Beyonce‘s BeyHive will no doubt be buzzing with jubilation today.
The singer’s sixth studio album ‘Lemonade’ hit the 1 million mark in pure (US) sales earlier this week – making it eligible for a Platinum plaque.
However, the formalising process is one that has to be actioned by an artist’s label and granted by the Recording Industry Association of America – more commonly known as the RIAA.
This morning brought with it the confirmation of what was essentially a guarantee.
Details below…
Taking to Twitter, the RIAA announced:
Queen ? is now 6 for 6 with #RIAAPlatinum or higher albums! ?? #LEMONADE is Platinum, @Beyonce! Congratulations! pic.twitter.com/MXN9ql5Bhy
— RIAA (@RIAA) June 8, 2016
Interestingly, the feat wasn’t celebrated until the project hit Platinum in pure sales. A fact we doubt was coincidental.
In recent times, streaming has seen projects that haven’t even scanned 400k in sales being certified Platinum (and then double Platinum) based on free plays. And while Bey long hit 1 million equivalent units when factoring in streams (a total which now sits at 1.5 million), there’s something qualitatively pleasing about her doing things the traditional way.
Times may be a changing, but there’s one thing that remains untouched – and that’s Beyonce’s reign atop of the Pop pack. #NoPurchasedPlaques.
LOL….SHADY AS HELL, SHE WAITED TO ACTUALLY SELL I MILLION IN PURE SALES TO GET CERTIFIED, UNLIKE A CERTAIN PERSON.
FORMATION TOUR: 97 MILLION FORM 18 DATES..SHE IS WINNING!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope all of them… 120 producers will get paid ???
Anti will b certified… MEDIOCRE!!!
?
Lol and the 500 song writers for her most personal album….
And they gonna cling to double plat if streaming gets it there. Such fickle flip floppers. Not the entire hive but the ones who live for daily TGJ Stan wars. There’s nowhere else to get it but tidal, which is…well….coupled by her “cloak of mystery” anti-marketing but it’s really marketing you damn right it better SELL.
he promotional campaign for ANTI was long, clunky, and apparently, very expensive. Jay Z inked a $25 million deal with Samsung. Within that deal was the alleged promise that one million copies of ANTI would be purchased by Samsung and given away to fans for free, ensuring ANTI’s RIAA platinum status. (This discounts the Billboard/Nielsen charts because giveaway statistics are disqualified from the running. Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz had a similar fate.) Tidal’s stats are all over the place with no definitive answer as to what’s being counted as a sale or not. It’s messy…
Just goes to show that people are still willing to PAY for her albums in large numbers while many of her peers can no longer say the same.
“her” being Beyoncé oof course
It’s been reported on tmz someone suing crooked Beyonce again does she ever think of anything herself or bey just steals from people it’s beyond pathetic at this point all her music career someone sues her for taking their idea
That so called film guy really need to go back and check out previous work from her albums before “lemonade” and people would say he got all his ideas from Beyoncé, just a few songs mine dej Ja va blow superpowers just to name a few. So I believe he got her ideas first
Rihanna’s ?????
Can’t even go Gold.
Remember the chart tracking body Nielsen reports Rihanna’s comeback LP sold just 460 in its first week? 😆
SAM IS ALWAYS SHADY….I CAN’T. LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cant wait for Anti to get its triple platinum certification.
Sam and the h/I/v will have collective heart attacks lol
Kiiii right
AND WHEN WILL KERI HILSON BE CERTIFIED RELEVANT?????
Keri has a gold album and multiple certified hits
Worry about The Divorce Album catching up to Views in sales and Anti coming for that 3x plaque
@keri kiii you better drag that bum… Beyonce needs gimmicks to sell records
Molly the h/I/v is so pressed that Gimmickonce can’t sell an album wwithout a gimmick
The porno album she had to be vulgar and naked. This album she used her marriage and race baiting (Formation) to sale.
Exactly boo bey is desperate she knows her career is fading faster than slave_hives hairline.
Screams!!!! I die of laughter every time I see Bald hives selfie
It’s been reported on tmz someone suing crooked Beyonce again does she ever think of anything herself or bey just steals from people it’s beyond pathetic at this point all her music career someone sues her for taking their idea
YAS!!! LEGENDYONCÉ!!!! ????????????
