THE ICON versus the wannabe

No competition. Rihanna easily!

Funny how the wannabe sold more albums and is worth more than the icon

Shes at 75.9mil singles in the US and 45s / BBHMM are currently perched in the top10

Wait queen! And that doesn't include features or album tracks either, so she must be around 110m records sold in the US after all

Rihanna ($144 million) + Miley Cyrus ($134 million) = Taylor Swift ($284 million)

Whose career would you rather have, Robyn or Taylor's?

Unless you think you'd actually care how many singles or albums you sold. Wake up and smell the difference in earnings.

Embarrassing lol. Billboard reported she had sold 48m singles in January 2012 and she has sold at least 20m singles since then. Add in her iconic features (which she made hits) + album tracks and her digital sales stand at 90m. Really, it isn't close

oh yeah?



Better Than Revenge Gold
Enchanted Gold
You're Not Sorry Gold
Crazier Plat
Only Me When I'm With You Plat
Speak Now Gold
Welcome To New York Gold
Out of The Woods Gold
Invisible Gold
Hey Stephen Gold
Breathe Gold
Jump Then Fall Gold
Forever and Always Plat
Two is Better Than One Plat
Half a Heart Gold
Both of Us Gold

now let see thats a minimum of 10M records +82.5 = 92.5

92.5 > 90

Glad we cleared that up

[Anticipating]

Rihanna.

Dr. Dre is worth more than Madonna, Mariah and Celine. Does he have a more successful music career than them?

Yes it does lol. It says Digital SONGS sales, not singles. I just demonstrated above there is no possible way for her to have such a high number without includinf those.

75.9m digital songs + 10.3m albums = 86.2m records

Still doesn't equate to 100m+ records sold in the US. How sad!

Just a btw Birthday Cake and TTT are both over 1m and you forgot the 1.5m selling You Da One and the gold Loveee Song
