1) I'm glad Rihanna is having fun in her own label, Barbados Beach Hut Records.
2) The "career is dead" jokes were cute in 2013 but they are so stale now when Gaga with ARTPOP's lashings is still more industry-acclaimed than Frih will ever be.
3) I don't know if they paid $25 million because they never publicized how much they paid. Amazon was not secretly working with Gaga to scam the charts the way Frih and Samsugn failed to do.
4) Gaga may not ever see Born This Way sales again but Born This Way outsold every Frih album sans Good Goat Gone Bad. ARTPOP is the first Gaga album Rih was able to trump whereas Gaga has three that obliterate all eight of Rihanna's albums in sales, and yes that includes The Fame Monster as an EP.
thankfully Tidal also says she sold 264M so all my information comes from a consistent source.
