Blake looks amazing on the posters I've seen.

Lana's involvement

This logic holds no weight.didn't "beautiful liar" go #1 in 32 countries?

Not even Brazil, NZ, any random Asian/Latin American countries, anything.

Look at the countries it went #1 in, Shakira is the driving force in all of them (continental Europe, Latin America). I mean I suppose you could give Bén the US if it even went #1 there, but it didn't. #2 in Canada, #5 in Australia. Everywhere where Bén was supposed to push it, it didn't smash.

@ CIL being such a local flop and the Hive completely covering this up.

Tame Impala is the best thing ever.

sales>>>chart positions

Crazy in Love has always been overrated in the success department. Sure, it has iconicism attached to it but it didn't even sell as much as Telephone, Halo, or Single Ladies. Poor it.

And mess at Ghost Town pulling an American Oxygen. I was never expecting Adam to smash but he deserves success.

Chris has sold 9 million albums worldwide
Rihanna has sold 30 million
Its a beautiful day

I like Beyst but the majority of her "success" is just smoke and mirrors, not forgetting intangible "impact".

Must be why I haven't heard anyone mention it in more than a decade.

AIWFCIY only went number one in 6 countries
belgium, italy, hong kong, korea, portugal, hungary
none of which are major markets at all sans korea

Its still the most iconic female single ever (tied with IWALY and MHWGO)

Chart positions don't mean anything

Albums sold this decade:

Beyst <7M

P!nk ~9M

Katy Perry >10M

Rihanna 12-13M

Lady Gaga >16M

Taylor Swift > 17M

Adele >30M

Most top 10s this decade:

Beyst 2

Adele 4

P!nk 5

Lady Gaga 7

Katy Perry 10

Taylor Swift 11

Rihanna 15

The fact she's not top 5 in either department

EDIT: updated to include LEGEND pink

so girls is kanye the new will.i.am of producing pop girls album ???

Here for it if it means that Gaga works with him last and also comes up with the best song he's ever created!

i have theory...i think rihanna made a bet to see how many trashy songs can she put out and make them hits....it must be it cause.....

are you crazy???? he has lost his magic...now is trash

Haven't you heard? It's ok that she doesn't sell a lot of albums because she doesn't sell a lot of singles either. Can't believe this logic is lost on you.
