While the VMAs may have gone some way to sully Rihanna’s public image, it’s safe to say they may have her given her somewhat of an early Christmas present.
For, perhaps in response to her smoking set at the event, her latest LP ‘Talk That Talk’ has finally been certified Platinum, almost one year since release.
Details below…
Ultimate Rihanna reports:
“Talk That Talk”, her 6th studio album, has been certified platinum in the United States, selling over 1 million copies since its release in November, 2011.
This is her 5th consecutive album to go platinum there! The album has sold over 3.2 million copies worldwide.”
Well done Rihanna!
Marking the best piece of news sent her way in a while, congratulations are definitely in order for both she and the folk over at Def Jam and Roc Nation.
Reason being?
Considering the project has only spawned 1 US #1 single, to surpass sales of and ship 1 million copies is a feat we’d say stands as one of her best.
We only hope that with album #7 on the way, Rihanna takes the time to work on the voice many are still ‘unsure’ of seven years into her glowing career.
Like, while she’ll never be Beyonce or Rita Ora, wouldn’t it be great if Rihanna the talent lived up to the hype generated by Rihanna the chart topper?
A Rihanna, present in performances like these:

yes , cuz gaga sells it for free at McDonald’s with every happy meal 😀
Rihanna fans still pressed she will never do 700,000 full price first week? Let it go @pop 🙂
hahahahaha

Heeeey we don’t care if Gaga did it in a day we are still just as happy as ever.
Rihanna keep doing her thing, no matter what.
yeea
Yes now !!
I’m not a fan at all (actually, i hate this album), but at least, it gets its certification with actual sales, and not with shipments *sides eyes to ‘Pink Friday : Roman Reloaded’*.
yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas , amen to that !
sales > shipments
I Heard that! and hummmmm Rih got em talking!
Side eyes to Justin Bieber: Believe (800K and its certified platinum)
Carrie Underwood (750K certified platinum) So Pink Friday:Roman Reloaded is not the only album to be certified platinum with under a Million sales!
🙂
She does what she does
Side eyes to Justin Bieber: Believe (800K and its certified platinum)
Carrie Underwood (750K certified platinum) So Pink Friday:Roman Reloaded is not the only album to be certified platinum with under a Million sales!
Yusssss #suckHERcockiness ….
It’s hard to deny that rihanna has significantly improved as an artist, vocally she’s hitting notes that nobody new she was capable of (see Umbrella performance in France), and she’s making use of her unique tone in a good way (see Run This Town and POC at paralympic closing ceremony).
I really hope that the 7th studio album is something different, I’m tired of this bull s*** electro pop on the radio ….
Electro pop are what everrrrrrr i want her and
her team to keep bringing it like all the others
and something is bound to sell millions and she
is known as a Hit maker no matter what.
what type of journalism is that , madea’s “each one teach one” project ?!!
But Congrats to my Baby rhi rhi and the Int’l Navy 🙂
:/
Almost a year O_o what happened to “she is the biggest pop star” Navy? 3.2 mil only? Wow its kinda shocking seeing that her singles sell like hot cakes
MORE THAN YOUR FAVE!!!!
PLEASE TELL ME WHO YOUR FAVE IS…RITA ORA (DONT GET ME STARTED), BEYONCE?? HOW MUCH DID 4 SELL?
ummm,honey are we forgetting 4 sold over 1 million copies in December? in it’s 6th month? lets not! everyone wanted 4 to be a flop,but atleast it didn’t have to wait 10 months to achieve platinum status in actual figures!
You go Girl !!! 🙂
@JJFan1814 Yeaaaaaaaah girl, give it to them 🙂
@WHAT Drive yourself Nutts with Rih’s accoplishments
while many celebrate and “Cheer’s” to Rih’s Platium,,,,,
She is the biggest though, she more relevant then any other singer
@Leen so true!
I love this album, one of my favorites of 2011.
@S****** BLONDE me too and she is straight throwing
it down on “Talk That Talk” and as we all know Jay was so Pissy over her collab. with Chris that there is no Music Video
and i say lada daaaaah because what is for Rihanna it
has her name on it and Beyonce can’t touch it.
Rihanna does whatever she wants and dont give a s*** what anybody say
Amen Leen!
🙂 🙂
Unlike other artists, Ri’s team actually waits til the albums SELLS platinum, instead of SHIPPING platinum .. big difference
unlike “not-Rihanna” ora, Rihanna will never know what it feels like to sell 44k WW in her first week ..
damn , you da one 🙂
Hey rude boy 😉
@TeamBreezy Daaaaaam you hit the nail
on the head and all i got for you is…God
Bless You!!!!!
I watched the “hard” video from Rihanna and see that Beyonce copied her on “Who run the world”
yew
It’s good when we can agree to disagree just like
real sisters and brothers.
hate dont gets us futher though
had to change my name from leen to this <3
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BLACK WOMAN IN THE WORLD DID IT AGAIN!!…..YOUR SO FUNNY SAM, RITA WISHES SHE WAS RIHANNA……LIKE I SAID IN A EARLIER POST, DO U REALLY THINK UR GONNA SEE RITA IN 7 YEARS???? BUT RIHANNA IS DEF GONNA MAKE IT TO THAT 10TH YEAR AND THAT IS A GREAT MILESTONE!!!!
She is top 10 beautiful of all races. She is, by far, the most beautiful woman in the music industry. No singer is as s*** as her. Now, she catching up to movie stars like Halle, Eva mendes, Megan fox and Jessica alba – she is on them levels.
she has one of the best bodies in showbiz; she is one of the best dressed women on the planet and her hair swag is number 1 in my book.
In terms of face, body and style, these are the chicks who run Hollywood.
Halle berry
Jessica alba
Eva medes
Eva longoria
Zoe saldana
Rihanna
Salm hayek
JLO
Jessica biel
Scarlett Johannsson
Angelina jolie
Megan fox
charlize theron
amber heard
Rih is the only singer who can compete with movie stars
Per the WHITE OWNED MEDIA! 0_O
Angelina Jolie has the body of a stick figure and the rest of those dizzy broads are plastic Mattle Toy type, made in Hollyweird by plastic surgeons, so called beauties.
R**** had many surgeries
Including bleaching her skin nose job and more
@KELLLY Heeeeeey Kelly you nailed that comment
about the hottie’s in the “Wood” Now this will P***
many who are like that mad, pissy and pressed
ass wipe screen name “Blue” ha, ha, ha.
She really is a beauty
Where do you get that from ??
Most beautiful
@POP ROYALTY(RUDE BOY) Rihanna dont even like u she blocked ur ass on twitter i dnt knw y any navy members wuld accept u u such a loser who switches stan bases according to how well the artist is doing
My D*** , My Back , Like my penis and my sack. 😀
I will if it’s big…
HMMMMM SISTERS AND BROTHERS GET MAD
ALL OF THE TIME STOP TRYING TO START
SHYT WHEN THERE ISN’T ANY!!!
i KNOCKED A BROTHER OF MINE UP BESIDE THE JAW
SO HARD AND KNOCKED HIM OUT, I THOUGH I HAD KILLED HIM AND I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO HAPPY TO SEE THOSE BLOOD SHOT EYES OPEN UP AND HE ASKED ME WHAYT HAPPENED AND WE WAS CLOSER BROTHERS TO THIS VERY DAY.
Congrats Rihanna so proud!!
1 million sold.
This is how record labels should do it. Not like Nicki Minaj who is nowhere near selling platinum.
It’s hilarious when.people.say Rih.doesn’t sell.albums when.they.go platinum.