How is this news?
Adele went 3 times platinum in her first week!!!!!
Queen ?? not everybody can say their face did this.
Your fav can’t even get a release date #stopit
Your fave can’t even get a label home, b**** you’re the most annoying person on this site.
Lol Sam is so shadyyy ??????! Anyways congrats Bey I knew she was waiting for it to actually sell a million copies to get that certification ??
Real sales!!!! You have to respect that
You go girl! Congratulations to Beyonce!
Molly still pretending she’s a Rihanna fan lol who will she d*** ride next huh Taylor Swift
YOU HAVE TO IGNORE MILDRED THE MAID..A.K.A (MOLLY), JUST LIKE ANY OTHER DEADLY PLAGUE AND INFECTIONS THERE IS NO KNOWN CURE FOR IT.
Lmaooooo drag that ho
If your fav haven’t sold actually sold a million copies you shouldn’t be in this post shading anyone ☕️
Well since Rihanna has sold platinum 6 times before….
One of which is double plat in sales Loud is almost double plat as well…
My fave has SEVERAL PLATINUM CERTIFICATIONS.
but anyways keep trying to shade, its as tired as Beyonce is as tired of free falling down the Hot 100.
Unlike Rihanna, Beyonce actually SOLD a million to actual music buyers, which means her certification isn’t bogus…like Rihanna’s is.
Rihanna has sold platinum 6 times CUUNT.
lol
and Anti doesnt need to sell a million, Rihanna is a legacy artist, she can do what the f*** she wants. Selling Records doesnt matter anymore
see Madonna, Mariah Carey. Fossil is also a legacy artist.
And if anything Beyonce has shown us that even when we FLOP *coughs 4*, we can still rise and get back on top.
Anti has been top ten since its release in february and its now June only leaving the top 5, twice thus far. Be mad be prressed.
It’s been reported on tmz someone suing crooked Beyonce again does she ever think of anything herself or bey just steals from people it’s beyond pathetic at this point all her music career someone sues her for taking their idea
Her album sales are decent, nothing impressive. Anyway, of course it should go platinum, otherwise it would be alarming to flop with your #6 album.
Beys discography is very mediocre.
CI-MAN IS JUST MEDIOCRE AND NOT EVEN INCLUDING HER DISCOGRAPHY IN THAT STATEMENT.
But everyone knows Ciara has a better catalog than Bey.
The only people that think that are the the people that bought JAKCED……..AND YOU HOW THAT WENT DOWN, ONLY CI-MAN’S FAMILY MEMBERS BOUGHT THE ALBUM AND MAYBE INCLUDING FUTURE’S OTHER 10 BABY MAMAS OUT OF RESPECT FOR BABY MAMA ASSOCIATION. THUS, NOBODY THINKS THAT..LMAO
WHEN DO U THINK YOU AND YOUR OTHER KLAN MEMBERS PUBLICLY SUPPORT TRUMP?? AND IS IT TAKING SO LONG…..
Delusional, I won’t even vote, not interested, I voted for Obama, is that racist?….
I’m sure you won’t..but my question was that u being the secretary of the KLAN, WHEN IS UR FAMILY GOING TO PUBLICLY SUPPORT TRUMP AGAINST CLINTON????
I won’t play your game, find another to play with.
LOL @ “The secretary of the KLAN”.
We all know ur favourite game is the LYNCH A NEGRO’ game..WICH I’M SURE U ARE EXCELLENT AT.
“of course it should go platinum, otherwise it would be alarming to flop with your #6 album”.
Interesting … I guess it was rather odd for ‘ole Madonna to only score a platinum plaque on her 5th offering (‘Erotica’)… in 1992! I mean, did any diva sell that low with a studio album in the 90s? … Janet, Whitney, Mariah, Brandy, Toni, Sade, Mary, TLC and Mary sure didn’t!
Did any of those divas released an album like Erotica at the time?…….Not to mention the fact that before that album she released The Immaculate Collection, which sold 30 million copies worldwide. Are u really coming for Madonna in the name of Beyoncé ???…..Beyoncé and all of those divas you mentioned above are beneath her, that’s a fact, greatest woman in music, deal with it, that woman has etched her name in history like no other.
