Me too. I was under the impression that it was a huge album with multiple #1's.
It sold 6M WW, and had 3 #1's and a top 10 hit.
We all know the USA isn't Rihanna's best market, I mean Loud sold more in the UK than in the USA ( ), so I don't know why the Hive is trying it tonight.
It's the biggest slice of the global market honey. Keep up.
That market makes up for only 25 percent at max for Rihanna's album sales. So clearly we aren't bothered. I am shocked that we can't celebrate B without including Rihanna. Can't I have some Beyhive friends. Like chill. It is hard with you.
Says who? Beyoncé is the first and only black female artist to go 2x platinum in 2010's decade and the only black female to get a multi-platinum album since her own album IASF – if another black female artist reaches that plateau, then the record will not exist like you say, but as of now she is the only one to hold such a feat.
Call it what you like, facts are facts and arguing with members going back and forth over them calling it a "record" seems a bit pointless
Beyoncé is an icon and a legend who holds many records herself, but a made up "decade record" isn't one of them. Her ACTUAL records deserve that distinction. If you think my basis of accreditation is silly, then don't respond to me.
Isn't it true that The Mrs. Carter Tour is the highest grossing tour by a black woman ever? A truly unprecedented achievement, a RECORD.
Can the Navy stop derailing this thread please, you guys can never let Bey have her moment without brining up Rihanna or Loud or a #1 single
Lets get back to Yoncé generating $32,027,970 of revenue from the only 2x platinum black female album of the decade
Just no.

at $15.99, this has probably grossed more than your faves last 3 discounted albums combined...
And what about LOUD? The Navy always made it seemed like that era was MASSIVE with sales... how much has it sold? I'm really asking.

And these are all before a Navy started talking about Rih and her stats.
You guys brought up Rihanna first.
Maybe you shouldn't start **** you clearly cant finish.
My sincerest apologies, I'm currently watching Legend B's critically acclaimed HBO special, I'll pause as soon as you let me know how to "finish" this mess I indirectly started.

It has nothing to do with WW sales. We are talking about the first multiplatinum album from a black female since IASF. Nothing wrong with the facts. I was just curious how such a successful album couldn't achieve this feat.