Justin Bieber: Believe (800K and its certified platinum)
Carrie Underwood (750K certified platinum)
So Nicki Minaj is not the only artist to be certified platinum with under a Million sales!
Rita TALENTED ora is on her 1st album don’t compare her 1st to riri 6th!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rihanna debut album peaked at #33 and Rita #1…. And rita is in the more difficult market…. #EpicFail
TRUE…. HOWEVER!
Music of the Sun was made in barbados with C class producers and was basically a demo….
It Debuted with 65k first week
rita ora Ora has production from the Dream, The Runners, Neyo, Drake, Will.I.Am
she has production from the biggest names in music Yet!
her album debuted with 44k whilst being promoted the f*** out of rihanna was never promoted that agressivly not even in the Loud era!
The Point is Rita is will be and has been a Flop and you will deal.
BTW THE ONLY TALENT RITA ORA HAS IS DUPLICATION AND EVEN THAT TALENT IS LACKING.
have you seen the made in america performances… look warm would be a vast overstatement.
KIIIIII LOOOOL
#idRAGbITCHES
MOT STILL went gold in the uk and usa in four short months.
Rih debuted in the USA with 69 and stayed on the chart for 35 weeks.
I am glad you brought up Rita’s insane OTT promotion. Her fans were saying rihanna was jealous cos Rita get more promo, now that she is a flop, they are saying she is not promoted. They always flop flop.
Here is Rita Ora’s promotion – which is the largest, most expensive of any ACT IN HISTORY – EVEN BRITNEY.

@KELLY That rita chick should have sold a Million her first week.
You are right, Sam, Rih will never be Rita Ora. Cos, unlike Rita Ora, rih has never in her career had a single cancelled .
BTW the reason why it took long, is because the music industry is in dire straights.
All her LP’s go platinum in America – f*** a number 1
TTT was already multi platinum anyhow. 7 yrs in, multi platinum LP, 2 multi platinum singles. YUP! Someone is not getting drop.
Rira ora: Cher Lloyd released her single the same month at Rita in the uSA – Cher has now sold 1.2 million copies of that song in America.
Rita Ora’s LP is 25 on the uk itunes chart, and according musicweek. com it is not in the UK top 10 album chart. How we do is not in the top 10 either.
LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL
KELLY sam, loosers and lames all know
very well that as far as Rih giving one snap
about how they fill about her, is a case of
Trying to blow smoke up RIH’S ASS and
Rih refuses to let and Dirt Get On Her
Shoulders and when there is some dirt
Rih brushes it off and keep right on
stepping.
Rih is still learning and growing and if
all goes well there’s no telling how big she will
be in the near future. I hope she keeps that
attitude that the sky is the limit.
Ri is
@Lax agree with you, she is only 24 and since 7 years in the game and she is doing preety good at what she does though
HATERS ARE POURING IN….
3.2 MILLION WORLDWIDE, B******!!!!!!!!! AND WE ALL KNOW THIS ALBUM WAS SIGNIFICANTLY RUSH!!!! RIHANNA CAN PUT IN HALF THE EFFORT AND STILL OUTSELL YOUR FAVES. WHY? CAUSE SHE’S A F***** SUPERSTAR!!!!!
CONGRATS RIH-RIH!!!
@ SAM
SHE WILL NEVER BE RITA ORA. YOU’RE RIGHT ABOUT THAT….CAUSE RIHANNA IS ACTUALLY SUCCESSFUL. AND SHE WILL NEVER BE BEYONCE. RIHANNA IS ALWAYS RELEVANT.
#NEXT
Haha yeeesssss!!!!!
Yea it’s no question that most of Teambreezy bought TTT after they saw the closeness of Chris & Rihanna. I’m always on twitter and word is most of Teambreezy bought TTT not saying that’s why it went platinum either.Teambreezy supported the album.
Oh congrats to Rihanna, it may have taken a year but she got her platinum in the US.
yeah
@JAMES22 it serms they did and there’s many who
still supports Chris no matter how big of a clown some of both fan clubs act because at the end of the day it’s all about what make Chris & Rih Happy no matter what.
dragged! love ya for this!
@JJFAN1814 cosign!
congrats to my girl Riri. and seeing that TTT is still selling, we’ll leave 4closure in the dust by the end of the year. RIri keeps on making HISTORHI
yap
B****, look how long it took Talk That Flop to go platinum… “4” (a non pop album) took half of that.. go sit your ass in all the seats of the Staples center where she flopped that performance.
@danny we don’t give a Rotten Egg how
long it took just as long as it made it to Platium.
What in the hell has time got to do with anything
when we all know how hard it is to sell music are anything else for that matter.
@Lax for sure, nomatter how long it takes, she achieved platinum though
IS SHE STILL A SINGLES ARTIST?????
CAN YOUR FAVE ACCOMPLISH SUCH ALBUM SELLS WITHOUT SCORING A #1 ALBUM??? I’D RATHER HAVE RIHANNA OPEN UP AT #2 AND SELL WITH LONGEVITY THAN TO HAVE HER OPEN UP AT #1 AND THE ALBUM BECOME OBSOLETE TO SOCIETY.
@JJFAN1814 I SO AGREE, WITH YOU ON THAT.
next
yep…
I thought it was platinum already. So the biggest pop star only now reaches a millI. Sad sad an album with hits and promotion. Is this really a celebration? Lol if this time around is her peak then I don’t know how many albums to come again. 6 onto seven and it’s combined sales weak like her pussah walls
I know, it’s pathetic. Beyoncé just promoted 4 for 3 months, without jumping on dance badwagon, pregnant, selling R&B songs, and it sold 1.2kk in US alone. She wasn’t even trying that hard. She’s in the industry for over 15 years! On other hands, R****** still is promoting her album after a year of release, had a bunch of generic dance songs, her biggest hit to date, Twitter followers, discounts etc, and she struggles to sell 1 million. I can’t.
HOW MUCH HAS 4 SOLD WORLDWIDE?
BEYONCE IS ONLY POPULAR IN THE U.S.
I THINK B****** LIKE YOU FORGET SHE ISN’T AN INTERNATIONAL SUPERSTAR LIKE RIHANNA!!! WHO DOES GOOD IN THE U.S. TO SUSTAIN HERSELF BUT DOMINATES INTERNATIONALLY.
#NEXT
Venice I world wide b**** she sold like 37m copies in the us and 150 world wide so F*** yo lies!!!
@BLUE
You and your overinflated numbers. LOL
@JJFan1814
…and that ugly b**** is only popular in UK! What kind of cheap INTERNATIONAL star she is when her last album failed everywhere? And her movie flopped everywhere? url, bye! I live in Brazil, and R****** is only known among teenagers, on other hand King B is as successful as a local act here and that’s why her albums smash hard. IASF alone sold more than R******’s entire discography.
DEAD @ r****** being global. DEAD. DEAD. DEAD.
I don’t have here a lsoloist solo beyonce sold 123m and 55 sold with DC http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/woman/3566796/Is-Rihanna-bigger-than-Beyonce.html
@Blue
WOW. You are quoting the most unreliable newspaper in the UK. The sun is known for making stuff up. I would be embarrassed to quote them. Beyonce sold 75Mil records world wide as a solo artist.
thats a f****** lie BEYONCE HAS BENN PROMOTING 4 FROM RUN THIS WORLD (GIRLS)
WHICH WAS RELEASED IN FEBRUARY!!!!
