Rihanna was second there yup.... But she lost them with TTT... Not like she does terrifically bad.... But she used to sell those singles like hotcakes.... Anyway... Diamonds should be able to get to 3xPlatinum
She is still popular just not as major as she was before. I think it's cos we prefer her dance songs compared to the urban
Rihanna is ahead of M5 in both streaming and sales, but AI is the biggest factor out of the 3, M5 is so much ahead of her, but like you said, sales will make up for it.
LOUDR, that would be , last year, we have TTT and WFL #1 in the UK while WFL #1 in the US, and now, its gonna switch hopefully, Both #1 album and singles in US, #1 album in UK this time around.
