her performances and ability to create spectacle. She ‘s not a perfect star, she isn’t a songwriter or on cutting edge of trends. She isn’t a musician. Rihanna is a serial single slayer with a unique tone and a good eye for trends. But she isn’t a perfect star. Her vocal range is limited and she isn’t a great performer. They’re both talented but imperfect and that’s why the fan bases are in a never ending war with one another.

    ‘4’ was a flop, ‘Anti’ was a flop. They both are still huge. If only Ciara could win a little bit!

    • Sherrele April 30, 2016

      Thank you @Auntie_Jackie, you summed it up correctly! As long as I see sistas doing their thing in music with all the Taylor swifts, Britney Spears, Katy Perry. I’m proud of B and Ri. It’s like why can’t the rest of ftheir fans applaud both women. There is room in the music industry. I really do feel like female artists need to come together, and show the women empowerment! That’s what is missing in the music industry. S*** take me back to the 90’s!

    • Rozel April 30, 2016

      Oh please. Beyonce appears bigger than she really is. Y’all always want to say Rihanna is a singles artist, but the real truth and you could Google this is that Rihanna is the best selling female artist of all times,second only to Madonna. And she’s the # 1 selling black female artist of all times. Beyonce is not even in the top 5 of best selling female artists. But Rihanna up there sitting with legends. No matter how this site and h8ters try to downplay her success, she out here in the history books where it really counts. She has nothing to prove. People love her music. It’s that hot. They buy her albums but you all are so fooled by beyonce always all up in your faces with her over the top dancing and media manipulation you think she’s bigger than Rihanna. But worldwide and in the Record books. Rihanna is #1. She sold more albums worldwide than Beyonce. Rihanna=album seller and singles seller +hit maker.

      • Auntie_Jackie April 30, 2016

        Stans always throw around vague stats. Best selling means what, exactly? A combination of albums and singles? Just albums? Just singles? They rarely give specifics because the argument would go to pieces.

        You do realize that Beyonce has sold over 100 million records and an additional 60 million with Destiny’s Child, and that Rihanna has produced 8 albums, with Beyonce producing 6.

        Rihanna has sold 200 million records. That’s smashing. But how high have her tour grosses been compared to Beyonce? These two artists simply have different strengths.

        “Selling” doesn’t give a specific breakdown of what was sold. It’s a combination figure. Let’s also not forget that Rihanna is by design a radio friendly artist with international appeal. Beyonce had to cultivate that appeal by shear will and force of presence, since she does pretty traditional modern R+B with some exceptions.

        Rihanna can sing….nearly anything if the production is right. She’s moldable, versatile. It’s what makes her a hit maker.

        It’s not possible to win an argument, because there is none.

      • Fresh Navi April 30, 2016

        Rihanna’s Loud Tour Grossed 90 million /at that time IASF grossed 112 million i believe.

        Rihanna’s Diamonds World Tour grossed 137 million/ The Mrs. Carter World Tour grossed 229 million. The Mrs Carter tour gross includes sales of TWO north american leg as she did one pre and post the release of self titled and she also included ticket sales from FESTIVALS to her concert sales.

        So all Beyonce isnt killing touring as ya’ll would make it seem, she’s the better performer but Rihanna does just as good in terms of tour gross, so lets just be honest lets just be real 🙂

      • Donnice April 30, 2016

        These are not vague stats. Best selling second to Madonna means only one thing. What it says. Selling singles and albums worldwide. Google is your friend. Stans make things up. Stats tell the truth.

  52. T April 30, 2016

    I know the navy of all people ain’t talking about cancelled tour dates. Not when Rihanna went from stadiums to arenas and still ain’t sold out or making money like bey. Nashville is postponed because of construction. Everyone who lives in Nashville can see that the stadium isn’t finished. Lmao at the pathetic navy using media fake out as a source. The same website who says Rihanna has h*****? I guess we should believe that too since y’all using them for a source. Lmao navy are the dumbest stans by far.

    • Fresh Navi April 30, 2016

      OH no! not arenas!!!!

