Gaga is around 120 million records and Katy is around 135 million. What a mess of a list.

Taylor has sold like 170M record as of February 2015 and that's before Style, Bad Blood, Wildest Dream, OOTW and New Romantics. Not to mention, Shake It Off and Blank Space were still smashing and selling millions that time.

I knew 28 y.o Rihanna was close to surpassing Beyonce and Destiny's Child's record sales totals combined but I didn't know she was that close
Seeing how Anti outsold Lemonade in total record sales, this shouldn't take long at all.

Total records = singles + albums; in that regard it did sell more.

That list is an inflated mess
Also I don't really agree with adding group sales to solo sales when it comes to breakout stars. I don't ever really see people doing it with MJ.
Bey's stats can stand on their own without DC.
