They can stay mad, just like majority of you

It must hurt to not find your girls at the top of the list.

Clairebear, an effortless legend.

That's still averaging around 1.2 Million copies of every single she released tho. Not bad,

Its based off the individual sales of every track by an artist.

Without features.

If people havent gripped that by now then you need some simple lessons in addition.

While Rihanna leads in overall combined sales, none of her songs placed individually on the all-time list of top-selling digital songs.

Uhh, some of you are trying way too hard

Her first 2 albums basically didn't contribute towards her sales. We ride didn't even chart in the US. Then we have singles with mediocre sales like Pon De Replay, SUAD, Rehab etc. And when we add the messy dual releases and Rockstar 101 of course that her average sales will be low compared to her peers who haven't so many messy releases.
On what planet Umbrella, RR, R101, MD weren't risky?

Reading comprehension is a key. By combined sales, Billboard didn't mean "including her features" but her all singles combined.

Let me repost this from another thread to make it clear:

Some are slightly above or below the mark but within rough boundaries;

≈ 4 million (2): Disturbia, Umbrella
≈ 3 million (7): Don't Stop The Music, Take A Bow, Rude Boy, Only Girl, What's My Name, S&M, We Found Love
≈ 2 million (5): SOS, Unfaithful, Shut Up And Drive, Hate That I Love You, Hard
≈ 1 million (6): Pon De Replay, Break It Off, Rehab, Russian Roulette, California King Bed, Cheers
≈ 0.5 million (5): IILTYW, We Ride, Rockstar 101, Man Down, You Da One

≈ 47.5 million. Works out to be pretty exact.

Obviously there is rounding included.

But with features like LYL and LTWYL on 4million+ each, it becomes astoundingly obvious that features are not included. I hope that's clear now.

I was trying to say the same thing.

I know sorry, I was agreeing.

Rih has been on some high profile features, if they had been included she should be way over 60 million.

So if this doesn't include features, y'all are saying Lil Wayne sold 14m+ the past year?

Apparently so. I don't follow his discography personally...

It just seems a bit... off.

I love Rihanna though, she's obviously a single seller. Why are people even arguing?

Because her album sales are similar to her peers.

Features aren't included, how are people that dumb to not realize...

I don't even like Rihanna but if features were included she'd be over 60 million. And Lil Wayne would be well over 60 too.

Starkboy

The Queen

Haters stay pressed for another thread

Your favourites could never because if they'd release an album every year, they will flop, because they need hype, while my Queen not at all.

Yep, just like her blockbuster tour that's not over yet and $9million shy of a $100M gross, as she already announced she's going to Asia . You love it? You know of any girls who accomplished this at age 23 aside from Taylor? I'm compiling my accomplishment list and would love your input.

It's good for her, but that's nothing in comparison with what my fave can do

It's funny because it's true