HER ALBUM WAS IN JUNE… AND SHE PERFORMED AT THE VMAS IN SEPT… SHE HAD REVEL IN OCTOBER…
AND WAS STILL PROMOING HER ALBUM ON JIMMY KAMEL AND RELEASING SINGLES
HER LATEST SINGLE BEYING I WAS HERE WHICH WAS JUST RELEASED
NOT BECAUSE HER ALBUM DIDNT DO BEYONCE NUMBERS MEAN SHE DIDNT PROMOTE IT
IF YOUR GONNA STAN FOR A TALENT LIKE BEYONCE THAN STAN GOOD AND DONT BE LIEING.. BECAUSE BEYONCE NEED NO ONE TO LIE FOR HER SHES RICH AND RENOWNED

@KELLY Just know that the more minus’s you get the better yo comment is, because when the haters read, see the truth it sends them into a spin like a dog chasing his own Tail, lmao.
Navy STFU!!!!! I though u said 4 is a flop ahahahah we were PLATNium a week later of it released shame y’all big mouthy c**** u just achieve what we achieved a year ago!!! F*** THAT THAT FLOP!!!!
IT IS A FLOP. 4 WAS NOT PLATINUM A WEEK LATER.
I WANT TO SEE THE RECEIPTS
F*** yo mama we didn’t take a year b4 PLATNium Certificate
On its first day of sales, 4 shipped more than 10,000 copies in Poland,[126] more than 120,000 copies in Brazil,[129] and sold around 42,000 in the United Kingdom on its first day itself.[190] According to The Official Charts Company data, 4’s opening day sales were more than the combined sales of its three nearest challengers, being Adele’s 21 (2011), Lady Gaga’s Born This Way (2011), and Adele’s first studio album 19 (2008) for that day.[190] After a complete week of sales, 4 debuted atop the UK Albums Chart on July 4, 2011, with first-week sales of 97,211,[191] In its second week of release, 4 remained atop the chart, selling 44,929 copies.[192] In 2011 it was the 18th best selling album in the UK, selling 450,000 copies.[193] It was also the fourth biggest selling R&B / hip hop album of 2011 in the UK. As of July 2012 4 has sold 870.000 copies in the UK[194] For the week commencing July 4, 2011, 4 opened at number two on the Australian ARIA Albums chart, giving Knowles her highest ever chart debut on that chart,[195] and started at number one on its urban chart.[196] 4 debuted at number three on the Canadian Albums Chart selling 8,700 copies in its first week,[197] and at number two in France selling 12,393 copies in its first week.[198] According to the Japanese music charting site Oricon, the album debuted at number ten, selling 18,984 copies for the week ending July 11, 2011.[199]
In the United States, 4 debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, with first-week sales of 310,000 copies.[200] This gave Knowles her fourth consecutive solo debut at the top of the chart and makes her the second female artist and third artist overall, to have her first four studio albums debut atop the Billboard 200.[200] 4’s first-week sales became Knowles’ lowest sales start with a studio album to date.[200] However, Keith Caulfield of Billboard magazine commented that the album was not released during the festive season and that Knowles was so far lacking a hit single, which could help explain the album’s softer entry.[200] Its lead single, “Run the World (Girls)” peaked at No. 29 on the Billboard Hot 100 – the first time the first single from a Knowles’ studio set has missed the top ten. He finally added that “4’s bow is pretty big for 2011. It marks the third-largest sales week of the year, after the [number one] bows of Lady Gaga’s Born This Way and Adele’s 21.”[200] 4 became the ninth solely-numerical titles (including roman numerals) to have reigned since the chart launched as a weekly survey the week of March 24, 1956.[201] In its second week, the album remained at number one on the Billboard 200, despite an 63% sales decrease, selling 115,000 copies. It hence became the first album by Knowles to top the Billboard 200 albums chart for more than one week.[202] On August 1, 2011, the album was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), for shipments of one million copies to retail stores.[203] For the week ending September 10, 2011, 4 fell to number 12 on the US Billboard 200,[204] after having spent eight consecutive week in the top 10 positions.[205] However, after Knowles’ performance at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards, 4 registered an 87% rise in sales, allowing it to re-enter the top 10 of the US Billboard 200 at number seven, selling 39,000 copies for the week ending September 17, 2011.[206] As of February 2012, 4 has sold 1,658,700 copies in the United States.[207]
It took 4 , 3- 4 months to cross 1 million in the US and she didn’t have a #1 single for 10 weeks it’s almost a year and TTT it still haven’t sold 1 million yet just certified platinum. 4 has sold 2.9 million copies ww
4 went PLATNium without promotion idiots
B**** 4 went platinum in 7 months and it took a whole year to make it to 2milli WW….but Rih has went platinum in the US in 10 mnths but made it passed 2 milli WW in like 4 months!

@Blue and haters….
This life is what you make it. Not matter what, you’re going to mess up sometimes, it’s a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you’re going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends – they’ll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, somg go. The ones that stay with you through everything – they’re your true best friends. Don’t let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they’ll come and go too. And babve, I hate to say it, most of them – actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can’t give up becuase if you give up, you’ll never find your soul mate. You’ll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn’t mean you’re gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don’t, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life’s a beautiful thing and there’s so much to smile about.
@BLUE MAKE US BITTER BYTCH!
Wait 4 doesn’t even count because it has no hits meaning nobody is checking for Beyonce. Run the world which is a pop song didn’t crack the top 10 even with promo.If Rihanna didn’t get a #1 single people would have something to say.Beyonce is a pop icon stop making excuses about her album being R&B.Her pregnancy saved 4 !
You gettin them HOT!! Haha, they lame ass will #DEAL
I m from Germany and Rihanna ist the most popular black singer here the other were and are almost irrelevant, Kelly did a song with Bacardi in Germany, maybe is kelly a bit relevant to in Germany.
@Blue,,,,Tell us why you “Stay Maf”, Though?
Mad^
It’s good to see an album get certified PLATINUM as it approaches 1 million copies. . . Not 500k like some artists do.
IT HAS SOLD A MILLION
yea
It took her a year to sell 1 million in the us.
It took Beyonce way less time.
I just wanna know what the navy is going to do when that 7th album flops?
Meanwhile Beyonce is gearing up for soundtrack,movie and album.
Had Beyonce promoted 4 like normal she would’ve outsold her easily… She has in the us and that’s all that matters. Seems like Rihanna is the fading star over here…
The navy always reaches lol..
Beyonce>Rihanna always has been that way always will be lol
1 MILLION IN THE U.S., 3.2 WW….= LONGEVITY – TTT
1 MILLION IN THE U.S. AND STILL NOT CLOSE TO 3 MILLION WWW = 4
YEAH WE SEE WHOSE THE REAL WINNER IS. #NEXT
4 has sold 2.9 million copies , OOOPS!
right
Beyonce rocks!!! 4 #1s WOOOW uh R**** lol 6 attempts
No b**** it took her 10 months! and she is still ahead of 4flop WW…..and her old ass album LOUD is still selling…can u say the same for 4flop?….NOPE!
Riahanna dont give a f***, she is working more then ever
Bey is always promoting hard but it dont helped her with 4
Beyonce promotes so dang hard , that many
people looks for her ass in the toliet stool because
she is LITERALLLLLLLLY ever place including the toliet.
TTT has now outsold 4 and spawned monster singles. 4 had not a single hit. Did y’all know beynonce released ‘ end of the time’ in the UK in April….LOL LOL LOL where did that song go.
It is true. Beyonce sales were only juiced up cos she is more known in America, she is not that big international artist y’all think she is.
I am hafl swedish and many swedes do not know who beyonce ad jay z are. Rihanna is tabloid fodder is Sweden. Why? Rihanna makes pop / dance and that appeals to the worlwide crowd more than RNB Hence why Mariah is bigger than whiteney. Also, Rih is tall and slim and Europeans like that body type more than beyonce’s fat texan body.
