But if sales were weighted more than radio, I swear the chart run of a lot of riri songs would look so much worse...you would really think her songs were huge sellers but they aren't and I just don't get it

Most Rihanna singles are guaranteed like 30 million extra AI than normal pop stars, because she always crosses over to rhythmic (and sometimes urban) in a massive way, whilst the other pop girls don't really (except Nicki and Beyonce). That's why he songs have such high airplay, especially What's My Name?, since it was massive on all three formats.
Katy, for example, struggles to cross over to rhythmic. Her only song that did well on rhythmic was E.T. (which is why it had such a high airplay peak).
Where Have You Been at #3 on pop still, and still #1 on rhythmic. And only #14 on iTunes. Ouch.
