Mess @ comparing those full-on country albums to Taylor's first 3 albums which were heavily catered to both country and pop audiences. Crossover albums always sell massive amounts, e.g. the 7x platinum Some Hearts which Taylor has yet to outsell

UM EXCUSE ME you specifically said

Lol her country albums are the reason she became such a big US album seller in the first place, aka the only thing Taylor stans can even brag about

don't go changing your story now, swallow it and pick you words better next time



And like Some Hearts didn't benefit from being launched from American Idol

she has actually out sold it (or close to) Fearless is 7x Plat as well and has been since like 2010

you lose again

Smh you know what I meant, her country albums were made to crossover and get her the biggest album-buying audience possible, and they've been loyal to her since.

Fearless - 6,864,932 (updated 11/19/14)
Some Hearts - 7,333,936 (updated 8/1/13)

Still has quite a way to go!

I mean Rihanna outgrossing Taylor with just two dates, in Taylor's big market Asia, gives you the clear picture.



But dwell in those receipts from one country sweeties

UAE is Rich as **** anybody that goes there would make out like a bendit but slay that 1%, live dangerously

[Afferty]

rih obviously

[Cain]

Rih has been known around the world since SOS, and became a full on global superstar with Umbrella

I had never heard of Taylor Swift until the Kanye accident, and so did most people outside the US

She's only began having a WW superstar career since IKYWT

Taylor is slaying rn, but Rih has been slaying since 2007 and she's still a lot bigger in Europe, South America and Africa

[Dollas n Diamonds]

All this talk about who is relevant where is irrelevant to the question

the facts are Taylor makes more money, been awarded more awards, and has more acclaim

yeah thats more like it still seems kinda low tho

Congrats Carrie

[T.C]

Taylor
Bigger album sales
Bigger net worth

Rihanna's success is overrated, end of.

[Bounce]

At the end of the day, Taylor sold more albums, grossed more in tours, more acclaimed, worth more etc.. and with less albums and tours.. Whoa! Queen.

If you were so sure about it why then make a poll (which she lost), you could have kept it to yourself

I'm sure Taylor can handle losing an ATRL poll with her 35m albums and 350m+ grossing in tours and her net worth + her acclaim.

Taylor obvs. Consistent and ever growing

I think Taylor has always been successful but she still has yet to reach the type of Influence and star power that rihanna has.

When it's all said and done Rihanna's music/style and career will be more talked about.

Even now during her successful era Rihanna is more talked about.

Talk about extreme delusion... None cares about R8 era. Lead single did not even go #1. That spells trouble for a girl who is so singles oriented...
