I think SFTTR is closer to 4.7 million and SLY is around 5.8 million.

RITD is eligible for Diamond. I think SLY is, too.

I'm surprised SLY hasn't sold 6 million. It's not out there to say SFTTR could've outsold it under different circumstances.

Eventually, her album sales were going to start "hurting" its single sales, so the fact that she has four multi-platinum singles + a soon-to-be platinum non-single from a diamond-selling album is huge.

SFTTR did a lot with a live video + that random lyric video that is nearing 300M views.

Take a Bow is such a classic. They sing it at every Karaoke I go to.

Because people don't take her seriously. Kesha, too.

I think she will eventually.

Look at how much better Unconditionally did compared to Thinking of You.

They performed similarly.

"Wide Awake" has around the same BPM as "Take a Bow" and it peaked at #2.

Not that much better.

Especially because it probably had way more airplay

Wide Awake is not a ballad lol. Anyway, Rihanna has many more smash ballads besides TAB if you don't want to count that. Stay is probably the slowest song to smash this decade alongside STIUTK.

Thinking of You barely went top 30. It eventually went platinum over time partly because of Teenage Dream, but sales were better back then so it's not the same as Unconditionally.

New episode of Girls tonight

[MusicTalker]

RHI really suffered on the Hot 100 due to the album sales killing off the single sales, but it sold over 2M in total (I believe). It would've made a nice final Top 10 for the era but whatever. She clearly could've cared less about it.

It's ironic that the 21 era was so messily handled despite it out-smashing everyone else, lol. On top of everything else, she never released the should've been #1 Turning Tables.

I can't get into shows if I haven't watched it from the beginning. You may need to watch it from the very beginning. It's luckily has only been on one season, so you don't have that much to watch. It has a few duds, but the strongest moments outweigh those.
