"Wild Thoughts" ended 2017 as the UK's 13th highest selling single! :cheer: It should be very close to passing 1 million combined sales too.

Both "Wild Thoughts" and "Lemon" have re-entered the Top 100 this week following the departure of all of the Christmas songs. "LOYALTY." has also been certified Silver for combined sales of 200,000!

"Needed Me" is Rih's 15th Platinum single as a lead artist and 25th in total! 👑

"Wild Thoughts" is Rihanna's 11th million-seller and among the UK's top 300 best 'selling' singles of all time :cheer:

"California King Bed" has been certified Gold recently.

 

We also have sales updates for "Umbrella" (1.1 million) and "Run This Town" (511,000) which is over 100,000 combined sales more than its last update in June 2017! :o

According to Music Week on 5th April, "What's My Name?" was due to become Rihanna's record 13th millionaire the following week so I have updated its total to reflect that. If anyone knows what her 12th millionaire was so that I can update its sales, I'd appreciate it :D

 

They also gave her all-time UK singles sales at 36,881,585 :o :D

^ I assume it's 'Stay' that has passed 1m. 'S&M' can't be far behind though.

I thought it would be that - is 80,000 combined sales in 8 months (its last total was 920k at the end of July) a reasonable estimate?

Yep, seems reasonable to me.

Thanks! ^_^

'SOS' is now certified Gold (400,000)

'SOS' is now certified Gold (400,000)

That's great, thank you!

 

I make that Rih's 31st Gold-certified single (although 25 of those are now Platinum or 2x Platinum!) She has a further 17 Silver certifications so only two more until she has 50 certified singles :o

"Lemon" is Silver! Only one more until she has 50 certified songs *.*

I wonder which song is the next most likely to cross over 200k? :o 50 certified singles will be an incredible accomplishment. :wub:

 

Only just noticed SOS making it to Gold. :wub: 12 years on and I'm still a little annoyed to see it's chart run being cut so short because of the stupid rules of the time. :')

 

 

Here are a couple of up to date totals:

 

2,016,406 - LOUD *.* Omg at this crossing over 2m!

243,862 - ANTI

It's incredible how many hits she's had <3 Maybe 'Hard'? Wow at Loud! :o *.* Has it overtaken GGGB or is that still her best seller, do you know?

 

Really hopeful from that than ANTI can go platinum soon-ish, hopefully by the end year.

Loud definitely ahead of Good Girl Gone Bad! 1,966,497 for GGGB as of Fri 20th April 2018. :cool:

Wow at that ANTI chart run :o Obviously it’s being helped massively by streaming, I wouldn’t think it would’ve done much more than 100k on pure sales. Sorry to pester you again, but do you have any idea at all ANTI’s proportion of sales to streams?

I wish I did, but sadly not! :( It'd be very interesting to know that.

 

When it comes to this week alone though, only 6.23% of its sales came from physicals/downloads. :o (50 copies :lol: ). 93.77% from streaming, 753 units. Overall, 803 sales to be #164 this week.
