All that and Beyoncé still won? Yikes.

but why is the Hive shading Rihanna? Beyoncé barely outsold Adele and outsold rih by just a little above ~430k.. |
The Navy mentioned Anti first. We're just responding. Y'all love playing victim.

There's no suffering when Rihanna is bigger and more global than your fave, with bigger record sales and overall streaming Enjoy those touring receipts as they last, you never know when media can turn against you, ruining your name as well as reputation.  Rihanna still slays with minimal effort, promo and contrived propaganda.

None of this matter cause Bey still sold more albums, singles, and tour tickets. And according to the UK YE, Lemonade placed a whole 20 places higher than ANTI and ha globalness.

She literally contrived a relationship with Drake for her last album, leveraged a relationship with her abuser for the one prior, utilised said abuser for the one prior and performed at the Grammys, Brits, Rock In Rio, Made In America. Global Citizen and the VMAs whilst Samsung broadcasted regular adverts for each phase of her album launch.
Minimal effort, promo and controversy indeed.

Its like they're making up scenarios that never happened.  A "Once Upon a Time in a Country FAR FAR AWAY" mess. Time to put away that fantasy novels and come read some history books chirrens. In 2016, Bey slayed all fronts with not a #1 single in sight.

Overall, Rihanna has sold more singles than Beyonce.  What about other albums? It doesn't change the fact Rihanna (as well as many other artists) are more global than Beyonce. Accept it and move on.

We get it, you've been pressed the entire era and this is just the cherry on the top. Run along now. |

Rih has two more albums than Bey and still hasn't surpassed her in album sales. And their averages per album is actually the same, well Bey's in slightly higher. And she has severely outgrossed her in WW tours. I mean, you could take away Bey's tour numbers from the US and she still would have surpasses your faves total WW gross. More awards, more acclaim, more sales, more tour revenue, more revenue PERIOD. It must hurt.
Edit: I mean, when y'all can have a convo that doesn't revolve around single peaks, than maybe the discussion would become more interesting.

Beyoncé's last two albums both topped more global iTunes charts than any Rihanna album ever has.
She also grosses substantially higher amounts on her global world tours.

Please stay on topic or move on and accept the fact that Bey won.Deal with the fact that the world moved on once your fave went urban, it's like karma for shading Bey all the time for being local despite the fact that she stuck to urban music when it was not the rave globally.
It 's hilarious to see the navy trying to compete with Bey in the US, a country they once referered to as local. You better thank your lucky stars that Bey doesn't play radio politics anymore otherwise the reciepts would have been more devastating.

Overall, Rihanna sold more records than Bey?! Overall like in her entire career?
Tell that to Bey's ~250 mio records sold.

This is great news, Beyonce must be getting her coins for all those accomplishments as you say. After all, she needs them for hype, media, those cute MVs to push her sales during her eras to come. 
Besides, I'd seriously like to know how many of those sales come outside the USA. That would be really nice information to know. |
Lemonade has sold 2.7M worldwide, with 1.5M of that coming from the US. So 1.2M from outside the US, 200k less than ANTi's TOTAL worldwide sales. I really hope you enjoyed that information, it's just more for the Hive to "brag" about.
