Both are touring power houses.

etc.



She's been outselling your fave for the past 6 consecutive years. I mean, have some dignity

Loud outsold speak now with ease.

Also taylor has never had an album sell more than 1.5M outside the US and 300K outside the anglosphere.

GGGB sold 6M abroad. Put that into perspective.

She's moderately successful in Europe. That's her weak market. But she's getting bigger there with every album. I wonder if she'll ever reach her full potential there tbh. Maybe by LP 6.

I could see it if she keeps selling out tbh. Like when Nicki did Superbass and Starships.

XO is so terrible. Drunk in Love is much better but it's still average.

XO > DIL

The Grammy snub still hurts

XO's production >>>

Taylor's music has more variety than JT's. And she writes by herself. Her fourth album didn't underperform. Her overall success is not based on her looks like JT's.

But yeah there are a lot of similarities.

Not Jay and Kendrick outselling Rih in the US and they are rappers who didn't have huge singles.

rap buyers> pop buyers

I was talking about total sales, not specific album sales. Taylor's sales in the past 6 years are higher than Rihanna's. And no, Fearless and Red sold 1.9 million each outside of the US, according to Mediatraffic.

She's just bigger in the US, than anywhere else. And lol at you not knowing any receipts. Do you even know how much Red sold in Asia?

Wasn't the Paparazzi/Telephone trilogy supposed to continue with a song from ARTPOP? What happened? Is Gypsy going to be it?

The only asian market with album sales is Japan. Taylor is local and she's not a factor anywhere else. Accept it and move on.

[Jaspurr]

The Lord is the most relevant artist in Asia where they don't use Rih at all. Poor your local faves.



Fearless certifications.

Isn't Jay Z going to perform with his wife?

NARAS head Neil Portnow, executive producer Ken Ehrlich and CBS EVP Specials, Music & Live Events Jack Sussman are doing everything possible to put together a great show. But absent from the talent lineup as of now are Justin Timberlake and Jay Z, two of music’s biggest stars, who were snubbed in the major categories, and whose presence on the telecast is crucial in the team’s concerted effort to avoid a ratings slump. CBS is in year two of a 10-year deal to televise the Grammys, shelling out a reported $60m annually for the rights—and the show’s ratings derive directly from the wattage of its combined star power. JT has turned down the invitation to perform.

Her career ended, that happened.

I really do honestly think Gaga called herself thinking she was above working with Beyonce again because of how 4 performed, little did she know that collab probably could have saved ARTPOP, along with the Azealia one.

And do you know how much Red sold there? Or you didn't bother to check before you said that she doesn't sell more than 300k outside the anglosphere?

Yes it is. It means exactly the same thing as "regardless".
