All of BEYONCE is generic Electro-R&B and XO randomly thrown in there

Except Bey has already done the whole music video thing with B'Day. That's nothing new.

The intial release of B'day was not a visual or concept album, so no, your comparison is invalid. Whether it is anything new or not, it doesn't take away from the effort anyway.

XO didn't even reach the top 40 and DrIL is not even platinum yet (?). Baé knows she would have flopped harder that 4 with a traditional release.

DIL is almost 2x platinum and Beyonce has already outsold Rihannas last two albums without even performing or promoting.

Another fad who was bigger than Rihanna at their peak, can get more than 1 #1 album, and has better touring grosses. Poor Rihanna, singles can only make you look good for so long.

You forgot that she outsold him in albums field as well. Like two times.

If yhaving so many #1 albums means you ending you like a fad,
I think I'm quite happy that Rihanna has only #1 so far.

The self-embarrassment

Columbia Records ‏@ColumbiaRecords 22h
@Beyonce's "Drunk In Love" ft. @S_C_ has been certified platinum by the @RIAA.

Worry about "Urinal" getting outsold both in the US and worldwide in a matter of months

I'm surprised the BeyHive have let them go on with arguing about this for so many years.

I'm more surprised that it's even a discussion.

You're not understanding. If she was less active during 2013, people would have forgot about her. Instead she did everything she could to keep herself in the GPs consciousness with her inaugarations and Superbowl, Oprah and documentary pepsi w/e. along with the "leaks" of I Been On, SOTS etc to tease her base. She was promoting her brand. And both her brand and album are self titled so you can put 2 n 2 together no?

Not you dumbing it down for them I still don't think they will get it though.

Lol Rihanna has 7 studio albums, vs. Bieber having 3 studio albums.

"My World 2.0" released in 2010, still went 3x Platinum in U.S. + sold over 6 mil WW. Rihanna been around since damn 2005 + her biggest album is only 2x Platinum in US, and 7 mil WW. Mind you, this was with like 10 smash singles and 2007 album sales.

So this morning on KIIS FM I heard a Target ad for Shakira.

Which means you prefer her music, which makes her a better music-ian.

DIL is at 1.33 million. It won't outsell Demi's Heart Attack.

[jose168]

Beyonce era will cap out at 4mil without a memorable hit, which is cute but it will be forgotten because no one will remember a song to associate with the era (especially outside the US). Unapologetic only sold 500k less (which the GP could care less about) and has 2 strong memorable hits that can arguably become classics. Rihanna won

But it was a Target ad? Not iTunes?

I'm glad you think my music taste is so superior.


This also means Ke$ha is a better artist than Rihanna, since I listen to her more and own more of her work.

[Javan]

And what's this talk of no promo? So I didn't see her iTunes advertisements on British Prime TV after Xfactor December 13th?
