My bitch is a legend

I thought this was saying U sold 10 mill i was about to say it sold way more than that

Queen

Such a ****ing legend

Nope, cause back in October 2013, Billboard reported that Taylor Swift had sold 70.6 million digital tracks, so Taylor's either #1 or #2 right now. Katy is #3.

Where did you get this info? I wanna check it out.

If Taylor was #1 Billboard would've reported it.

Rihanna is still #1.

Oh my god
IMPRESSIVE!!!!

Usually Rih's albums receive a gold certificate from Japan, did Unapologetic receive one?

All of them but Rated R and Unapologetic went Gold yes.

Unapologetic is around 65K-70K there. So there wont be certification this time

Thanks.

Yes, I didn't even include other numbers only from Unapologetic. As zzmyth said she's still #1.

Omg come on WMN and Rude Boy

Glad that Russian Roulette and CKB went plat

You gotta be kidding. A lot of those numbers are TOTALLY INACCURATE. I mean:

The last update for those singles happened on June 2, 2013. You added random numbers to the June 2013 updates that you think those songs might have sold since June, but there is no actual source that they have sold that much since the last sales update. These are very inaccurate estimations. For example, you can't just say LTWYL sold an additional 300k just like that when it has been out of the top 300 for ages. And this is just one example. There are a lot of songs on that list you posted for which you added additional, fictional 300ks, 400ks and 500ks with no actual source to prove that they had sold that much.

Anyway, the last time Billboard posted the list of top-selling digital artists was in January 2012 and has not updated it since then. They did not post an update when Katy passed the Black Eyed Peas or when Carrie Underwood passed Britney. So I don't see why they'd update us if Taylor passed Rihanna. What I concluded is that they don't post regular updates for that list, but just update the whole list every few years.

^^^ its called estimations for a reason.

Last time I estimated sales for an old Rihanna song it actually sold much more... for example... Paul Green never reported that Where Have You Been crossed the 2M mark and last time when we got figures it was at 2.2M.... same with Rehab... I estimated 800K and it was at 1.3M...

Songs keep on selling. And I added figures based on how they are charting on itunes.

Its not official and maybe sometimes its not accurate... but guesstimate means that.

I know they're guesstimates and all, but they're really off-mark imo. Besides, if Rihanna had surpassed the 100 million mark, BB would have reported. If that's not a report-worthy achievement, then nothing is.

Billboard NEVER reported Rihannas sales combining her collabos figures. So... until she crosses that mark without her collabos figures Billboard wont say a thing.

This thread isn't about Taylor hun.
