Opening posts are now updated, thanks again Jay!
 QUOTE(Jay ☆ @ Mar 10 2019, 07:09 AM) ANTI had sold 272,632 as of 1st March. ANTI has sold 28,770 in 41 weeks, which is ~700 sales per week. With a new album almost guaranteed for this year, will we finally be seeing this certified Platinum?! *.* |

QUOTE(Theonix @ Mar 10 2019, 12:22 PM) Ooh, thanks for all that info, Jay! *.* I'll work on updating all the sales figures into the main posts soon  Are you implying that We Found Love is irrelevant (because you're wrong) or that it hasn't "sold" a million copies (because it has)? Lol Not at all We found love is one of the best tracks of the last ten years and a song that stands up there with the classic million sellers. I also think Only girl and Love the way you lie are pretty much classics. - Work - The Monster - Four five seconds - This is what you came for - Too good - Wild thoughts - Stay - What's my name None of the above are classic huge songs their sales don't reflect their impact. Oh rather million sellers now are not that special and don't reflect those one of a kind success stories. If you asked the general public to name a million seller I highly doubt they would say "Oh Wild thoughts by Rihanna!" |

I'd consider What's My Name? a worthy million seller / classic personally!
Also to be fair This Is What You Came For was one of the biggest smashes of 2016 (5th best seller), and 3 years is a little too early to be able to properly determine what will go on to be a memorable classic! |

Well, speaking of million-sellers, "FourFiveSeconds" has just been certified 2x Platinum (1,200,000)!
 Rihanna's 11th multi-platinum single, breaking a tie with Ed Sheeran. |

This Is What You Came For has been certified 3x Platinum, Rihanna's third single (and second Calvin collab) to reach 1.8 million combined sales!

I loved This Is What You Came For at the time of release I think it was a two or even three week #1 in my chart. I rarely go back to it now though and whenever I do all I can hear is Taylor Swift in the chorus

Was just going to post this!
I gasped at the 14 years bit though! Still remember this taking off. |

Even though it's pre-mega stardom Rihanna, I feel it's worked its way to become a real classic in her discography and fits nicely alongside some of her big smashes. SOS and Unfaithful were probably bigger hits at the time but Pon de Replay feels a lot bigger now, although SOS still feels quite big.

Pon De Replay has sold more in the UK now than SOS and every album released has 1 or more platinum single.

Platinum exactly 2 years after it went Gold
A third of its overall total occurring 12-14 years after it was a hit. The joys of streaming! It had sold 125,000 copies by the end of 2005 (which was pretty reasonable for the time).

Some of her 2x platinum hits feel smaller than some of her platinum ones tbh. Just goes to show the power of streams.
Even Needed Me being platinum and SOS, Russian Roulette and Run This Town just gold adds to that. |

I hear Pon De Replay a lot now when I go on nights out. I even hear it more than stuff like Umbrella as well! I feel like Pon De Replay is one of those songs what hasn’t really aged badly. Some of the stuff on her second and third albums sound dated but her debut album doesn’t necessarily sound dated it’s just a bit not to my taste but it is current sounding. It’s a song what I used to forget about in terms of her discography tbh but overtime I’ve grown to really appreciate it and it being her debut major single makes it special as it’s essentially where it all started for her. |

Pon de Replay is in the same vein as Kevin Lyttle 'Turn Me On' and Eminem 'Shake That' where literally everyone will get down and dirty on the dancefloor.
Definitely one I hear very regularly and just doesn't get old.
