Poll: Bigger NOW: Rih vs. Selena? (US) - Page 3

MusicNews

As success growin' i think Selena
but per total, Rihanna overshadowes her.

SHICD

But it seems lately that Selena hasn't been able to keep her hits to herself? EXPLAIN how rihanna has sustained a similar success like that this era instead of just mindlessly laughing like you always do.

OT: personally, I think her singles have been more successful than all of rihanna's combined even though she's just a DISNEY artist. Rihanna, on the other hand, is struggling.

Because she's been promoting the **** out of her singles, while Rihanna hasn't been. What about this is even remotely confusing? Her focus was only on the album. ANTI was platinum in 24 hours, while Revival is still gold. Talent wins.

Can't dispute the argument I made, so you attack the fact that I'm literate

You do NOT just try it when a multibillion dollar company had to buy 1 million copies and gift them for the album to even be in more than 250K iTunes libraries. ANTI is not platinum by anyone's book. It still hasn't even crossed ARTPOP 1st week with SPS, and I'm guessing you can imagine what the pure sales must look like.

I'm sorry you feel attacked. I don't want to imagine how you'd feel if I actually did.

It's always been Rihanna. What a stupid thread.

Well let's compare their year.
YOUTUBE+SPOTIFY of:
F5S, BBHMM, AO, Work
= 1,012,598,962

Good For You, Same Old Love, Hands To Myself
= 926,889,226

Sales:
FFS has sold over 5M ww so...

Rihanna wins in both. Selena did great this era tho.

CarterTax

FFS has outsold and out peaked all of Selena's singles.

Anti opened up with better first week sales than Revival (pls don't insert tired 460 joke in reply to this post, thanks)

So you tell me?

FFS has literally outsold all of Selena's singles this era like...

Mezter

Queen RiRi is about to get another #1, so ha

Not people really trying to make a case for Selena

Kiddo.

460 vs whatever Selena did.

Selena >

SHICD

Oh, so now FFS counts when in the other thread it didn't? What about American Oxygen? It got a MV just like FFS, but no album just like FFS. Does that count? Is that also the lead single? Will rihanna be the first to have 3 Lead singles for an album they're not even on?

460 in a 15 minute leak.

Selena -> 85K first week / 7 days = 12,143 copies per day = 506 copies per hour = 8 copies per minute. She sold the equivalent of 126 in 15 minutes with her 4th quarter release.

Looks like ANTI still wins.

FourFiveSeconds, a "glimpse" into Rihanna's new music, outsold and out-peaked all Revival singles.

In the other thread, you were the one to bring up 45S. The song is not from ANTI, considering it isn't on it. However, the song is still a Rihanna single and is still bigger than any song by Selena on the Billboard Hot 100.
