Speak Now sold less WW than Red. Fearless is her biggest WW album.
I've put out the question regarding Speak Now WW figures. If I get the answer, I'll post it here.
Taylor's sales numbers are generally reliable, simply because she is biggest in markets that actually report data on sales. US, UK, Canada, Australia, Japan. So we can assume that we have a very good idea of her actual sales.
Someone like Rihanna is a lot bigger in markets that don't reliably publish sales data. So it makes it very hard to actually give accurate WW sales data for Rihanna compared to Taylor. I also think that many people overestimate the amount of sales artists actually get in many markets. Many countries that are large and influential in other ways actually have music markets that are tiny compared to UK or Japan, never mind the US.