“Not to mention the fact that before that album she released The Immaculate Collection, which sold 30 million copies worldwide”.
… annnnndddd. Your point? Several of these women had huge peaks and didn’t match it, but none of them only failed to sell a measly million records during those times. Erotica happened before Madonna finished paving the way for “the gimmicky artist”.
“Beyoncé and all of those divas you mentioned above are beneath her”
… their talent sure isn’t!
“greatest woman in music”
Who are we referring to? Streisand? Ross? Carole King? Joni Mitchell? Roberta Flack? … Oh, you’re defining Madonna? … the mother of smoke and mirrors, inflation and privilege over talent!
This is amazing I’m happy for beyonce. Now i need her to revamp this formation tour. I need
1.get me bodied
2 freakum dress
3 suga mama
4 best thing I never had
Like this formation set list makes me mad. However, don’t get it twisted i will be seeing her.
#beyhive
Nopee Freakum Dress and Get Me bodied can stay off the set list. I want her to add Jealous and Best Thing I Never Had. I’m seeing her again tonight in NYC
Navy is pretending Anti is a hot cake..the fact is…Anti is just a leftovers sandwich. ????
You just kill me ??????
Platinum after SIX to SEVEN weeks and she’s the Queen of pure sales? Is this a joke? Even after the Hive said she was going to sell a Million the first week like Drake. Interesting.
But what’s ironic is with every Beyonce’ accomplishment noted, Rihanna is shaded.
Ok, but Why not compare Bey with Taylor and Adele since they are more on her level. ,hmmm… you won’t because it’ll really SHOW how mediocre these sales are. I would be embarrassed to be a beyhive right now.
Rihanna stays in her lane, OWNS HER MASTERS and does her own thing. Let her LIVE!
Whatever helps you sleep at night sis!!!!!!!
All this true TEA #EyeAmLiving hehe
Yasss reality check coming out the blue to drag kiiiii
They can’t congratulate their fave without worrying about Rihanna who they claim is so inferior. Theyre scared to mention the REAL album sellers where Gimmickonce cant compare.Obviously threatened because even after giving away 1 million copies she still has sold 450k and a million worldwide.
Drag those no-life-having-āss-høe-hive fruity bottoms!!!
Well said. Bey and Rihanna are not the only female artist. Adele and Taylor’s sells are through the roof and consistent. They sell over a million in one week. Nothing against Beyonce and Rihanna, but there shouldn’t be a post on sales until they reach Mariah, Madonna, Celine, Adele, Whitney, Britney Spears, Janet Jackson, Shania Twain numbers. Congratulations on another platinum album, but, that’s nothing ground breaking or something to write an article about.
This article is shady but yes, this new mode of certifying albums Platinum that haven’t even sold 500k copies is a joke. With that being said, congrats to Beyoncé. She, Justin Timberlake and P!nk’s longevity is commendable.
Wait a minute, ANTI hasn’t even sold gold yet and has been out since like January? Bwhahahahahaha. Too funny. 5headanna is talentless flop s***.
Anti is platinum WORLDWIDE with a million in pure sales. However, in the US Anti is on track to go Gold in two weeks. IMO that’s great even after the album was given away for free and leaked.
iconic. Legend.
LOL@”platinum WORLDWIDE.” Sad.
Didn’t drake go platinum within two weeks? Lets not forget anti was certified platinum after one day of release hehe #NavyWins
Shut up Maid! I guess you don’t understand it said Pure Sales! Anti isnt even Gold! When will you stop pretending to be a Rihanna fan and stand behind your real fave CIARA??
Idk you
That is what the GENERAL POPULATION said to JACKED when it was released!!!!!!!!
How are you going to degrade anyone’s sales when you stan Selena though?
In other interesting news…Anti is struggling for GOLD ?????
