It's also impressive that she's still going the strongest out of all the artists in the top 10. It probably helps that she doesn't have one single smash that sold more than anything else- she reliably shifts good amounts of everything.

This is impressive but she's released more albums than some artists have released singles. And does it include her features?

Ke$ha will most likely make the list with her next era.

!! Between all the singles she releases, the collabs and how frequently she releases material in general it's almost automatic that she would be the fore runner. If she has more material in general of course she's going to have the most sales But I suppose. Anything to get up! Punch Rih

OK YOU TROLL.
Do you know how many singles Gaga released off of The Fame or Beyonce off of 4 or I Am? Rih is not the only one.

I know I wasn't tripping. I thought Taylor was #1 last year, but Taylor practically faltered in 2011, which made way for Rihanna to jump over her.

I want to remind you all that Rihannas first two albums have only 6 million downloads from all the singles. Its really the last four that made an impact.
