Why would Madonna fans be seething. Infact, Madonna fans are supportive of other artists and we need to send out a very big CONGRATS to Riahanna.

At the same time tho, let's not OVERestimate this.

The Uk isn't the biggest music market in the world. It's not the 2nd biggest either. It's an amazing achievement for sure but it's not worthy of the title Queen.

All credit to Rihanna when it's due and I'm extatic for her.

But Remember, the UK is but one country in the WORLD.









The forever one and only real queen of pop has worldwide records your faves dream about breaking.

it isnt though
thats why katy perry etc arent on the list
it really is more difficult everyone just illegally downloads its great to see her achieve this

hey we all love madonna no one is shading her so this is unnecessary but rihanna will surpass her if she releases 3 consistent albums

Not in the world wide territory.

Amazing!

Legend.

Madonna is the White Rihanna

Good for Rihanna. She's had an amazing run of singles success that is unmatched in today's pop climate.

OMG she's selling SO much

Nice attempt, her album sales match, she sold about 3.5 million album there this decade.

singles..

Read the post above yours and seethe

Wow, congrats to Rih


I really would love to see the albums version of this list, purely for Robbie Williams

ICON among Legends

""

They should really separate these by digital and physical since they're totally different and physicals sell less on average. It wouldn't lessen Rihanna's achievements because then she'd move up to #1 digital single artist of all-time in the U.K.

That's bananas! Hats off to her.

Who doesn't love Rihanna? ICON's impact is undeniable.

3.2+ million to go. She'll do it.

Queen tbh.
