Rihanna has sold over 190 million SINGLES alone, and over 30 million ALBUMS so she should be almost there.

Definitely the closest in the poll.

Taylor will also reach it.

I think all the receipts page makers only use low estimates. Haribo says his real estimation is around 230m for Bey, but he only posts provable low-end stats.

Is Bey's number including DC?

Of course and billboard doesn't recognize it as one but stans do and the receipts thread for it has double counting and information that isn't supported.

Look at the OP. There was more to the intent behind this thread.
that said, if Britney is able to manage a few more hits I think she will come the closest but if not I see taylor getting there 1st or 2nd, Britney 1st of 2nd then Beyonce, rihanna etc.

That's obviously including DC. Haribo is pretty reliable.

When did Billboard start tracking worldwide sales? I mean according to them Britney has 100 million albums but we know that's not true.

Taylor is undercertified in most countries especially Asia. I mean 1989 sold over 20K (platinum) in China in just a ****ing single week and it was #1 for 11 weeks there. Even Speak Now certified 6xP in Indonesia and not to mention 1989 is much bigger than that.

You mean one that uses shipments for album sales and adds streams to single sales?

How can that be compared to pure sales for other artists?

Rihanna has actually sold 100m singles in the US though and her ww single sales are, for the most part, double her US sales. 220-230m for her total career sales including albums is not far off at all

You do know that Youtube is counted as streaming, right?

And her album is available on other formats than Spotify. How do you think "Wildest Dreams" got certified Gold at like 445k sales?

We love Rihanna. Both have impressive record sales & dominated two very different eras.

Rihanna HAS sold 100m+ singles in the U.S if you count her features. If you want a number that has her U.S single sales as a lead artist it was 75.9M as of March 30 2015 according to Billboard. Since then FFS, BBHMM, and AO have sold ~2m (FFS had been out for a month by then) so it's safe to estimate Rihanna's U.S single sales as a lead artist at 78M.

Now if you add
Love The Way You Lie (6.4M)
Live Your Life (4.7M)
The Monster (3.8M)
Run This Town (3.5M)
Take Care (1.6M)
Fly (1.5M)

You arrive to 78M + 21.5M featured singles = 99.5M singles sold in the U.S including featured. Add on her flop features like CRTFY, Who's That Chick, and All of The Lights that I cannot find sales for and you will comfortably surpass 100M.
