This is not an achievement, considering it spent weeks on top of the Hot 100 sales should be much higher.

I mean I don't want to be a hater, but 2 million is like cat food these days with a digital single, especially when it's the hit of the album.

Go away, haters. Lady Gaga fans open a thread even if Gaga sold one copy. "BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!!!! TEETH SOLD 3 COPIES THIS WEEK!!"
Rihanna deserves her pride and we, her fans, shall celebrate considering Rated R era is about to end.
If you got nothing to say, then don't. Bye.
Rihanna fans, be proud of our girl! The Queen of the Digital Era!

A lie.
I don't know where Rihanna stans get their receipts at. 
Beyoncé hold the record for most weeks at #1 by a female artist with 36 weeks @ #1 if we're counting since the last decade (which is probably what they counted and failed) and Mariah overall with 79 weeks and Mariah is also tied with Elvis for most weeks by both male or female artist.

As Satellites said, you wrote this up yourself. And so? It didn't do it YET, making this thread invalid.
And as you can see, I scratch my head at her being the female artist with the most weeks at #1 and "Take A Bow" being the 3rd highest with 267,000. I already saw that was copied straight off an old wikipedia page. 267k is not the 3rd highest for overall, nor female seeing as "Today Was A Fairytale", "California Gurls", "Womanizer", & "Touch My Body" all came before it.
