I really love Rihanna but it's threads like this that get me in trouble with ATRL-o-matic.

Please stop.

When was the last time Rihanna had a single as big as "Roar?" 2011? When was the last time Rihanna had an album as big as Teenage Dream? 2007? Katy's biggest market may be the U.S., but she's been so much bigger here than Rihanna recently that she's eclipsing Rihanna's WW success.

Diamonds was bigger than Roar internationally. And Rihanna sold more albums than Katy in 2010, 2011, and 2012.

And to say she needs to catch Britney's numbers? Femme Fatale only sold around 700K with a #1 hit and a top 3 and three top 10s total. Both Unapologetic and Talk That Talk outsold it with two top 5 hits.

Yes

[Cola.drinker]

Yes she slays her peers with "her artistry" and albums which are made in 3 weeks in recording studio.

Rihannas only competition nowadays are miley and katy but they have a lot of catching up to do especially considering rih has sold more albums than both of them combined. Has more grammys than both of them combined. Has more number ones then both of them combined. More singles sold than both of them combined. More vevo views than both of them combined. Etc etc

I give you WFL and Loud but Roar is on its way to outsell Diamonds and Stay in US and WW and maybe even WFL so let's not.

Lol BYE

Diamonds did EXTREMELY well WW especially in the europe where it became her biggest hit yet ..It has sold more than 8.5 M WW copies to this date ..Stay is at 6-7 M...just look at the WW peaks of Roar and Diamonds

[zzmyth]

She is definitely outlasting some 'pop-legends'

its more embarassing that her us sales make 90% of her total sales

Not when 45% of Red's total sales come from outside the US + nothing to be embarrased about when you're the biggest star in the biggest music market.

Taylor Swift says hi.

[RomanNavy]

Yes there is simply no competition

Incredibly. This new batch is horrible.

I agree. Trying whatever they can to discredit Rihanna when she has sold over 12M albums since the turn of this decade and has had 7 global smash hits since 2010. Her tour will gross over $100M for the first time ever, which is an improvement from Loud's solid tour gross, and people still can't say she is only getting bigger.

This thread already is amess...

But yes the question is yes

And every time, she slays more with them, than artists who work 2-3 years on a album/lead single

what kind of DELUSION?

WFL, Diamonds and even Stay all sold MORE WW, Loud outsold TD WW without being re-released so check yourself before u wreck yourself ...and I wont even start with the touring receipts

I could've sworn WFL was released in 2011. And "Roar" is well on its way to outsell "Diamonds" and "Stay" by a good margin. And Loud has sold less than 6 million. Teenage Dream is at a higher number and getting better catalogue sales, which is about to rise thanks to the release of Prism.

Nnnnnn;; BYE. LOUD was bigger than teenage dream. Come back when Katy sells out stade de France & has a tour as big as the diamonds tour :

LOUD has sold less and its single sales are considerably lower. How would that be "bigger?" I'm sure Katy's next tour will be considerably bigger than her last, though she may price her tickets with double digits so she may not break the same touring records as Rih.

But teenage dream sold what 5M? LOUD sold 6 & Louds tour did better than the California dreams tour. Katy wins with singles. Let's see: Album sales - Rih, Tour - Rih & Singles - Katy
LOUD > Teenage Dream.

Beyonce flopped a long time ago (shame, "4" was a great album, but she is an uninteresting woman)

Yet she's made more headlines than Rihanna in 2013 without an album, best-selling Vogue cover of 2013, which sold more than Rihanna's 2012 cover (being one the worst selling issues). Yet her HBO Doc had more viewes than a prime-time FOX's Rihanna's 777 DOC. All these with no album.
