Because those are my rules. You don't like it, then step out.

Their best eras in U.S. are comparable and highly debatable. That's why I started a thread about it. If any of you want to compare something else, then feel free to do so... in another thread.

195,000 for Ciara's 3rd album (US). But i don't think that her 4th cd will be able sell that..

Doesn't matter, you can't compare Rihannas 3rd album when she was established to Ciaras first and then brag about sales. It would be better to compare them when they both were new or when they both were established and dropped in the same year or something.

Ciara's 3rd album - 195,000 in US & 250,000 worldwide..

Let's compare her with Girlicious or something like that.. Not with Rihanna

Which is what we're discussing here. 500k in 2005 is somewhat comparable to 200k in 2009.

Goodies shat on Music of the Sun worldwide and in their core market... the U.S. Ciara wins. That wouldn't be much of a thread, would it?

I would compare Goodies' and Good Gone Bad's worldwide successes, but Rihanna would easily win that.

I'm trying to put them on equal playing fields, and the best way to do that is to compare their biggest successes in their core market. Make sense?

[Boneslive]

Goodies was a bigger era. She slayed multiple formats multiple times and had it all. The fact that it was her debut made it mean that much more. No rerelease and only four singles.

[Disturbia]

Rihanna clearly wins this.. I compared only US success:

(Singles) Goodies vs. Good Girl Gone Bad :

Goodies (single) - 1x platinum
1, 2 Step - 1x platinum
Oh - 1x platinum
And I - no certification (peak: #96)

= 3 times platinum

Umbrella - 3x platinum (3,6 millions sold)
Disturbia - 4 x platinum
Don't Stop the Music - 3x platinum
Shut Up and Drive - 1x platinum
Hate That I Love You - 1x platinum
Take a Bow - 2x platinum
Rehab - no certification (peak: #18)

= 14 times platinum

Ciara 1 #1 hit..
Rihanna 3 #1 hits

(Albums)

Ciara in her first week - 124,750
Rihanna in her first week - 168,000

Let's not talk about awards. We ALL know who wins. LOL

Yes, Goodies (album) sold little more than GGGB. But come on it was in 2004.. We all know that sales are going down and down every year (in this century) .. And i think that it's unfair to compare sales in only one country, cuz it's the only place where Ciara did better (with cd sales).. Person who made this thread just wanted to shade Rihanna. #FACT

3 singles who went 1x platinum and 1 who peaked at #96

[Cap10Planet]

Girl bye... I was not trying to shade Rihanna.

And digital singles were not huge in 2004.

Those are certifications based on physical singles. Digital sales were not huge until 2006 or 2007.
