it's pretty obvious Taylor wins regardless what the delulu's on atrl think not only because of comment sense but also cause the Nhevi + Kats can't come up with a proper argument past : lol Rihanna, Rihanna her impact, but Taylor's local??
this was fun tho

= 85,319,827 digital songs sold in the US, and these are a year and a half old receipts which would likely bring that total to around 87-88 million NOT including many of her features or big selling album tracks like Breakin' Dishes, Jump, and Nobodies Business. It also doesn't include What Now, Raining Men and If I Never See Your Face Again. As I SAID, she is above 90m total track sales and 100m records total in the US.  Bye! |

Taylor of course. She got SIO and BS went to #1. What was Rihanna's last hit tho? And tours? Taylor's a force. With album? Still Taylor. With Grammys? Taylor can get them in her name alone. Sorry

Taylor is more successful overall, and with less output.
If you want to get obsessed with being "global" as ATRL does, the only continent where Rihanna has a clear advantage over Taylor is Europe. Taylor is more successful in North America, Asia, and Australia. I don't think either are particularly big in South America or Africa?

Taylor Swift 82M Single sales + 10M album track +Feature sales = 92.5M+ minimum

Rihanna has 21 number ones in South Africa, not to mention her last album sold 80K there as well as selling out two stadium dates, or when she's played for a 140K crowd in Morroco

Isn't this logic a bit foolish when Rihanna has 13 number ones, while Taylor has 3?

Actually there are plenty of arguments clearly you just fail to see them 
The poll result speaks for itself *deal with it gif*

Rihanna 57 Singles + 7 Albums = 120M+

This has already been CLOCKED as Rihanna is bigger in Asia and South America and 1000x bigger in Europe and Africa. Taylor her slayage in the two Anglo markets though! Queen!

This made me realize Taylor has sold only like 30 million records alone everywhere else, she really is local

We've already been through this, Japan and the Philippines =/= the entirety of Asia. Rihanna does very well in those countries in addition to slaying the Middle East and pulling in $3-6 million per show there while Taylor is literally unknown