IF U CAN ADMIT 4 WAS A FLOP Y CANT U ADMIT TTT WAS A CERTFIED FLOP AS WELL IT SOLD THE SAME AS RATED R DID R U STUPIT OR SOMETHING
..
F*** ur stupidness don’t talk about UK without finding information dumb c**** after Glastonbury 4 debuts at number 1 97k copies and Sasha fierce was at number 4 , dangerously on love was at #10 BDAY WAS #33 has any of R**** s album re enter the chart after it 1 or 5 years of released? All DC albums was also back on the chart!!! Talking massive hits in the UK best beyonce have 7 number 1s in the UK R**** only have 5!!!! Let talk 4 and TTT in the UK TTT was the biggest selling album last year with 460 bey 4 was second with 450 that’s without promotion ok single wfl #1 yo da one #45 shame where have u been #15 ain’t that low for the biggest pop star Best thing I never had #3 love on top #5 for a massive 16 weeks 1+1 #44 I care #34 I miss u #87 run the world #11 23 weeks on the chart I was here #66 rather die young #45 countdown #20 party #77 all beyonce 4 tracks enter the chart if she did a promo she could of have number 1s R**** promoted 24/7 she only had 4 tracks from TALK THAT FLOP ON THE CHART
@KELLY We have to keep Schooling them,
they know the truth but still acts like a clown, shameful to say the least.
“certified Platinum”
Wait, if it’s certified doesn’t that simply mean Def SCAM Recods shipped 1 million copies not sold 1 million?
NO DUNCE CHECK SALES IT HAS SOLD A MILLION…
NOT LIKE NICKI WHO CHEATED AND CERTIFIED BASED ON SHIPMENTS WHEN SHE ONLY SOLD 600 K
RIHANNA IS AT 995,703 SOLD AND WITH THE VMA BOOST WILL HAD SOLD A MILLION AND IT WILL BE RECORDED ON WED SEPT 13, 2012
uh
Love Rihanna! Well-done!!!
yes
Can anyone name a number 1 hat came from Beyonce’s 4?
I cannot wait to see Beyonce new look next year. Big, fake blonde laceweave; fat baby weight, and those garISH Tina Knowles house of dereon sparkly gold outfits.
LOL LOL HAS Beyonce never heard of Rih’s fave designer Alexander wang? Yup, but she is just to short and fat to fit into the clothes.
LOL Iman the supermodel said clothes look better on Tall thin people. That rules out Rita and Beyonce.
Beyonce definitely isn’t fat or short. Y’all are just being rude now. Sure 4 was a flop but that has nothing to do with her body. She has a pretty bangin figure to me and so does Rihanna just in a different way
Beyonce is 5ft 6 and 200lbs. That is short and fat. Are u saying rihanna is short and fat?
true
They are both beautiful, dont throw shade for no reason ..
You know what, i really do belive that Beyonce´s time is up…. every singer got a timelimit
Suck my cockiness
Lick my persuasion
Eat my words
And swallow your pride down, down
I have peeped Cher Lloyds bratt’s, Karmin’s karmites, Katycats, Gaga’s monters, emelie sande fans, britney fans, etc. The only ones who have sheer utter hatred for rihanna, are Rita Ora and beyonce’s fans.
No ther acts fans hate Rih with a passion as those two. Why beyonce / fans? Beyonce is done – she will seen as the hottest black woman againf.
Rita Ora / bots? Rita is under beynonce, and wants to be like Robyn fenty.
Why would Rihanna the WORLD WIDE SUPERSTAR want to be Rita who just started out??? Rita is not better vocalist than Rihanna. Sam just wants to mention as much as possible so that people believe it and it sticks. I am not Rihanna fan but she is a better vocalist than Rita.
Rita can sing far better than Rihanna
David,
Maybe so, but she is not a star. There are many beautiful girls, more prettier than kate moss……but they are not models let alone supermodel.
Rita can ‘sing’ but she is not a star.
Na, actually I think Rihanna got a very unique voice, thats why she is so known
@Navy we can smile long and hard because, we can
all remember reading on this very site about how Willow, Rita,Beyonce is going to always out do Rih, Rih and Rihanna is still holding her own. The concert in the UK
LAST WEEK with Coldplay,,, and even Jay had 80,000
people and i say , that’s all right.
WRONG! Im a KatyCat and I dont like this p**** patting flop.
@SLATY welll it’s her thing and she can do what ever she
wamt to with her’s and you are free to pat yours if you so choses too.
@Slaty Beyonce pops her cat and Rihanna Pats her’s what do you do to Yours?
true..
Its about rihanna tough, she is at the moment the best and everbody will compare the others with the best
Cool, good for her. She sells singles better than albums, but it hasn’t stopped her yet. She’ll release another album in two or three months, because it’s coming up on a year that she released TTT, which had one monster hit, and the rest luke warm. I’m excited to see what tricks she has up her sleeve (besides the old ones) this era.
HOW ARE THE REST LUKE WARM?
YDO PEAKED AT 14 ON THE BHOT100 AND #1 ON DANCE CLUB CHARTS
BIRTHDAY CAKE PEAKED AT #24 WITHOUT THE AID OF VISUAL OR BEING RELEASED ON ITUNES (REMIX tHAT IS)
WHYB PEAKED AT #3 ON THE BHOT100
ALL THOSE SINGLES SLAYED
YDO,WHYB AND WFL ALL HAVE BEEN CERTIFIED PLATINUM
WHYB AND WFL 2X AND 5X RESPECTIVELY.
Singlesales mean more money then Albumsales though …
She sales !!!
@Auntee u r so right but it’s well documented that she is selling both. And her 20 million units in the UK is a great
true example because 14 million was singles and 6 million was Albums and no one else from the US have done that
and to EXPAND her Horizon her over 47 million Digital Downloads has done nothing but helped to shine a bright light to the Power THAT IS Rihanna.
For a WORLD WIDE SUPERSTAR those sales in the US are really POOR. She should be selling selling near to the 2.5 and 3 Mil mark in US .
What I find funny is that Brit’s Blackout album that everyone here said is a flop sold 3.2Mil without any promo and now Rihanna and Beyonce selling less or just about the same amount it is considered to be a success.
How much has Femme Floptale sold?
Yeah, but you have to admit the most people dowloading songs illegal. We are not in 1990, where the people have to buy songs in order to do listen to songs
@MISSIMPARTIAL,,,But this also means that she is doing some things that really help seal the deal that she’s a Super Star and Rihanna has sold more than many her age and Older who have been in the Industry way longer then she has. So who are you comparing her (Rihanna) WITH SINCE
we can see that Time 100 list and Rihanna is on it and she is also #3 of top sellers under 30 and my QUESTION to you is where are all of the others who are SUPPPPPPPOSED
to be bigger and better then Rihanna, Where are they all at?
LMAOOOOOOOOOOO AYEEEEEEEE i see the haters are up in here thumbing down comments, crawling out thier keyboards for thier life. #PRESSED
Yep lol
Haters stay Pissy when it’s Rih!
