Gaga? She's basically the most global pop star out there right now.

Out of those it's Rihanna. She always has multiple songs out at the same time. Whilst Katy Perry and Lady Gaga haven't had as many hits as Rihanna, and they always release one song at a time, and have them perfectly spaced out, etc.

Katy has four 5M+ sellers (you forgot E.T. and California Gurls) and Gaga has 3 (JD, PF and BR). But the rest seems pretty right.

Katy has 4 5x platinum singles. California Gurls, Firework, E.T. and Hot N Cold

E.T. - feat. Kanye West.
California Gurls - feat. Snoop Dogg.
Just Dance - feat. Colby O'Donis.

I'm not talking about features (Rihanna's best selling single would be Love The Way You Lie, then).

[RIRI_SMG]

Gwen Stefani


The First artist sold 1 Million copies with Hollaback Girl...

Like Colby O'Donis and Snoop Dogg had anything to do with CG and JD's success. Besides, the original version of E.T. was #2 on iTunes while the single version was #1 when it was smashing so E.T. would've been a success with or without Kanye.

Just google 'Best selling digital artist' and you have your answer. No amount of delusion is going to change the history books. Stay pressed and have a great day!

Damn. Y'all are obsessed with sales.

Do you even stan for the music or do you just stan for sales?

You shouldn't be so worried about their success.

I know, but I didn't include them since I stated Rihanna doesn't have a +5 million selling single. The Navy would say she has with Love The Way You Lie.

EDIT: Maybe I should edit my post. I forgot California Gurls and E.T. are singles from Teenage Dream and Just Dance from The Fame. Love The Way You Lie is a single from Recovery.

People saying Rihanna when's she yet to have a song cross the 5M mark as the lead

Gaga yet she has 2 songs with huge sales and the rest are like Rihanna's sales tbh

Katy is the obvious choice

I remember they deleted the Kanye West version then E.T. solo version raised to the Top 10 on iTunes, then they added the KW version again so that's why E.T. sold a lot

Sis u made me laugh! CG and JD are Katy's and Gagas songs, Snoop and Colby shouldn't count. Rihanna is the featured artist on LTWYL while Eminem is the lead! It's completely different

Katy perry
She sold 50 million records with the TD era alone.
The other girls ain't seeing them numbers,
Gaga used to be a huge digital seller during TF/TFM but that has changed now.

Id also say that Adele is a huge digital force
I mean she has the best selling digital album of all time

[BlondUnicorn]

MESS.
Rihanna still doesn't have a +5 million selling single, so it doesn't change a thing.

Gaga is definitely not the digital queen
Born This Way hasn't even sold 4M despite debuting at #1 and staying there for 6 weeks

Thinking of You hasn't even sold 1M too. Last Friday Night has also sold less than Born This Way despite spending two weeks at #1 and more weeks inside Billboard's top 10 than BTW. Katy Perry is definitely not the digital queen as well.

[Cheers]

Rihanna her consistency is what makes her the digital queen.

Katy is only on her 2nd album so we will have to see how album #3 goes for her.

Gaga lmao just no

Gaga has only two singles which didn't reach the 1 million mark (Judas and Marry the Night). All the others have sold more than 2 million (including Poker Face and Just Dance, both close to the 7 million mark). Rihanna has several singles which didn't sell 1 million copies. I just don't get the "lmao just no".

Comparing a 5th single to a lead? BTW only selling ~200k more copies than LFN when it had more hype and 6 weeks at #1 compared to LFN's 2? Judas not scraping platinum even though it's a dance-pop track? Expecting TOY to do a lot of damage on the charts even though it's a ballad?

It's getting too late for this.

We can compare lead singles instead

- Born This Way 8.2 Million (http://www.ifpi.org/content/library/DMR2012.pdf, page 7)
- California Gurls 6.7 Million (http://www.ifpi.org/content/library/DMR2011.pdf, page 13)
