She may not be Beyonce with her ego... But 20 million albums sold worldwide, (no matter how many singles she sold) is not a low number.... (and counting.... Coz she will end up the LOUD era with 23Million sales.... at least)
And she sold more than 1M albums in the US with her last 4 efforts... And her least successful album has sold 2Millions WW... Its not like she never got to sell 1M....
She is a singles artist AND AN ALBUM ARTIST, AND THIS ERA SHE WILL PROVE SHE IS A STABLISHED ARTIST WITH HER TOUR TOO...
AND IF U DONT LIKE IT.... BETTER GET OUTTA DA WAY

Rude boy sold 2.4M
Hard sold 1.75M
Russian Roulette sold 850K
Rockstar 101 must be close to Gold by now
So... 5.5 Million singles in the US in her 'bad numbers era' and 1.017.000 copies sold in the US and 11 Million singles woldwide and 3Million albums...
95% of the current artists cant even DREAM ABOUT THOSE NUMBERS

I love Rihanna, and I want to have a normal discussion, so stop bringing Beyoncé into this.
Rihanna can obviously only sell well in terms of albums with efforts like Loud and GGGB. Rated R on the other hand prove how much her album-sales plummet if she totally changes from style. Amazing first week numbers are always great to take with you as an artist, but longevity is what matters, and Rihanna doesn't have that.
Rihanna has NOT sold 20 million albums worldwide. Stop the lies, immediately.
Music of The Sun and A Girl Like Me sold 2 million worldwide ±.
Rated R sold nearly 3 million worldwide.
GGGB sold 8+ million worldwide, and Loud is at 2.4 million.
How in hell has she suddenly reached 20 million? 
On your last part, we do not know if Rihanna's tour is gonna do well and if Loud keeps its longevity. Time will tell.

She sells more singles than albums, but she's not really a "singles artist" because her albums sell pretty well

Do you really think the single sales from Rated R are amazing? Rude Boy was the only huge song that came from the album. Hard was mostly a local hit, it may have minorly impacted worldwide but not enough to do anything for her. Russian Roulette did well in European countries but as the first single it did not set up a good start for the Rated R era around the world.
The sales for Rated R are not catastrophic. They are what they are, I'm fine with them since the era was a mess in general.

Of course they're not amazing. The sales are solid.
Good Girl Gone Bad 8 mil+
Rated R 3 mil (estimate)
Loud 2 mil
13 mil sold in the past 3 1/2 years hardly makes her a singles artist. And at the moment she is still adding six digits to her album sales per week.

I didn't forget it, and it did not sell 3.5-4 million. 
If yes, I want receipts to back up your statement.

No, I don't think she is. Idk why people like Rude Boy make these threads. You don't need ATRL to say something just to make it right. Just because she doesn't have Beyonce-like sales they say she can't sell albums, but that doesn't mean she's doing terribly. Rated R killed her sales momentum. I have faith that if Loud came after GGGB, sales would have been huge, however a lot of people were turned off by that sound (it'll still be her best album imo  ) and therefore she's trying to build that momentum again with this album. Rated R was ruined by releasing Russian Roulette as a lead single...it could have done way better if they released a different song first (Hard, Rude Boy, Wait Your Turn).
That's all I got.
Look at Flo Rida. He had a top 10 hit and I can count hit total sales with all 10 fingers, that's a single's artist.

Guys, there's absolutely nothing wrong with being a 'singles artist'. Rihanna is in the weird gray area in between singles and albums artist. While she doesn't sell tens of millions of albums, she still sells pretty decent. I don't think anyone means it in a mean way when they say she's a singles artist. We, as fans/stans, should be happy she's even selling at all. Think of all the artists that never sell anything. Rihanna being a 'singles artist' is a blessing in disguise for us stans, she's breaking so many records with all of these #1's. I know I, as a stan, would much rather her be a singles artist than no artist at all.

So does she puts it in her sentences? Do hurt me, to attack me? Gerl please. That's why I called her weird.
