DEAD's album is gonna have 1/3 the longevity and single success of Rihanna's. So yeah, she will have SHALES too, even though she released her album at the worst possible time to be successful, she did it.
Christ has 7 albums. McRetire has like 30 and has been along for way longer, so bragging about pre-2000 sales against him like that's supposed to be an achievement . I'd hope she'd sell more considering those factors, especially since her genre usually sales more than R&B material anyway. I'm pretty sure Royalty already outsold her most recent album last year. He's been successful even with his record so that's also irrelevant. Labels still reach out to him for collabs. He's still getting hit songs. He's still getting awards. He's still selling over 150k first week. And also he's drug-free & not in any danger so he'll be around for a while caring for his daughter
Death isn't a thing to joke about fam, cuz you never know Til It Happens to your fave. Stay blessed.
Yet Reblord is the one of the Best-Selling Artists of the Soundscan Era, and has sold more albums this millennium than Fist. Reblord also is/has:

She's obviously slaying her competitors, even Fist. Nothing will change the fact (market, genre, sex, lack of criminal record), that comparatively, Reblord is more successful. She's more acclaimed. She's had more impact; impact beyond attacking another human being. You can divide Reblord's album sales by four, and she'll still outsell Fist. Reba's Greatest Hits compilations have outsold Fist's entire discography. Reblord's success also spans into TV and film, areas that Fist will never be able to break into because he lacks TALENT and ETHICS. Keep playing for the losing team though!