Look the RIAA is US only..they added streaming to their certifications…anti sold 1 million to samsung….1 million emails were used and downloaded the album…anti is 2x platinum… There is no she hasn’t went gold that’s not how it works…outs 2x platimum… deal with it. Rihanna is not the only one to benefit from streaming. ..streaming has paid users and ads. .money is being generated
So in a month, Beyonce has sold more than 2x what Rihanna has in six? Hmmm…
still don’t understand why y’all care about numbers so much when none of them benefit y’all in anyway
I actually don’t care about numbers in general. For any other artist, I wouldn’t care one way or another. But I love picking at 5headanna’s idiot stans. So if I can use her poor numbers to throw darts at those clowns, then so be it! 🙂 CANTI flopped. What kind of pop star can’t sell 500k in half a year? Bwhahahahaha!
lmfao a hit dog will holler. it it don’t apply, don’t reply
I will do like the GP has been doing CICI for years and pay Molly The Struggle Maid dust. I will no longer be playing games with that s*** stain. ✌?️✌?✌?✌?
How are you paying me dust when you just mentioned me? Dumbbb fucckk! Lay off that sizzup dying fagggott.
“But everyone knows Ciara has a better catalog than Bey.”
?????????????
I see Molly haven’t taken her pills today lol Sam I think it’s best you Molly the maid off your site she’s so unstable ??
i TOLD U THERE IS NO CURE FOR THAT PLAGUE EXCEPT IGNORANCE AND U JUST MIGHT BE OKAY FOR A WHILE.
Lmaoooo @Surprise I just like dragging that ho
She’s just trolling to get people riled up??. She’s a loner in real life and probably the black sheep of her family so she comes a on blog to feel important. She figures if we give her any amount of attention, she’ll be okay with that. When your life means nothing in real life this is what you do, she’s a class C troll.
Death bîtch I thought you were paying me dust? You cant help but discuss the ICONIC QUEEN.
Damn read a ton sis.
Considering how hard and fast Ciara’s albums immediately fail, I would say that no, not everyone ‘knows’ this.
“Idk you” lmao you still lying Molly or is it Miller today. You’re so bipolar idk which one it is today??

I just love how Molly raced her b**** ass in this post, if i’m not checking for somebody, the last thing imma do is click on something that about that particular artist.
B***** but you’re checking for me I swear you no name hoës love keeping my name in your comments! I DON’T KNOW YOU HOËS!
But b**** who are you? You’re just a random on blog like the rest of us, Weezy points just might be valid. Pick a struggle f***** and stick with it.
I’m screaminggggg you better drag Molly for filthhhh
My question is WHY or WHY is the Navy even touching their keyboard in this post when you have the hashtags #27 #460 #Samsung #400k #6months ??
Oh and #10DollarTickets
LOL@that frog-voiced #460-selling chick with the struggling tour to match. Beyonce reigns supreme.
#NoPurchasedPlaques
I wonder why Jackie isn’t here??????????
She is…she is just invincible like its’s fave career as a singer!!!!!!!! just a guess
All of taylor swifts 5 albums have been atleast certified 4x platinum!
1989 is very close to being certified 6x platinum in the states.
That’s nice for Taylor, but keep the shade light. This is a Beyoncé post.
Who said I was shading hahahaha
The fact that u came in a Beyoncé post to post Taylor numbers is very shady. Your intent was probably different, but a lot of people will take it as shade.
YAS QUEEN TAYLOR.
Drop those numbers. Taylor cant be mentioned in a Beyonce post but Rihanna has to be? Girl bye!
The worst album of 2016. No wonder it cannot produce a hit record. She was too focused with having her name in the credits instead of producing a decent album. Beyonce’s discography is very mediocre indeed.
You’re so mad lol get over ittttt! You should worry about Anti selling 500k many sites have called Lemonade the best album of 2016. You can stay mad about it let the hurt go
The album can’t produce a hit but the singles are selling more than every song in the top 10 on the Hot 100 ??? #bloop how about that for some tea
Wonderful

I know,when the only coke your fav knew was a soft drink…«Wipes tears»
Get into this new username girls ?? I like it
Your fave can’t get a hit and produce an offspring. I’d be mad too and deflecting to Rihanna who is young, beautiful, fertile and this generation’s hit maker.
