Exactly. We had a thread like this before and I said the same. I believe Ashanti's sales for her debut were bigger too. Once Murder Inc. fell apart Ashanti's career started to fade.

No rihanna did BUT Ashanti's last 2008 album is better than most of rihannas albums sooo...

Ashani's career began dying waaaay before Rihanna's career even started

Beyond Say

Yes.

"It was on a warm humid night, in late June, Ashanti's Career was on its way to a party... As soon as it walked out the door and into the driveway, Beyonce lept out from behind the bushes wielding a butcher knife. She cornered poor, helpless Ashanti's Career, who tried to fight her off, but was no match for Beyonce's insanely rage. Beyonce plunged the butcher knife into Ashanti's Career's beating heart repeatedly, until it beat no more. Ashanti's Career's screams could be heard--as well as Beyonce's maniacal laughing as the blood of Ashanti's Career splattered all over Bey's pretty face and weave. As it breathed its last breath, A.C. whimpered one last "Help Me!" and Beyonce ran and jumped into a getaway car that was driven by Matthew Knowles.'

Records/Achievements

Guinness Book of World Records,

She is most famous for her eponymous debut album Ashanti which featured the hit song "Foolish", and sold 503,000 copies in its first week of release in the USA in April 2002, a record-breaking feat. It was the highest first week sales for a female artist's debut ever. Until Susan Boyle's first album came out, now she's second.

In the same week, she became the first female performer to simultaneously hold the top two places on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart with "Foolish", and "What's Luv" (with Fat Joe).

She broke records again by having three Top Ten songs (Foolish, What's Luv, and Always on Time (with Ja Rule)) on the Billboard Hot 100 charts in the same week. Only The Beatles have achieved this. Ironically, Ashanti wrote and sang background on the song "Ain't It Funny" sung by Jennifer Lopez which was also in the top 10 charts at the same time as "Foolish", "Always on Time" (with Ja Rule), and "What's Luv" (with Fat Joe) so the singer actually had four top 10 singles in the top ten.

(2009)According to Billboard.com, Ashanti has had the most top 10 songs (16 to date) on the R*B/Hip-hop charts by a female this decade.