      Wasn’t the Mrs Carter World TOUR mostly arenas and Diamonds World Tour stadium… while the former did outgross the latter, my fave did 137 by just one go,, your fave did two treks pre and post the release of self titled and joined their sales even going as far as to include FESTIVALS.

      Lets just agree that our faves earn on touring and keep it cute. I’ll NEVER be so delusional as to think that Beyonce isn’t the better performer, her music is just dry and boring thats all.

    • Slay_Hive April 30, 2016

      082415.jpg

      Did the botched launch of Rihanna’s album dilute enthusiasm about her tour? Ticket sales have been soft—the demand is such that she’s only booked for one night in most of the arenas on the North American leg, while European stadiums are even softer. The Weeknd had been installed as special guest star for Rihanna’s European tour, but pulled out when he found out he would not be co-headlining and had to go onstage before dark. By contrast, upper-demo U.S. summer tours including Paul Simon, Sting, Don Henley and David Gilmour are doing strong business.

      • LB April 30, 2016

        But Rihanna is still playing her dates even with soft ticket sales and is filling up, up to 90%, your girl cancelled an entire show because she couldn’t fill the venue.

      • Slay_Hive April 30, 2016

        And where are your REAL receipts? MediaFAKEout? ????

      • Fresh Navi April 30, 2016

        @SLAVEHIVE

        b**** my fave has had several sold out tour for her Anti Trek and each and every stop is well documented in videos i ain’t never seen empty seats b**** its always FULL to capacity.
        Don’t worry if her tour gross is less than 150 million this time she could always tour again at the end of the year and add it to her tour gross like a certain fossil.

        We ai’nt mad outchere we SITTING BIITCH

  57. Nina April 30, 2016

    The gag would be is Beyonce booked Ellen, The View, and GMA to promote “Sorry” or “Hold Up” during May. I’ll let that sit there……

  58. LB April 30, 2016

    MediaTakeOut.com spoke with a person in the know who told us that the arena was “less than half sold”. That seems about right. Immediately before Live Nation pulled the concert, a fan tweeted out how many unsold seats there were. See below

    • Slay_Hive April 30, 2016

      Why is Rihanna downsizing from stadiums to arenas?

        You’re still worried about Rihanna when you should be helping your girl sell tickets for her shows.

      • Fresh Navi April 30, 2016

        why is Beyondsleep downgrading postponing certain shows?
        Will she be adding festival sales to her tickets sales again?

      • Slay_Hive April 30, 2016

        Death you should be doing the same for Rihanna who is struggling to fill 13K capacity arenas. We are stadium status baby

      • LB April 30, 2016

        But Rihanna is filling all her venues at 90% capacity, your girl isn’t filling at even half, hence her cancelling shows.

      • Fresh Navi April 30, 2016

        all her shows in Canada were sold out and seated 18,000 to 21,000 people.
        Niggah iz you blind?

      • Slay_Hive April 30, 2016

        Comparing 15K to 70K are we? Half of that is still more than Rihannas puny arenas

      • LB April 30, 2016

        Doesn’t matter, Formation tour is still not sold out, not even at 90% capacity.

    Lemonades 660K > Anti 140K

    • Fresh Navi April 30, 2016

      Anti could have only sold 10k in total in the US and still be more RELEVANT and iconic than your faves era.

      Because lsts be honest, while Beyawnce did have the whole world talking for a week after the Lemonade visual, no one will be talking about this album in three months. Beyawnce is very forntloaded, she’ll sell a lot first week and thats as far as it goes, she isnt a consistent seller as the months progress. Rihanna does not sell that much first week but she goes platinum because she consistently sells and so her era will last longer.

      • LB April 30, 2016

        That’s what I’ve been saying, Beyonce is good at front loaded sales.

        I’m willing to bet at the end, Koolaid will sell more or less the same as Anti, but not too far off.

      Your fave is currently milking camel’s infidelity so its current affairs.

    This website is no longer a music blog.It has become nothing more than a fanzine for Beyonce in which Sam mistakes defamation and lies for journalism!!!!!

    Sam,your life must be very sad to be so full of so much negativity and contradiction!!!!!
