An unreleased album track as you've mentioned, irrelevant to my statement
Also currently on iTunes:
30 P!nk - Just Give Me a Reason (feat. Nate Ruess)
74 Rihanna - Stay (feat. Mikky Ekko)
When True Love takes off in a few weeks, I don't think you'll need to calculate the numbers to see the difference

You just stated that it was a "track" not a single. We are talking about the singles here.
There is no way to know how many album tracks have sold from either one. Just including one to make your fav win is tacky.

At the Urban, R&B/Hip-Hop, category being completely dismissed but AC being considered. 
If anything, Rihanna has more diversity amongst her audience.
Try harder.

I don't know why y'all keep putting pink on some pedestal like y'all Stan for her cuz she has some good album sales this year like regardless of pinks success rihanna is the bigger star in the u.s and around the world....did pink makes Forbes or times most influential like ever........hasent she been out since 1999 shouldn't she be above and beyond rihanna who's been out since 2005 and 25.....we all know rihanna is bigger as a whole so this is dumb, it should be an insult for pink to be compared to her like she's been out forever and been very consistently succesful but its not ... That alone proves whos bigger.....did pink make rolling stone new immortals lost, has she Ben been on the cover , has she won more grammys than rih, or awards in general......oh

Also, I just noticed this but MESS at Grin Toll talking about recent singles but FAILING to include True Love in his 5 most recent singles tally to include RYG 4+ million stats instead. As Waffle put it, how "tacky. "
So it looks like 3 POP singles & 1 Urban (Category that Grin Toll doesn't think exists) single from UA vs 4 POP singles from TTAL.
Oop, Rihanna still wins.
Try, try, try.

You're right about this, Pink has zero to none credibility in the urban music scene
I meant to talk about age diversity. Their radio history suggests Rihanna has a younger audience.

True Love went for pop adds just this week and hasn't debuted on Hot 100 whereas Right Now was officially released more than one month ago and heavily promoted through commercials for the 2013 NBA Playoffs and Budweiser

P!nk is like 10 years older than Rih. So of course course she targets more older people than Rih. Also, she's been in the industry for longer and her fans have obviously gotten older with her. While her Pop hits may have garnered her a couple teens here and there, the age range of her audience is mostly housewives hence why she mostly caters to AC.