No CHRISSY BORWN MADE WAS A ‘HIT’ MAKER FOR HER IN JANUARY 2009.
*MADE HER A ‘HIT’ MAKER IN JANUARY 2009…*
ROTL b**** ???????????????????????????????????
You can tell by the way this “article” has been written that for the runners of this blog there’s no interest for this blog unless they talk about the Beyonce vs Rihanna narrative. Other than that no one cares at all about anything else this blog posts. The pots are getting more and more desperate.
YAS THIS BLOG IS TRASH
Congrats Bey. However you’re not standing shoulder to shoulder with Elvis, Mariah, Beatles for number 1’s. Regardless if they matter to her fans, Rihanna’s are in the record books. deal
I congrant queen bey thanks Sam for posting this make my day good luck with all your projects
Ok I hate this username time to change back! I have to continue dragging Molly with my username as MsYonce. Once she sees my name she gon run like she always does
Centurion is seething ?????????
Cannot wait for the hives tears when Anti hits 3x platinum. Still waiting for LOUDs updated certifications.
Samsave is not anything to envy love.Get over yourself
$28 million and your own label is, both of which you don’t have.
Ummmm….How’s her tour doing? Samsave not coming to the rescue yet? I’d be pressed too if any of my favs flopped that hard
Tour is doing great actually, over 90% sold out.
@msyonce with his UGLY ASSSSSS!!! ???
Kool-aid by Queen roach hits platinum and all the fleas care about is Rihanna LMAO, she’s always on your mind. So much power in her name.
They’re mad because Anti is 2x platinum and The Divorce album took a month to go platinum
If we cared about Rihanna she would have a much more successful tour.We would donate to the BeyGood cause but too bad it doesn’t cover vocal lessons
And yet you’re still talking about her. Good luck pretending you don’t care
Legend in the making! Congratulations Beyonce! I can’t wait to see what the future holds for you Queen!
I am darn proud to have loved this lady for more than 80% of my life.Talent actually pays off.I would have never guessed that when she was in DC she would one day be this great.
DEATH @Keri,
‘
Queen roach had to publicly shame her husband to sell this construction noise filled floppy disc, from stripper to gargoyle.
‘
I cannot believe Jay Z allowed himself be emasculated like that LOL
Celebrating a Platinum certification as if it were a Diamond one… LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL. Can’t ”the reigning queen” do better?
It’s sad that the Navy are celebrating a tour that’s 90% sold despite being the hottest pop star today. But hey this era has thought them to not be over ambitious
It is indeed sad.None of my fav except Gaga are struggling that hard.Flopping on tour,where they do that at?
Love Rihanna just flopped harder with this album than any Lady Gaga release. And that´s saying a lot after all the backlash Gaga faced for being one of those faces who are the perfect next thing to tear down (like a BvS situation in film industry) Thankfully Gaga has talent to back her up and she´s been doing great and being recognized everywhere these last two years. What will Rihanna do when her lucky run in singles charts ends? 🙂 Rihanna doesn´t have talent and she doesn´t have a loyal fanbase as a result, proof is her most selling album has never sold more than teh worst selling album by Gaga first week. That´s very important in teh long run. Rihanna only achieves some decent numbers after months of one radio-friendly single after the other.This go round not even that.
Gaga may have had a “flop” era but she still managed to sell out some of her tour dates and come out with a respectable overall gross.
The fact that this girl had a #1 hit but can’t even fill up a 15K arena in her prime just shows that there is something wrong.
Jesus
Exactly. If Gaga or Beyonce or any artist with some more talent were having a long running #1 they would be selling some huge numbers in album units. Hell mariah Carey would do it now at almost 50 years old with a hit on singles charts. Problem is nobody takes Rihanna seriously, so thsoe quick hits don´t mean anything and son´t translate into real success.
Still wondering why the legend and album seller isn’t doing Taylor Swift or Adele numbers, some queen…queen of smoke and mirrors.
If Ariana can sell out all her dates then why can’t Rihanna?
Well Ari had a lot more steam going into the tour. Anti had a messy roll out.
She may not be doing Adele or Taylor swift numbers but she is BREAKING and CREATING RECORDS
LMAO like what?