Let them stay mad 🙂
Anywho, that’s a cute picture. Her hands are huge tho….. o_0
meh
Nobody is perfect
beyonce released 6 singles from 4
run the world
best thing i never had
countdown
party
love on top
end of time
in which country did any of those singles go number 1
and she released a video, practically n*** called 1 plus 1
Her time is already up
Okay. Beyoncé’s singles didn’t hit #1, but 4 still managed to sell as much as some basic b******’s albums full of generic dance songs. BUT, which was the last R&B song to top the charts? I really don’t remember. I think it was Empire State of Mind. It wasn’t like Beyoncé released dance songs and they failed, they were all R&B. As far as I know, R&B isn’t relevant on radios since 2010. So it isn’t a big deal that a R&B song didn’t score top 10 hit these days. Speaking of it, where are Birthday Flop, Talk That Flop and Cockiness? I don’t see them anywhere, maybe they’re on the bottom of the charts, but I won’t look that deep. Sorry :/ But for a pop/dubstep like You Da Flop is a problem. It failed to get a top 10 everywhere, even payola didn’t help it. What did happen to Where Have You Flop? You all were saying that it’d go #1 after American Idol, but it didn’t go anywhere. LOL. R****** released dance songs, but they didn’t save her album. I can’t. You know it’s the damn truth.
I don’t see R****** scoring a top 10 hit with an urban sound, she needs to jump on the bandwagon or she won’t be relevant. Actually, she can’t score a f****** hit without calling someone to jump on her track. Picture the difference? Beyoncé can do whatever she wants because her name alone sells. On other hand, R****** needs to jump on trends, change her persona to score her hits. DEAD. That’s why her albums failed to get the #1 spot and struggle to get Platinum.
DRAGGED. SLAYED. FINISHED.
All beyonce 4 songs enter the UK chart R**** only had 3 songs from TTT on the chart crap s***
SO IF 4 SOLD AS MUCH AS A BASIC B****’S A;BUM THEN DOESNT THAT TRANSCEND AND EQUATES THAT BEY HERSELF IS A BASIC B****?!!!
ALL THESE B****** DELERIOUS LOOOOOL
F****** DUNCE THATS WHAT YUU ARE WHAT YUU NEED TO DO IS DRAGG YOUR ASS TO COLLEGE TROLL SO YOU CAN BE “EDUCATED” UR REASONING IS LACKING
BUT WAIT BEY CANT FORMULATE A SENTENCE AND SHE IS RENOWNED!!!!!!
THERES HOPE FOR YOU YET 😀
LMFAO!
@fresh GO INNN LOL
@KELLY not NAAAAAAAN single One?
Beyonce is aimimg for some number one’s
the next time around, Rih is KILLING her
haters all on her own.
Beyonce floped hard. she should stop copy other artist though
Leen plus stealing, fraduing and being so dang
INSPIRED, LMAO….
Yeah, since when is coping/ stealing called INSPIRING :/
end of time – uk 39 / usa did not chart
1 plus 1 – uk 71 / usa hot 100 – 57 / canada – 82
best thing i never had – 16 uk 3
party – usa 50
run the world – uk 11 usa 29
countdown uk 35 / usa 71
love on top – uk 13 / usa 20
complete and utter flop
7 flop singles in one year
Unlikely Rirtard, Beyoncé isn’t a single artist. Her success isn’t mesured by singles or albums. Her success is based on live performances and iconic moments.
Anyway, could you tell me a R&B song that hit #1 between 2011~2012? I dare you. I’m waiting for your reply, b****.
but she’s Beyonce…she supposed to be able to do that..right? LOOOOOOOOOOOOL
Lol. Im sorry i will give you performances but what iconic moment? Bey had set only one trend
she got girls to love their booty.
but what else?
riri on the other hand has had the take a bow cut, the i dont give a f*** attitude, the red hair, and the shaved sides that’s a pop icon
Wow! Thank you. You just showed that Beyoncé is superior than any other b**** around here. Finally you admitted it. You just said that you stan for an inferior basic b****. If Beyoncé can’t make it, no one will. That’s the deal.
Blue ur dumb c*** beyonce is the leader how can u compare beyonce to R**** when R**** look up to beyonce? Rihanna said
Her greatest idol is beyonce
Yeah Ri said that a long time ago, times has changed
No, Bey was not the one who is responsible for women love their bodys, it was J.lo first came out with curves. Beyonce did copy J.lo when she first came out…..it looked like if she was the one, may she was the first black women
KELLY Preach, and teach them because They
do not know what time it really is. This time right now
is not going to let just one single person like Beyonce
make it and leave all the others out in the cold, give me
a pucking break.
Congrats, it’s not how fast it sells, it’s if it sells. Chris Brown last two albums haven’t even went plat yet, matter of fact, I think both of his last two albums combined doesn’t even pass a million. If Rih with top 10 hits taking a while to go plat, what make people think that Rita will? I can’t wait for Rih to put her in Tearria Marri/ Kat Deluna/ Cassie ville. She’ll be lucky to be a one hit wonder, at lease people wonder about them.
So what, but I still congrats Rihanna for going platinum. We all know that Teambreezy has been buying Rihanna’s music ever since her and Chris became friends again. Can’t say the same for the Navy hateful ass.
Real folks know that the race isn’t always won by the
fastest runner but by those who stay the course.
hmm
Anyway b**** here can tell me a R&B song that hit #1 on ther major charts between 2011~2012? I’m waiting.
I’m waiting, b******. As long as you don’t answer my f****** question, your argument about 4 didn’t score a #1 hit is invalid and irrelevant (as R******’s debut movie). So where are you b******???? C’mon. Did I slay you enough for a day?
R&B luminary Ne-Yo’s “Let Me Love You (Until You Learn To Love Yourself)” score 5th UK number1 and it’s first R&B number1 since 2010!!! Dance music took over there wasn’t any rnb major hits may b with this the door will b open again I can’t wait for beyonce album let break records hives xx
B****, did you listen to the song? This s*** isn’t even close to be R&B. Make sure that your s*** is real before posting here.
The comparisons are tacky and tired. She’s doing well, no one cares about “ORA” in the US, she’s lacking something. Rihanna has carved out her own niche. You surely are desperate for hits. Po you lol……….. Your ploys are a flop…….
Congrats Rih!
6.5 times platinum in the usa with about 8.5mil album sold. One more album and riri joins the diamond club!
Ur f****** dumb!!!! Ur stupid to go diamond 1 album have to sell 10million not f****** 7 albums sells 10m ir stupid not surprise ur navy dumb c*** it have to be 1 album straight selling 10m
I assumed everyone on here knew what i meant, so let me clearify it for imbiciles such as your self, riri is one album away from the handful of artists who have managed to sell ten mil albums since her arrival on the scence which to my knowledge r just adele and carrie maybe taylor swift… Now please go choke on a d***
Riri will never sell a diamond album!!! Of ADELLE can’t go diamond u think R**** will? It the most imbecile b**** here check ur spelling to try to write in French quan tu es une pute
hm
:):::
WOW It still hasn’t sold 1 million yet and BTW TGJ TTT has only sold 3,044,000 copies not 3.2
Taylor swifts last album was certified platinum in the United States in a week, Rihanna takes 11 months.
@taylor swift number 1 fan
love taylor but why r u comparing white american country singer taylor to black bajan pop singer riri?
h
*10
Taylor is a Country-Pop artist, Rihanna is more of an Urban-Pop/Caribbean artist – of course taylor is going to have more appeal and will go platinum in 1 week in AMERICA – worldwide? now that’s a different story….
@Blue Replied: you’re right.. why Am i comparing Rihanna who has 11 number ones.. To Taylor swift who has only 1.
I can compare them, cause they both make music!:)
@mkigz Yeah she doesnt sell as much as she should worldwide. Her last album sold 1.4 milliion outside of america.
One of the main reasons, is she doesnt really go out places outside of america.
Her lastest single though is in the top 10 in the uk.
Taylor Swift fans obviously can’t count…it’s 10 months b****!
Hahahhaha oh okay. 10 months… to just one week.
