Rihanna hasn't sold 5m in a single year with an album? what about LOUD.

LOUD and BTW don't have much difference in sales. Both hit albums.

And Rated R sold 3.2m not 2m.

Loud sold 2M and 3M in 2010, 2011 (not sure if it was the other way around) but it wasn't in a single calendar year.

By its 5th month Born This Way had already outsold Loud (at the time) with 5M WW (Loud was around 4M)

It's really easy to talk about album sales after 5 years, but at the time Loud wasn't even top 10 best selling Not in 2010 and not in 2011, check the lists bruh

And finally, just because 3M for an album is good now, doesn't mean it was good in 2012, 2011, 2010 etc.

Rihanna was always dragged for her 3M albums sold especially during TTT. If she sells 3M with R8 - OK, but you can't really call her 3M albums sold in 2011 impressive, when it wasn't even top 15 best sellling

Going by mediatraffict LOUD sold 5.5m from november of 2010 to december of 2011. It's quite obvious she sold 5m a in a year (nov 2010 to nov 2011).

Or you expect LOUD to sell 5m in two months left of 2010? Not even Gaga has done that in her prime.

Oh and it was top 10 for 2011, I checked the list bruh.

Lady GaGa.

Top selling albums WW - 2009:


01. Susan Boyle - I Dreamed A Dream - 6,0 million copies
02. Lady GaGa - The Fame (Monster) - 5,9 million copies
03. Black Eyed Peas - The E.N.D. - 4,6 million copies
04. Taylor Swift - Fearless - 4,2 million copies
05. Michael Jackson - Thriller (25th Anniversary Reissue) - 4,0 million copies
06. Michael Jackson - Number Ones - 3,6 million copies
07. U2 - No Line On The Horizon - 3,5 million copies
08. Kings Of Leon - Only By The Night - 3,5 million copies
09. Michael Bublé - Crazy Love - 3,3 million copies
10. Beyoncé - I Am... Sasha Fierce - 3,2 million copies

Rihanna not in top 40

Best selling albums of 2010

http://www.mediatraffic.de/albums-2010.htm

1. Lady Gaga - TFM
13. Rihanna - Loud

2011
2. Lady Gaga - Born This Way - 5.9M
5. Rihanna - Loud 3.4M
http://www.mediatraffic.de/albums-2011.htm

2012 Gaga didn't release anything,

Rihanna is at 22 and 23 with TTT and Unapologetic with 1.6M each

http://www.mediatraffic.de/albums-2012.htm

and 2013

13.Rihanna - Unapologetic
Island / Def Jam - 1,9 million copies

25. Lady GaGa - Artpop
Interscope - 1,3 million copies

So basically Gaga smashed for a few years and then fell JUST below Rihanna's "impressively consistent level"
If that works for the Navy - good.

2014 - No Gaga / Rihanna

Gaga's worst charting position is 25 and Rihanna's is not even top 40. So basically Gaga had the bigger peak and Rihanna had the bigger dip.

ARTPOP selling 2M in 2013-2014 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Rated R not being found anywhere on the charts in 2009-10 depsite selling 3M (which at the time was not impressive in the slightest)

[simmnfierzig]

For now it's clearly GaGa and as I don't expect R8 to sell that much I think it will stay that way.

It's obvious that the only correct answer is the one whose sales don't drop more than 100% with every new album release.

Sales can't drop more than 100%... If your sales drop 100% they are at 0.

You meant to say 50%.

Surely it ranks underneath this one:

This would mean Lady Gaga is selling negative albums, which makes about as much sense as saying 7 releases for 30M albums WW is better than 4 release (one of which is a jazz record with no radio and virtually no streaming support) for 28M albums WW.

[One Nation]

Consistency is key.

OT: Lady Gaga.

[Thanatos]

Gaga. Outselling Rihanna with only 4 albums!

[liberalmusiclover]

Rihanna. Loud sold as much as Born This Way without hype, just solid material. Only Gaga's first two albums sold well. Rihanna has been a consistent seller since her second album.

[Luma]

It's obviously gaga