This site is so funny though, unless there is Rihanna or….the other one in the article, 90% of the articles get ignored lmao. FLOP site.
Oh and does anybody know if that is real fur on that cover of Kool-aid, isn’t this b1tch vegan? LMAO
DIRECT THAT ATTENTION TO ALL THE UNSOLD ANTI-TICKETS……LOL
And direct all your attention to walking to the nearest gas station so you can power up that generator in your Lagos home
isnt it funny that 20 years later, this biach is still in the game. let see where riri is by 2026
IN BARBADOS WORKING IN AN UNDERGROUND ABORTION CLINIC…
LB,honey you are done,you came for Justin with an “album” as you call it that wasn’t available in all countries but your fav is flopping with all that promo & Samsave backing.You were too quick to run that mouth of yours and this is what your fav does.She is a flop and doesn’t have a loyal fanbase besides the people who occasionally buy her over radio hyped singles on the radio.Is the navy even a real fanbase?I have never seen such a disloyal fanbase.
I CONCUR…….LMAO, DRAG A BIT SIS.
Let’s not forget Yonce will have to pay 25423542152 people because of the people involved in making her album for her, her millions of back up dancers, law suits, the extras she paid to keep quite about her gimmick release in 2013 and for her fashion icon award.
–
This is why she is always touring like a lable s****.
DEATH!!!! The accuracy
And somehow she will end up with a higher paycheck than Cokeanna.Tragic
LMFAOOO
As for Kelly,Berry,What ever the hell your fav was called before she became irrelevant Qween.Honey stop embarrassing yourself.Your fav can’t come for Bey even off the charts without having that trashy career of hers destroyed.Where the hell is Kermit or whatever,for all we weow she could be a man named Tim undercover for her safety.No one has had of Kermri and no one cares about her,not saying they ever did.Stop going undercover as a navy to dorge the BRS.You and Molly should give up this undercover “I am a navy” masquerade.Jackson has been masquerading as a failed woman named Ciara for years.We don’t need more people roaming TGJ under the Beyhive Scalping Protection Program.
Death@ these long incoherent essays! The h/i/v dumb as your favorite
Is this feat (1.5 mill) just SPS or does it also include TEA track equ sales cuz im assuming individual tracks had to have crossed 2 mill in the US by now which would indicate 100-200k more albums. I still dont know how sales plus streaming works but 1.5 mill in 1 month is impressive in this climate. Bey next albim could be HUGE and debut way above 1 mill US if it was just a regular album promoted and proceded by a hit 1st single. My vision for B7 would be some live funk RB Pop album with only 8 or 9 tracks. It would atleast sell more than 460k first week… (see anti begining and final US pure sales total, start with 460 and multiply by 1,000 5 months later)
Your fukking incoherent dissertation!!! She’s ”the album seller,” so, this is mediocre for ”an album force” like her. Why ”could” the next album be huge? Why not this one? The excuses are real. Suggesting a music direction and predicting sales is DELUSIONAL!!!
the same ppl tht certified rihanna #Anti album x2 platinum is the same one that certified beyonce #lemonade platinum so it safe to say rihanna certification are accurate
Yes.
But as you can see, There are two way to have certification.
With and without stream.
Beyoncé choose the all fashion way. ??
Yes.
But as you can see, There are two way to have certification.
With and without stream.
Beyoncé choose the old fashion way. ??
adele 3 million 1st week — debut 8 years ago
taylor 1.2 million 1st week — debut 9 years ago
beyonce 500000 1st week — debut 20 years ago
rihanna 1200 1st week — debut 10 years ago
be the judge
Child please She debuted in 2003 AS A SOLO ARTIST
So what her debut album sold over 11 million WW & 5x Platinum in the US fwm
So wait, the queen and album seller still cannot sell what Taylor Swift has been able to sell in the first week, 3 albums in a row? What is she the queen of exactly?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cs57e-viIKw
Platinum after SIX to SEVEN weeks and she’s the Queen of pure sales? Is this a joke? Even after the Hive said she was going to sell a Million the first week like Drake. Interesting.

DRAAAAAAAAAAG. SPILL THAT FUCKKKKING TEAAAAAA!