Taylor>>
whatever
That depends on your source one states 3.2million and the other 3.04million.
but both do admit that their figures from some regions are estimated and not 100% meaning sales are either high then that or less, taking that into account ppl on here seems to choose the chart that seems a lil more positive (for all artists) if not more accurate
U like this stupid h**!!!! “Yeah, I’m not sure that’s actually what happened. I think she had a song on there, a little rap that said that. But she likes to play different characters. So I don’t know what’s going on there,” Obama said of Minaj’s verse.
mehhhh
Well congratulations are in order regardless of what is said about her – She is more of a singles artist , which means she is going to sell better singles-wise and sell worse albums-wise – but her selling over a million is definitely an achievement for a “singles artist” – I think the album would have gone platinum a lot quicker if more Pop songs were released, but still congrats to Riri.
I do not want to hear Beflopsay fans because Rihannanavy cares about the whole world, where #TTT outsold 4closure and #GGGB outsold Dangerously off-key. Anything else CREEPHIVE?
Lady gaga stans can be quiet. Did Rihanna give away 2 copies of her album (digital and hard) at best buy and other major retailers and phones. Did she have a 2 for 1 deal all across america? Nope, Gaga was not selling as great as she wants you to beleive plain and simple.
Everyone else isnt even in he position to say a word, your faves cant compare.
GGGB SOKD 6.5 copies world wide and dangerously in loved sold 7.8 copies world so how’s that outsold?
In the United States, Good Girl Gone Bad debuted at number two on the Billboard 200, being headed by T-Pain’s Epiphany, selling 162,000 units in its first week according to Nielsen SoundScan.[41][42] The following week, the album dropped to number seven selling 81,000 copies.[43] The album was re-released on June 2, 2008, making the album soar from Number 124 to 7 on the Billboard 200, selling 63,000 copies and having a 930% sales increase.[44] In 2008, the album received a two-times platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), adding the sales from the original Good Girl Gone Bad album with the deluxe edition.[45] The album spent 98 weeks in the Billboard 200 selling 2,616,000 copies.[46] As of February 2011 the album has sold 2,666,000 copies in the United States.[47] As of July 2010, the digital tracks from the album have sold a combined total of more than 17 million units in United States.[48]

GGGB Plus it single sold 17m in the united state and 3m in the UK album and it single sold 23m world wide
Dangerously in Love debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart, with sales of 317,000 copies according to Nielsen SoundScan.[31] Although the album’s first-week sales failed to match that of Survivor which sold 663,000 units in its debut in 2001, Knowles earned the highest among Destiny’s Child members’ solo albums by best weeks: Rowland sold 77,000 copies for Simply Deep in its strongest week while Williams earned 17,000 copies for Heart to Yours in its top week.[31] The album has been certified four-time platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).[60] Dangerously in Love remains as Knowles’ best-selling album to date,[61] with cumulative sales of 4,825,000 copies in the United States as of March 2012 combined with it single the album sold 23 million in the United state alone.[62]

On July 12, 2003, Knowles became the first female artist (and the fifth artist ever) to top both the singles—with “Crazy in Love”—[63] and albums chart simultaneously in the United States and the United Kingdom, following The Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, Rod Stewart, and Men at Work.

You Rihanna/Beyonce Stans crack me up – Im more of a Rihanna fan and love/listen to her music like everyday BUT im not gonna diss Beyonce or anyone else unless I had to (for a very good reason). They’re both friends so why is there such animosity between these “stans”? smh. If yall hate Rihanna so much dont comment – simple as. I dont really like Gaga but Im not going to waste my time commenting on a damn article about her. The commenters of TGJ….I just cant……
Yay!! 4 Rihanna I’m sure her sales would improve once she goes on tour to be honest she barely promoted the album here just released singles and she barely performed her songs here hence why she’s doing great overseas her tour will help her it did during loud era

yas
Congrats to Rihanna. It doesn’t matter how long it takes to sell an album, as long as it’s selling. It doesn’t make much of a difference to me. As I always say, Rihanna is no local b****. She is a worldwide seller. And TTT has passed 3million worldwide. So no complaints here.
@Fresh, Your numbers are completely off and wrong. Teenage Dream alone has sold 5.4million world wide. Katy has sold more than 6million overall
I am glad you brought up Rita’s insane OTT promotion. Her fans were saying rihanna was jealous cos Rita get more promo, now that she is a flop, they are saying she is not promoted. They always flop flop.
Here is Rita Ora’s promotion – which is the largest, most expensive of any ACT IN HISTORY – EVEN BRITNEY.

Where did all this get her 1st 2 singles in America?
And yet…….ROC are not done: She will be doing show in Tampa with 2 chains – 2 chainz had a number LP and hits on billboard – he was up for a RAP VMA. You put this basic b**** on the bill 2chainz?
Then she is doing another radio promo tour in the Boston area, as well as a show.
WHY?????????????????????????????????????? THIS S*** HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE JANUARY – SHE HAS BEEN COMING TO OUR COUNTRY EVERY WEEK ALL YEAR – WHY ARE THEY FORCING THE USA TO BUY THIS GIRLS MUSIC?
YO, we are american, we can’t be pushed around like this.
GQ america – without a single hit in the USA.
GQ might as well put Elle Varner on the front cover; she had a number 2 LP.
agree
Damn, just a year ago, the navy were up and through here callin Bey a flop. Guess y’all got yours. (the shade I just threw is so immense you could cut it with a knife.) LOOOOOOOL
Through straight back to their face
The Flop-Hive is delusional. Beyonce’s first single was NOT an R&B song but some overproduced, generic, repetitive, mind grinding reggae nonsense called “Run the world (girls)” and that s*** did not even scratch platinum. Nope, sorry, no excuses for Bey not having any single Hot 100 hit. Kelly Rowland did not have a Hot 100 top ten hit but she hit platinum, what is Bey’s excuse?
actually it was a euro techno dance beat / track. Another sad attempt for beyonce to plat catch up to rihanna, who has been doing eurodance since please dont stop the music 5 years ago – before america got on the dance trend.
most of the fashion blogs, make fun of beyonce trying to copy rihanna uber fashion. Even trying to wear deisgners, rihanna wears, without accepting the fact that, she does not have the body for them.
beyonce, in 2009, was trying to do edgy like rihanna, much to the amusement of the fashion crowd.
I cannot wait to see what sound and style beyonce comes with in 2013 – she is now in a tricky situation.
agree with you, bey was always the same
jelousy
….
@Benron B**** in what world has GGGB outsold Dangerously in Love b**** you must be on crack
His on crack
and these b****** act like GGGB was her debut album. GTFO.
People are also forgetting to mention that Talk That Talk had very little promo and it did well.
We Found Love 4x Platinum
Where have you been Platinum
You Da one Platinum
Talk That Talk – Single Gold
Birthday Cake Gold
Talk That Talk – Album Platinum
Island DefJam is happy with these numbers because the album with its singles has recouped their money with little effort and the irony in all of this is Talk That Talk is still charting where as 4closure has made its exit on pretty much most if not all the charts World Over.
The Flop-Hive will have to deal with the fact that even LOUD is still selling better than 4closure and that was released some ages ago.
Sony made a huge investment in 4closure, they planned out a barrage of music videos, concerts…etc and the album was supposed to span 2 years, it barely lasted 6 months. 4closure was a disaster, DEAL.
Good work coming with numbers. Barry weis runs def jam, he will be happy. TTT was made in hotels all over Europe – explains why it was rushed. Clearly, you are well versed on how the business world works, these fools resort to verbal abuse and petty name calling. They fail to look at the numbers from the eyes of the CEO’S who sign the checks and give the pink slips.
They use the she cannot sing card, but, singing has nothing to do with the music business. Sad, but true.
