iKatyCats is right, that list doesn't include features. I believe Rihanna has sold around 50m songs solo and around 70m with features.

ok then explain to me lil wayne's sales, because his albums that were released in 2004 and 2005 had no major hits and digital sales from that time weren't present. His hits after that period starting from 2008 include :
These are his certified songs in the US:
Lollipop:5xplatinum
A Milli:2X Platinum
Got Money:2X Platinum
Mrs. Officer:1X Platinum
Drop the World:2X Platinum
Knockout: Gold
Right Above It:2X Platinum
6 Foot 7 Foot:2X Platinum
JOHN :Gold
How to Love:2X Platinum
She Will:Platinum
Mirror:Gold (Even though it was certified after jan of 2012)
he's like at 20M, and according to the official list he's at
7.Lil’ Wayne 36,788,000
and lets add another 2M for his other non singles that haven't been certified even though they can't have sold that much and another 2M-4M because some of the songs have sold more than what they have been certified with a couple of hundreds of thousands and he will not top 30M and I am being generous with my estimations, so from where did the other +8M songs come from?
and the same case with kanye west

West has had 5 songs exceed 3 million in digital sales as of July 2011, with "Gold Digger" selling 3,086,000, "Stronger" selling 4,402,000, "Heartless" selling 3,742,000, "E.T." selling over 4,000,000 and "Love Lockdown" selling over 3,000,000 placing him third in overall digital sales of the past decade. He has sold over 30 million digital songs in the United States making him one of the best-selling digital artists of all-time
