The post was meant in response for my girl Chemist , as we were in the middle of a conversation. Didnt double check.

You seriously need to work on your attitude. It's highly irritating.

And to be fair, what genre of music is WMN and The Time?

WMN is R&B, The Time is Dance, but genre's irrelevant. One song is being heard thrice as much as the other, but it's still being outsold. Not trying to take anything away from Rihanna. I mean, it's the Peas The Time pretty much solidified that a lot of people will continue to buy their music no matter how ****** it is.

WMN?'s sales aren't bad. They just aren't great either. They're decent.

HIAM

So happy to see Pitbull smashing again tho

Rihanna isn't selling as many singles cause people are buying the album instead.

No. Her sales in the US are not amazing.

Ok, but let's say that half of the people who bought Loud haven't bought WMN? (they wouldn't have a reason too)
That would add 400K to WMN?'s sales.

That applies to every popstar though.

Yes, but Cannibal has sold like what, 100K copies? I know BEP have not sold that much either.

BEP singles sell no matter what. The E.N.D. had already sold millions of copies & Imma Be went triple platinum & hit #1.

Katy, Ke$ha & GaGa sell the most singles for female artists nowadays. Rihanna's single sales don't exactly match up to theirs in the present but it doesn't matter, she is still a force to be reckoned with in pop music. Her album sales match up to Katy & Ke$ha's without the massive digital sales (GaGa's the album sales exception - popstars hardly sell like her anymore).

Babygirl, people won't see the light until you FULLY break it down. This topic is recurring every day and it will NEVER end......I mean common. Rihanna has one of the best album single sale ratio, if not the best in the entire top 20.

1.) Grenade - Bruno stands close to 6 million singles sold , and just cracked 500k album sold.
2.) Pitbull - No point in discussing.
3.) Firework - 10 million singles , 1 million albums
4.) Black and White - No point in discussing
5.) Fukn Perfect - Is her album gold?
6.) HIAM - New single, no album
7.) Coming Home - No idea of sales, but album less than 200k
8.) Time Dirty Bit ....close to 3 million sales , 400k albums
9.) Enrique - dont think his album sold 300k
10.) Kesha - just cracked 200k recently , close to 3 M singles sold
13.) Rihanna 850k albums , and 4.5 million singles and counting . <---

Rihanna's ratio is HEALTHY. At this rate, she will be at 9 million singles , 1.7M albums
18 million singles 3.4M+albums which is possible w/ re-release.

WW It's healthy. 8.8M singles to almost 3 Million albums

No one said it was bad, just not as good as the other pop females.

Lately her SINGLE sales have not matched up to Katy or Kesha in the STATES.

The key words: SINGLE and STATES. WW is an entirely different story.

But she's exceeding expectations overall. Rihanna is global. America is just part of it.

This is true

But America is the biggest industry, and has the biggest singles sales

Agree. The lyrics are much better, the song production. And that stunning video

That maybe true. But California Gurls and WRWWR were big hits in the states.

CG - 8.4M WW
OG - 6M WW and still racking up , and this just gained 250,000 points last week.

So as illustrated, with a solid performance in the states, you can still end up possibly becoming one of the biggest hits of all time.

FP is def one of her best. It has an empowering message, and very radio-friendly. I'd love for it to hit #1. Her second from a Greatest Hits album.