Your last paragraph made me laugh. It was hugely promoted ( 4) extensively worked on with a barrage of producers, and yes, it was meant to be the DIL. Not only did it crash and burn, but she could not a single number 1. Even one. I assumed we run the world was number 1 – it was so big budget – the video, that VH1 docu’ . It is sad how beyonce just fell apart like this. At least Britney flopped ( even though she outsells many ) cos she went nuts and lost her hunger and passion.
Beyonce, was on fire, I remember at the billboard, she was ‘ honored’ by michelle obama, all these legend 2011 was meant to be her year. Can u see why her new project is getting Rita Ora to take out Rihanna? Had Rih not taken over, it would of been about Beyonce
LOL 4 WAS promoted for 3 months went Platinum within 6 months and has sold 2.9 ww without a single hit.. AMMM how can you have a #1 single for 10 weeks and still your album could not debut at #1 or sell 200k nor it still hasnt sold 1million copies ummm should I mention 2 top ten hits sorry and still promoting TTT after 10 months and you have only sold 3,044,000 WW wow that should have sold over 5 million after all the promo TTT got hmmmm and still being promoted gurl bye… And dont forget to mention Loud is only selling in the UK where Rihanna sells the most I so done
@ StarBey
Mind you singles are not free so add up the figures.
With WFL being 4x platinum and two other songs going platinum with two other songs Gold and a Platinum album (Talk That Talk) VS just a platinum album (4closure), who’s numbers look better if you add it all up? I’ll wait.
And please do not also run away from the FACT that TTT has outsold 4closure Worldwide, BeyFLOP only sold more than Rihanna in the USA, everywhere else it underwhelmed.
in total, for 2011 to 2012 Rihanna has sold 11 million records for that year – and counting.She is still selling from TTT.
Beyonce has sold from 2011 to 2012 – about 4, may 4. 5 – maybe 5 million records from the four album.
11 million VS 4 million – yup! Rihanna has slayed her, they went to head and Rihanna one, on all fronts.
Beyonce is getting old and now peaked. Her daddy ( the brains behind her career ) is no longer in the picture – i feel that has cost her big time. she has competition from a younger, prettier black girl and people are tiring of her of 15 – last 10 being overexposed. 2001 She was everywhere.
It was gonna happen sooner or later. Only madonna, the beatles, MJ are acts that will on top till they stop making music, Beyonce does not have that one of a kind talent that they have, hence why they have outsold her and some on the list are dead.
I do not think beyonce will even get to 100 milion solo records sold.
This is why she has invested her time and money in Rita Ora, she is hoping Rita can take the shine of Rih, to make it easier for her to at least get her black girl crown back.
According to Billboard Beyonce has top 30 million albums in the USA… Look it up haterz
Way more than R****
Rih is only 24 though
And r**** has 6 lp vs Bey 4 I can’t with you dummy’s
ugh
I believe 100%, that the presence of another black girl doing music, movies, parfume etc have f***** beyonce’s s***.
It does not help that Rihanna is younger, sexier and better looking. Back in 2007? Perez hilton use to hate Beyonce with a passion; he loved Rihanna. He said that Beyonce was jealous of Rihanna because she is youner, hotter and prettier. I did not undertstand what he meant? Much more clearer now.
As Grazia magazine said…….rihanna has totally taken Beyonce’s crown.
We know you love beyonce. Probably her number 1 Stan.
Agree, Ri owns the crown
Poor Rihtards. Just now going platinum after 10 months despite WFL being #1 for 10 weeks? Teenage Dream was released in August and platinum by November.
But will katy perry still sell 7 years down the line?
meeeeh
The navy prove time after time that numbers and social skills aren’t they’re strongest skills…
What idiot in their right mind would think or say that Good girl gone bad has outsold dangerously In love. Lets be real Rihanna wasn’t an big artist till GGGB and loud not rated r carried that foward.
You really think Rihanna is ever going to see an 4xPlatinum(2x),3xPlatinum(2x),8xPlatinum in the Us in album sales? Never will happen.
Beyonce came saw and conquered if do you guys still not remember the slaying GGGB got from IASF..with 1#1 at that.
I like Rihanna but she only does well in the Uk(go figure their singers suck)nowhere else!!! Maybe a couple other European countries no where else!!!
So Adele who has sold 22 million records sucks? Emeli Sande sucks?? Paloma Faith sucks?? There is a seat waiting for you in the corner.
@BEYONCE’S WEAVE Dam you Clocked That tea for
@NAVYYJSTSSMH And on the same token when will beyonce see DIAMOND like Britney??????????????
Also, people keep saying she can’t sale albums, but her biggest selling album is almost triple platinum, and the one after that is almost double platinum. The rest are all platinum, and the other is gold, but that was when she first came out. She has sold albums. She may not do what certain folks want her too. But she goes platinum and has hit singles. For a person that complains about her lack of talent, Sam sure doesn’t have an issue making her the topic of discussion in every post. She’s good for those pockets huh… Talk about Rita Ora and others and see how many care…… If you’re tired of no talent artists, then talk about some artists that have actual talent, you don’t because they don’t make u money hypocrite…
@THE MAN great read!
Riri can sale much, i really think she is going to be more successful then now
Nsync sold 2.4 million in a week. I’m supposed to be impressed that it took this corny b**** 10 months to go platinum? LOL
F*** outta here with that s***. Didn’t nobody want Rihanna’s wack ass album.
We are over the 90´s sweetheart.
Nsync’s 2.4 million happened in the 2000’s, “sweetheart”. Now what? Rihanna WISHES she could see half of that.
Yeah but times has changed, everybody easly can dowload the albums for non now. You had not the oppurtunities in the 2000´s. you cant compare the 00´s to the 10´s, never. that was another hype then
Why are S*******’s fans super concerned about Rihanna’s sales? Of cource Thiefonce should have bigger sales because before solo, she was part of a group that has sold well. Rihanna had to do it as a solo act from the start.
Currently, here are the worldwide sales of both artists:
Whoreonce: IASF: 7M, 4closure: 2.1M
Rihanna: Loud: 8M, TTT: 3M
In effect, in terms of current global stature, they are the same, although Copyonce has been on constant decline since her debut as a solo artist (from 11M to 7M to 2M), while Rihanna has yet to stabilize her sales (it’s up or down dependent on the album 1m to 3M to 7M to 3M to 8M to 3M – a testament that she is still evolving). People are getting tired of one of them, one who had to resort to fake baby gimmicks.
@FLOPNET,,Bexause they can’t stand seeing and reading
about Rihanna’s many accomplishments!
rip king mj
Bill u rip…
Talk That Flop. Took 10 damn months to go platinum!!! PLATINUM! That’s a mere 1 million. Whereas other albums have gone MULTIPLATINUM in half the time it took Talk That Fail to go 1x platinum! ROFL
#I Can’t.
-.-
yep and u love it don’t u.
Rihanna’s sales figures are a joke. She averages platinum per album…despite it costing MILLIONS more to record and promote them. I’d be willing to bet that she doesn’t earn Def Jam a real profit from her s***, which is probably why they put out a new album on her every 9 months and she stays touring. If Rihanna dared to take a year off, she’s be in debt to everybody.
Her fans swear she’s some kind of “it”-girl, but I’ve never known any hot pop star who takes this damn long to sell a million US and not much more after. Even Loud — the album her fans like to boast about — has yet to see multiplatinum status.
She may as well just record free standing singles and abandon the album model.
@CZARM Perhaps to you but she still made bank and on tht
one list where she’s #3 of the highest paid i wonder if the
folks who didn’t make that list are JOKES?
