Quote:
Though Rihanna's sixth studio album, Talk That Talk, lagged in its first week compared with previous release Loud, which bowed at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 with 207,000 units sold in December 2010 (Talk That Talk came in at No. 3 on the Nov. 30, 2011, chart with 197,000), together the two projects gave Rihanna a strong 2011. Thanks to a slate of hits-including Billboard Hot 100 No. 1s "What's My Name?," "S&M" and "We Found Love"-she sold 14 million digital tracks and 1.5 million albums. On the road, Rihanna's exposure to the domestic market was limited: Of the shows reported to Boxscore (11), she grossed $7.1 million and sold 111,704 tickets.

#20 Michael Bublé
$9,027,177
Looks like Michael came for that #1 on the Billboard 200, AND Rih's money position.
But wait, if Rihanna isn't fading, why is she making less money than Taylor, Gaga, Adele, Katy, Britney, and Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band?
