Writing their own songs doesn't have anything to do with it though, Rihanna & Whitney don't write **** and they're 2 of the best-selling artists of their respective generations
Sex also doesn't matter if the best selling album since idk? 1997? Is by a female

Even if we don't include the features, Ariana is still a more commercial and lucrative artist than either of these two. Her album was also streamed more than either of their albums. She made more of a global presence this year, by promoting across various continents...including make a huge splash in Japan.
Album sales don't tell the full story.

except that even with the TEA's for single sales, she's not touching their album sales, she's literally sold about 1/3
also Ariana's streaming #s are a lot lower than Ed's who is an actual streaming monster especially on sites like Spotify. She might be tied with Ed but that would still leave her album sales as previously stated at around 1/3rd so no album sales may not be everything but if she's behind in streaming too....
Streaming + Album sales >>>>> single sales

This also doesn't really help your case if she can't push albums/singles/streaming