Are Rihanna stans seriously retarded or what the hell is the orblem once and for all? How the hell can they come for Beyonce when they stan for Rihanna???? LMAO Beyonce sold in a week what Rihanna sold in months. END OF STORY! Just focus on why Rihanna cannot stop releasing generic singles or her career is over otherwise (see what happened last year with her cancelled album for more proof).
I don´t f****** care about Beypnce´s music but truth is she is one of the very few who does very good sales wise in this pathetic climate. Why the hell do Rihanna stans use Adele to justify Beyonce not being the very top seller??? LMAO Where is the logic? Focus on why Rihanna is nothing without streaming and why she is considered a joke. Focus on that and grow up once and for all. Rihanna has NEVER sold well for what she was supposed to, and this time she just FLOPPED hard. There´s no more to it.
Talent is the important thing anyway, does she have any??? 🙂 🙂 🙂 She the biggest joke next to Cyrus, and the biggest since britney Spears, although at least taht one could dance.
But you had no problem when Gaga was releasing generic EDM tracks Grandpa during her short lived career.
Because Gaga HAS TALENT to back it back. Don´t know how many times it is needed to be said. I know Rihanna fans don´t like to read but damn it! LOL Anyway, any Gaga album is better than any Rihanna album, if only for the vocals and for the fact she actually was involved. Last but not least, the most geenric and basic Gaga album was the Fame, and I didn´t even use her at that point. My thing is talent. Don´t know why some people get so upset. Why doesn´t Rihanna try once and for all she can deliver talent? Why doesn´t she relase a different porject? a pure Jazz album? a Musical? get serious recognition at important stages? Oh wait Rihanna cannot do it cause she has zero talent. Bye.
Beyoncé is a megastar and yet she doesn’t sell well… then?
LMAO she is back at writing dissertations about Rihanna nobody reads.
I really think this Johvidal person is crazy, as in NO ONE EVER READS HER COMMENTS.
She is absolutely cray cray, either that or is on crack.
You spend your life here writing lies about Rihanna being more successful than Beyonce and I am the crazy one for commenting a lot these last couple of days saying some obvious truths? LMAO I don´t expect RIHANNA stans to read anyway. Go enjoy the masterpiece that is Work and stay happy. Go ahead! 🙂
#NoPurchasedPlaques.<<<THE 'samsung rihanna' SHADE. I'm dying bwhahaha haha.
At the rate that sugar water is selling bey might as well buy a plaque, since she’s an album seller and all she should be doing Taylor and Adele numbers.
Not doing Taylor and Adele’s first week in 6-7.
Poor dat, my fave isnt a album seller as the hive points out ever so often. She sells singles and you know she currently has two in the top 10 as wee speak.
The HIVE is mad that lemonade is a flop and lets be honest NO ONE will be singing songs off lemonade in a year, there are no hits from the album.
There are no memorable songs, even when we aren’t talking about hit singles all the tracks are pretty bland.
They are using propaganda lemonade is wack
Congrats Bey. What’s her full soundscan sales now? Is she almost at 20 million albums sold outta retail stores yet? She’s doing so good.
Not that impressive really. But light years ahead of Rihanna´s real sales 🙂
“In recent times, streaming has seen projects that
haven’t even scanned 400k in sales being
certified Platinum (and then double Platinum)
based on free plays.”
——————————–>
But where are the lies Samantha? Not even The Pinkprint flopped as hard as CAnti! You know there’s something wrong when you’re being outsold by a rapper who has zero number 1s. fRih is such a flop ass bitxh, Getting outsold by a damn album that’s been out for a month? She needs to sit in the background with flops like Ciara, Keri Draggedson, Kelly Rowland etc
But Anti has outsold The pink s***
@Barb
Anti is Rihanna’s only album since her debut to not sell a million.
She has 6 albums which have sold a million.
Nicki has how many platinum albums, oh thats right 1/3?
Is the s*** print still struggling to sell plat even after 231723283y7 singles?
THE QUEEN OF RAP! SLAY ONIKA SLAY.
Nicki’s numbers to Rih’s is what meek is to Drake. GET IT THE FACK TOGETHER H**.
