But keep clinging to it like your fave on an abuser

Someone is mad lol. And it didn't sell 2M WW and i was talking about all her album sales anyway.

Red didn't sell 2M outside the US. Barely 1.5M and they come from 3 countries mainly anyway.

Also beyonce her tour kinda makes up for her abysmal album sales but Taylor has nothing

Red sold 6 million worldwide. - 4 million from the US = 2 million.

Taylor sold more than Unapologetic in the US alone. Like who cares where the sales come from? She made more money.

BEYONCÉ era didn't have any promo outside US/UK, very different of RED era that she went everywhere, she promoted even in Brazil

So? Artists are supposed to promote their music, good for her. Her effort paid off and she had the much bigger album. Just because Ms. Knowles chose not to promote doesn't mean BEYONCE had all this untapped potential that somehow would have resulted in much higher sales. She had NO hit singles (radio said NO, buyers said NO) and poor album sales in all those countries where Taylor did promote and did well. Even in the countries she DID promote in, it had barely any effect ("XO" barely moved in the UK despite a BRIT Awards performance), the vast majority of the sales came from those 10 first iTunes-exclusive-no-unbundling days. Promo doesn't save an album destined to tank, as ARTPOP showed us.

Who cares about the money? Rihanna's music was heard all over the world. Poor taylor!

The navy should worry more about Slayty Perresa officially snatching the digital queen crown from Rih, they cannot deny it anymore

If you are truly global/legend you don't need to promote
And your albums/singles don't flop

With Roar officially becoming a bigger global hit than any Rihanna song and Katy selling more albums, singles, and tour tickets than her...

76 Roar - Katy Perry
Capitol - 2013 - 9.396.000 points

82 We Found Love - Rihanna feat. Calvin Harris
Def Jam - 2011 - 9.246.000 points

[rihannafan]

[G.U.Y. Gaga]

Una is the only Rih album I absolutely dislike
