37m is a lie reported by some magazine which has nothing to do with music. She is at 22-24m. Might outsell Baby One More Time after her next album release.

Yes I know those 37M are inflated and don't exist ... I was just playing with him ... she hasn't outsold BOMT yet

More like Queen.

Marinate in it.

Well, it's hard to explain to you how Sales doesn't make something iconic. So it would make no sense to explain.

"Circus" sold more than "Music of the sun" , "A girl like me", "Rated R" and "Talk that talk" .... the 80% of Rihanna's discography

Loud sold more than Circus, was more acclaimed. Won more awards. With less hype. bow.

Umbrella + We Found Love

I guess you could ignore WFL topping the charts for over 10 weeks, selling over four million copies, and winning Video of the Year. But that would be stupid. We Found Love is on the same level as Bad Romance and BOMT.

omg

Billboard also crowned Rihanna the Best Pop Artist of the last decade. Or do you only use Billboard when its convenient for you?

Britney was the biggest selling female musician last decade tho

Rihanna has yet to have an iconic media moment (unless you count Chris Brown beating her one, which I wouldn't be surprised if the navy did, no shade). She has one Iconic music video and song (Umbrella).

Her singles sales may be amazing, but her album sales are lackluster.

Britney fits the whole package better, staying consistent with singles sales and album sales.

Basically, as long as Brit exists, Rih has no chance.

I love how the best comments in this thread are not even from Britney stans.

Well said

Yes.

We Found Love sold more than Bad Romance, so of course it's on higher level than Bad Romance.

"Toxic" was the biggest single of 2004 worldwide by a female artist. It topped the Mainstream Top 40, Hot Digital Tracks, Dance Radio Airplay, and Hot Dance Music/Club Play charts in the US. It sold 2 million in the US. A 2004 SINGLE. Charts were different then. It would’ve gone #1 today with those stats.

Rihanna encouraged in 2007 many many young girls to get the "bob" hair cut.

She has Man Down- Made it to CNN for the controversy

S&M banned in the UK

We Found Love, Umbrella - VOTY

Russian Roulette - lyrical content controversy.

need more? She's an icon.

Let me just leave this thread.

What I was trying to say ... is that an album like "Circus" which is an average album in Britney's career has outsold the 80% of Rihanna's discography.

and "Loud" success don't impress me .... You don't know and will ever know what are really impressive monster album sales.

Lmao. DRAG.
funny how they forget S&M was already a top 3 hit. Rih could have used Rebecca Black & it would have went #1

My fave is Rihanna, but Toxic was a much bigger hit than We Found Love (both in the US and worldwide).

Pop songs didn't do well in the Hot 100 in 2004, just the same as massive urban songs can't do well in the Hot 100 today. But they're still big hits.

Rihanna's iconic songs are Umbrella, What's My Name? and Love the Way You Lie.

Being iconic isn't just about sales, it's also about impact, how unique and memorable the song is, etc. We Found Love spent 10 weeks at #1, but it didn't have the impact that Love the Way You Lie, Umbrella or Toxic did.

this. S&M was already #2, something Britney could have never done with a 3rd single with no promo.

Leave it Duca. They don't understand. They think if Elvis doesn't have as many Facebook likes and Twitter followers as Rihanna (or any other celeb for that matter) then Elvis is irrelevant.