GGGB SOLD 9 MIL WW Rihanna said it herself(horses mouth)
RR-3.4
LOUD-6MIL
TTT-3.2MIL
please DIL SOLD 8 MIL
AND IASF SOLD 7MIL(NOT MORE THEN THAT AND U CAN ARGUE IT BUT WITHOUT RECEIPTS JUST ACCEPT IT.)
BDAY 7.5-8MIL
4-2.9MIL
ALSO EVERY TIME RIRI AND BEY HAVE RELEASED AROUND THE SAME TIME RIRI HAS OUTSOLD BEY
please print the f****** reciepts out of a Canon DeskJet color printer where it says GGGB sold 9 mil and DIL sold 8?????? Rihanna couldve said it sold 20mil, youd believe the f****** horse then? DUMB.
Dangerously F****** In Muthafucking Love sold 11mil WW and 4.8 mil in the U.S. Dont be whitin out s*** to validate your illegimate reciepts.
@BLUE girl Dangerously in love have sold 11.2 million+ worldwide B.day 6.5 million+ IASF 7.5million+ 4 2.9 MILLION+ NOW GET THE F*** OUT WITH THOS WRON ASS NUMBERS
AND TTT HAS ONLY SOLD 3,044,000
Talk that talk to me allnight
4 has sold 2.9 million where? That album is out of all charts.
Beyoncé – 4
Columbia – 2,1 million copies
It was #10 on Year End Chart, how the hell it managed to sell + 800 000 copies? 4 is not even close to 2.5 million. Talk That Talk has passed 3 million weeks ago.
According to MediaTraffic, Dangerously in Love has sold 8 million + and Good Girl Gone Bad 7 +. And I Am Sasha Fierce and B’ Day have both sold under 7 million so stop lying.
B**** get you ass of WIKI for real when TTT was at 2.7 million 4 was at 2.6 now how the f*** can it be at 2.1 million

F*** HATERZ SUCK ON THAT
You people really can’t compare TTT to 4. Like seriously, you really can’t. TTT had how many hits and it’s just now reaching platinum.? She should have at least reached that status in a months time. Maybe even less. I would rather ride with someone who had no hits yet, she still did good in the first week sales than someone who had hits like a mofo yet, she still failed in the first week. You stains really need a valid argument. If not just congratulate rih and keep it moving. Congrats, I guess. Even though that’s not really something to celebrate.
@QUETTA as long as she’s cool with her label
then yo ass do not count.
Uhm..okay???
We just have to give credit where its due!! Albums are not selling like they used to these days..there’s only a handful of artists that reached platinum status and a few multi platinum (i.e. Adele, Taylor Swift and etc). Rihanna consistently putting out platinum albums and hit singles and still at the prime age of 24!! She accomplished so and still got a long way to go! Much love and respect to her!
yapp
The fact that you flops STAY bringing Beyonce into a Rihanna post as much as Sam stans and posts about her on TGJ shows how pitiful you all are and insecure as stans. Never do you see on a Beyonce post a Beyonce stan bringing up Rihanna for comparison. Its always the Fake-vy bringing up and bashing Beyonce to validate their illegitimate reciepts.
But if i may add, this is Rihanna’s 6th album and your comparing it to Beyonce’s 4th. Why? Beyonce’s first 3 albums have each outsold every album Rihanna has ever released. 4, which has arguably stopped selling, has still even outsold TTT, with no hit single, whereas TTT has had a #1, two top 10s, and two #20s. And please lets not use the bullshyt excuse that Beyonce’s name only carried her album. If thats the case, then Michael Jackson’s “Michael” album wouldve sold millions, just by the fact that his name is printed on the damn packaging. 4 was an R&B, whether you want to except it or not. That along with no hits singles caused its “lackluster” performance, according to BEYONCE standards and BEYONCE standards ONLY. If it were any other irrelevant brawd selling the name numbers 4 did, you b****** wouldnt be saying a damn thing. But the fact that Beyonce has the Fake-vy stans so pressed and threatened, her numbers are always brought up. Its like you all secretly stan for Beyonce but just wont come out the closet. Man the f*** up.
@DANNY And it’s yo ass and others who are on a Rihanna post
not the other way around, bytch don’t get it TWISTED. BEYONCE DO not have the NAVY no kind of way because we all have got a WORKING BRAIN, BOO,BOO!
Yes, she’ll never be like Rita Ora… meaning, an international flop, who can only secure hits in her home country, and is a nobody elsewhere!
Riri is a Megastar, i dont know who the other girl is though ….
10 month to go just platinum is a flop. No record label on earth spends millions to record and promote one of its artists and is satisfied with their album taking damn near a year to see this basic certification. Realistically, with the hit songs and promotion she’s had, TTT should be no less than 4x platinum US and 8-9 million WW. 1 million US and 2.5-3 million WW after nearly a whole calendar year is a fail. And looky, she’s recording yet ANOTHER album to try and cover this debacle.
Stop acting like the girl is “winning” when she barely breaks even. Bringing up other artists isn’t deflecting from the fact that number of whole albums RIhanna sells is mediocre. She only exists to be the face for a song that someone else wrote. A song that anyone can sing. She’s the definition of a “singles artist”, and no one makes money from singles artists except for the songwriters. If she didn’t tour, she’d be broke.
@JACKSON then something is bad wrong with yo
counting because i can name countless others who did not do as well as Rihanna have done with her over all career, Period, BOO,BOO!
Damn it took this long
Hey SYBIL
Beyonce shits on Rihanna all damn day and you people know it , I will say she cute but really in the u.k #justsayin
Some albums have sold in a month what it’s taken her all year to do. I refuse to be snowed by the “digital era” excuse. If your album isn’t at least double platinum, then it wasn’t a real success. And 3 million worldwide is far from impressive either. She should be over, at or at least nearing the 10 million mark, considering all the territories this album was promoted to.
This whole era has been poor. When you clear out the smokescreen, Rihanna’s sales figures never match the hype.
Beyonce is no queen. A real queen is able to conquer outside their country.Rihanna took over a whole country that she’s not even from.When has Beyonce? Never!
like that
She was never, but she is a talendet women, thats a fact
Bey is coping Riri hard
Talent doesn’t copy no talent.
Just sayin’.
C´mon, Bey copie alot of things Riri does, of course Bey is talendet but she has not a own style. Many of her Musicvideos or performances are copied !! And we all know that, even she is talendet
And the problem is that Bey thinks everything she copies istays undiscovered. You know what, i just watched today the making of of “hard” by RIHANNA and i saw so much Bey has copied for her Video in “Run the World” Riri was the first one who used flags With her first letter of her name and Bey copied her and she copied many other things …..these typ of things should be not stay undiscovered, it would be unfair though
LOL @ that Man Down performance.
I thought TGJ was exaggerating but no, it was bad.
She is singing so damn hard! Eyes closed an everythang!.
I still love that swagged out Bajan though
LOL at youself 🙂
Congrats to Rihanna, I dunno why people just can’t be happy for her instead of insulting her and just hurling abuse. People should be happy that a black female is on top in the music industry. As for you stans who love to compare Rihanna and Beyonce – they have no beef with each other so I do not know why a bunch of people who they DO NOT NOT KNOW are arguing over who is a flop and who isn’t…
grammar and spell check. thats all i have to say. tgj get your act together.
Well its official that Talk That Talk outsold 4 worldwide. You mad? How come Run the World did not get a Video of the Year MTV Award like We Found Love? It’s Rihanna’s time now and you h*** will deal!
Wow it took her many months to reach platinum!?
Btw VMA 2012 IS THE SLOPPIEST VMA SHOW EVER …COZ BEYONCE IS NOT THERE
