But it sold 1 million illegal downloads

the same time as ciara's!

If you take the 100,000,000 people who didn't think her album was good enough to buy and just bought the single, and calculate that next to the 7,000,000,000 on Earth. That means for every 1,000,000 people who know Rihanna is, there are 7,000,000 people who don't know. Check my math at 10%

Useful enough to get people angry!

The singles charts are relevant, albums are only there because I can reuse all the code and because zzmyth once asked me.

Do you even read what you post?

Just because y'all were too ignorant or living in a cage eating oodles of noodles for dinner to know who an act was doesn't mean "normal people" didn't know who an artist was or that people are giving an act too much credit. Some of you say some of th stupidest ****, and it's sad coming from Janet and Velvet Underground stans.

Yes, the year she wrote the national anthem.

#disqueen.

yet she still managed to sell over 2 million albums on her name alone, unlike rihanna, who goes to the hottest producer in town and ***** out another "global smash" only to open with piss poor sales and barely scrape by beys numbers in the end

i mean youd think we would hold the number one black artist worldwide to a higher standard

The most successful female artist of all time!
