Comparing a pop album released 5 years ago to 2 rnb albums released 3 and half and 1 year ago, respectively with little to no promo? I expect more from you, HS.

I don't believe in this "threat" ********. I'm happy for all the ladies. No one's going anywhere and no one's losing. Y'all are just children.

You didn't correct ****. Just validated what I said the first time. I didn't ask you HOW Beyonce released her album, I said she has Unapologetic numbers and that is the truth. **** off talking to me you random.

PULSE.

You guys do too much. But I'll play along. Tell Rihanna to drop an album on the same day as Beyonce, Pink, Adele or Taylor and see how much she's the "biggest threat".

And in the US, BEYONCE alone more than doubles Louds sales. Actually BEYONCE outsold Loud + UA's sales combined in the US so I'm confused where you thought you were going with this fail of a post.

you just proved your own point!
Yes, bring Madonna, someone who has been in the industry 14 years before Beyonce into this nnn this won't take away her achievement as the biggest black female touring artist and one of the biggest female tours of all time!

You did try!

Yes what's this about it not being impressive to go #1 in 111 countries just because the album that was released to only 1 retailer globally and with under half the selling time as every other album released that week didn't go #1 in every country?

Katy sells more singles and apparently the same amount of albums and more concert tickets.
Bey sells more albums, movie tickets, concert tickets, better endorsements.
Taylor sells more albums, concert tickets, gets hit singles.
Pink sells more albums, concert tickets, hit singles.
Adele is Adele.

So in summation, while Rihanna relies heavily on her singles there are other artists who are capable of doing much more, some with much less. No shade to her.

Am really curious.

I don't agree with any of those statements, so I kinda wanna see how you'll wiggle your way out of this.

Rihanna has sold more records than Beyoncé, all the singles difference, and albums they have sold about the same overall. So singles make a big advantage for Rih. She's superior

Beyoncé has her impact and is huge in the US, but Rihanna is WW, so yeah I think she's superior

And before people bring tour, I'm sure Rihanna will be grossing a lot more that 230 million when she's 20 years into her career not only 9, thanks you..... She's a threat!

Blan space was released when 1989 had already outsold ST yet it still sold a whole lot, more than what any song from ST did.
Stay was released after the album dropped, so was SLY?
You calling me dense or trying to insult me won't change this fact, this myth of a song not being able to sell simply because it was released after the album is pure ********.

Don't you understand that these singles had promotion? Blank Space was performed quite a few times, as was Stay.

They also did not have their videos released the same day the entire album came out.

Clock 'em, swissman.
This desperate fan trying to bring down Beyonce's grossing numbers by bringing in (Queen of Pop) Madonna. So what is Rihanna then? Why would you drag yourself like that? Don't you love yourself?
