Using perhaps the only relevant countries on a global scale, I've realized that ICON may be a undefined term nowadays
The Icon, Black Madonna, Rihanna: Unapologetic
US: 1.1 Million
UK: 700k
Japan: 60k+?
Canada: 80k?
Australia: 70k
The has-been, the faded, bleaching popstar Beyoncé Knowles: BEYONCÉ
US: 1.7 Million (oh?)
UK: 330k (in less than a quarter of how long Una's been out, oh gracious)
Aus: 70k:
Japan: 12k imports (not yet to be released there I believe)
Canada: 80,000
The local sell-out and *****, Taylor Swift: RED
US: 3,997,000
UK: 502,000
Japan: 270,000
Aus: 310,000
Canada: 320,000
Please correct me if I am wrong but wow. Besides the word 'icon' does the word 'global' also have a very loose and undefined meaning nowadays? I mean wasn't The Fellatio World Tour also outgrossed by The Mrs Carter Show World Tour? And local sweetheart Taylor Swift's soon to be finished Red Tour, despite less dates and not playing as many countries? Oh dear! It seems like the Britlexia passed over to the Rihanna fans during the S&M remix. Twelve number ones is it? How many of those number ones are from a number one album? How many are remembered? Maybe two? A true singles artists it seems. I guess the two number ones corresponds with how many decent performances she's had. It has taken her how many tries to get a number one album? 7? 7 times to realize that no matter how many times she goes back to Chris that all he really wants is a hit? 7 swallowing sessions of Jay's dick to produce the RIHashed trash she puts on a daily scale? 7 hm? Like how she only has about 7 more years of a career (being generous) left before she's back to being a maid at the Carter mansion? Oh I forgot does she write songs? I mean the last thing I actually remember her writing was her signature on a paper back in 2009 about the same time this month when Chris punched that 40 acre forehead. Poor ICON  |

We shall refer to her as a radio singles artist.
She's not really a digital queen.
That would be Katy.
Taylor has snatched her album sales despite being local.

Being outsold in almost all the of the relevant music markets around the world by the two 'local' pop girls? Quick lil singles for a quick lil career imo!

Rihanna's sales are really low when you think of how many hits she had and how many albums she's released. Even a lot of her singles pause around the 3 million mark. You know what? Her sales power isn't that strong really.

Taylor slays in North America, Oceania, Asia and specific markets in Europe and does ok in South America. But Red has boosted her global power in those markets too. What I love about Taylor's career is that it just keeps blossoming. She keeps growing WW every single era. Slow and steady always wins the race

Rihanna is literally the definition of a trend hopper.
Most of her singles are forgettable because they're all cash-ins on trends of much bigger artists with much more memorable hits.
And the fact that most of her singles were passed around to every other artist.

I don't really know how. Her music is the definition of disposable tbh. She has her good songs, but, overall, her whole image and music are disposable and generally underwhelming.

I mean trash gets trash. I mean Shakira even gave her a trash song to be on.
