GaGa and Perry are just a few millions behing but with just 10-12 singles, they are the trully best-selling digital artist. |
FEATURES ARE NOT COUNTED. 
Of course Rihanna has over 20+ singles since she's been in the game since 2005 while Katy since 2008 and Gaga 2009.

She's a beast! And I hope Britney and Bey can catch up, the other artists are selling 8-10m each year while they're selling 5m  . |
Britney sold 7,5 million of digital tracks in 2011 in the US.

8. Jason Mraz – ‘I’m Yours’ 5,919,000
Holy crap, I hadn't known this has sold that much. With Jason Mraz releasing new material, I'm Yours should be pushed to 6 million sooner than later.

Nope, no matter what flawed logic you try to force they are not the best selling digital artists until they pass Rihanna.

Not sure about it, does he have so many hits as lead artist to sell that amount?

Yes, he does. Most of his singles are certified platinum or multi-platinum.

Exactly, if you just count the sales from her last 13 singles(from Russian Roulette to You Da One) you have less than 20 millions.
But that's ok, congrats to her, I just think that it's not "fair" (just to call it that way) since she've released more singles than -just to name a few- Britney, Christina and Beyoncé, that had been in the game for a decade.

I guess Rihanna never had that power because she's the only one between Adele, Gaga, Katy and Ke$ha to not have a 5 million-seller single.