Nicki own 3 multi Platinium album ?
Anti outsold it worldwide and will probably outsell Roman Reloaded. Plus the entire LOUD era outperformed Nicki’s career. In terms of #1s, single sales, album sales, tours, and awards (she won a Grammy).
But the Struggle Print stalled at 900k worldwide. Anti at least made the million dollar mark in pure sales
*million copies
Plastic Minajs last two albums have failed to sell a million copies. Have several ugly
Congratsto Beyonce! Her album is doing well and the tour is averaging like 3 million a show. But why drag Rihanna? She just got another #1 and made history. Her tour is doing almost a million a show. Her album is selling consistently despite the messiest roll out of a major release since Whitney’s comeback album. Despite the odds, Rih is still doing well. She may not being doing as great as Beyonce but who cares? Both are doing great.
They drag Rihanna because Rihanna makes history with everything she does. Even if Anti did a million first week, sam would still read her and say that Roc Nation bought copies.
Rihanna’s Tour could gross 500 million, his response would still be, Roc nation comes through, they created enough smoke and mirrors to make the talentless model with a mic do big touring numbers. Sigh.
Rih isn’t the best singer but she has proven countless times that she can sing. Honestly I think its a tone preference thats more of the issue. IDK how Anti is a flop when its week to week sales are consistent 15 weeks in and it made history with another #1 that spent 9 weeks at number one. Plus Anti’s roll out was just messy
CORRECTION: The Formation Tour avg 5 million.
Didn’t the good sis adele go platinum in three days
Is Parakeet’s last album plat?
I just love when @lb comes thru and drags a bit..
Slay King B! I can’t wait to see platinum ass live tonight!
Well done Bey. Keep up with the good work ????????????????????????????
Hahahaha, Beyonce stans STILL can’t go a day without mentioning Rihanna. That’s why she’ll always win. So congratulations to Rihanna, keeping the Pest bothered since 2005. Lol
When will you congratulate Rihanna on her PURE sales? When will you congratulate Rihanna on her tour?
Congrats to Rihanna for selling 1 million albums WW after giving out 1.4 million albums. Congrats on Anti World Tour, still going and sold out. Happy?
Once again clinging to meaningless nonsense
Rihanna has no 1’s this era unlike your kleptoncye
I thought I was the only one who didn’t read JOHNVIDAL 7 book series comments. lol #PayedDust
Just like the GP paid Anti and the Anti tour dust.
Not when 1.4 million albums was DL within 2 hours. Not when is the most streamed album of the year. You failed ma’am.
You must be talking about p*** Ade
Whhat singles are doing well…oh none
Bottom line is your favs could never go platinum 20 years into their careers & selling out stadiums night after night . Your favs will be doing Vegas residencies in 20 years ?
You sound like the idiot you are…OK fortune teller, not
If your favs are flopping now what would be the difference in 20 years ? Stfu
If she releases Lemonade platinum edition to all streaming services it’s over for the girls ???
If y’all want to cling to streams LEMONSLAY has been platinum weeks ago ! But unlike you low life rats we care about PURE Sales. Y’all need to hyping Rihanna and just take it for what it is she flopped terribly to have the biggest single this year & clinging to Adele & Taylor swift is just pathetic . Either congratulate or ignore . Bey stays on your minds but continue to hate because she will continue to prosper & yall will forever Stan for talentless flops with your broke asses
beyonce has many writers because she used samples on most of them. when you sample anything you must add the writers in the credits. which is why there are so many names. I’m mad I even explained that but I was tired of seeing the same silly comments
Thank You.
Some poeole don’t know how the industry work’s.
If she didn’t give crédits, she will be attacked by everyone for that.
Haters love to hate in every way possible
Beyonce is media successful
I don’t hear anyone playing that crap in real life
I do hear Rihanna coming out of cars
Beyonce is wack and deep down she knows it
That explains why LEMONADE is still number 1 on iTunes ? Girl bye
Even the name if the album is dumb, lemonade????? Wack
But it’s critically acclaimed, platinum & breaking records & still number 1 on iTunes . Girl bye
I don’t need a critic to think for me I can hear and its wack
What about her other song other then lemonade
