Interesting. |
It's just a joke 
The public is kind of tasteless though you must admit.

Why settle for hits when Rihanna has the power to get the smashes without payola?
And regardless, she has songs that may have underperformed in the US but she spurned a WW hit out of them. The perks of not being a local act.

For example, Where Have You Been. Only 1x platinum in the US, but top ten in 21 countries. The definition of global.

You are so jealous and pressed. They're still winning. 
And dead at Katy milking her album.  You faves don't just because they can't.

It's weird because people always bash Katy for milking TD, yet IASF had the same amount of singles as it. I can see why a fact like this would go unnoticed since half of the singles from the IASF era weren't hits at all, but to come for Katy 24/7 is pretty unfair and hypocritical.

Where have you been sold 2.025.000 copies in the US, so it well above the 2x platinium status!!

Rihanna has just about outsold every current female artist with her album sales. And Bruno is also a very strong album seller.
Carry on.

IKR? Beyonce had Obsessed, Katy had Part of Me, Katy had 8 Top 3 singles (6 #1s, 1 #2, 1#3) and Bey had a a few Top 10s (#1 Single Ladies, #3 If I Were a Boy, #5 Halo, and #10 Sweet Dreams). Bey milked her album from 2008 to 2010. Katy milked Teenage Dream from 2010 to 2012. IDK why people drag Katy

Rihanna has 47 singles and out of that 12 have went to #1, hardly effortlessly.

There's a difference from milking an album to a album having legs.
