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.

I wasn’t expecting much but more than 50 :lol: I suppose it doesn’t matter very much these days anyway.

Thank you for all that additional info, Jay! *.* I will work on adding it to the OP ASAP! ^_^

 

I'm in two minds about 'Loud' officially being her highest seller. Obviously it's a huge achievement to have two albums over/close to 2 million sales but it is well-documented that she isn't really here for it any more. In an ideal work, 'Anti' would be well over 2 million but that messy release strategy (and her being branded a flop by the media) didn't help sales :(

Thank you once again for all the info, Jay! I have now added those chart runs into the opening posts ^_^

 

I have also edited the features/non album singles post so that the format is the same as the album-specific posts. Hopefully it's easier to read now and one can find the information that one may be looking for.

 

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.

Okay, so I have checked and Rih isn't actually officially credited on "Famous" which I have included in her 49 certified songs so if we're only counting official credits, she needs two more before she hits 50. "Hard" is a good shout at being next over 200,000 although we haven't had an estimate for that in over four years. I would guess the lead single from R9 or an upcoming collaboration (I wish!) would be next to be certified though unless any of the 'Anti' album tracks are close - which I would guess "Consideration" would be the front-runner for.

I feel like "Selfish" (Future/Rih) could be close to Silver, since it has 190M streams on Spotify. ;)

Sex With Me & Desperado could get there eventually too, since they both have around 120M streams on Spotify.

"We Found Love" is now certified 3x Platinum (1,800,000) :D
'Who's That Chick' now on 660k as of April 2018, according to a David Guetta countdown on MTV Club.

 

 

"We Found Love" is now certified 3x Platinum (1,800,000) :D

Thanks for these! Incredible that "We Found Love" is still increasing its sales! It should cross the 2 million mark in December 2019.

"Unfaithful" is now certified Platinum (600,000) ^_^
  • 3 weeks later...

Wild Thoughts is now certified 2x Platinum (1,200,000)! B-)

Her 8th multi-platinum single (DJ Khaled & Bryson's first).

I didn't even realise it'd sold over a million! :o I'm not paying enough attention, clearly. :kink:

 

I'd say most of her other multi-platinum singles seem worthy of having achieved that status, although 'Too Good' sticks out for me as being undeserving of being within her Top 8 best sellers. I'll always find it crazy that out of all of her singles, it was that which provided her with her lengthiest run inside the UK Top 10 (16 weeks). :drama:

"The Monster" has been certified 2x Platinum - Rihanna's eighth single to achieve double platinum status! :cheer: Its last total was 1,080,000 exactly a year ago so it is averaging 120,000 sales per year.

We have a new sales update for "Princess of China"! It's now on 798,000 and selling roughly 3,600 copies per month, so could become a million seller within the next 4-5 years

"Umbrella" is now certified 2x Platinum (1,200,000)! :D

 

Her 10th multi-platinum single in the UK, tying Ed Sheeran for the most of all time.

Umbrella is still my fave :heart:

 

Any idea when GGGB the album will pass 2,000,000 sales?

Should be soon hopefully.

 

Be interesting to see Rated Rs total sales now as well.

Love The Way You Lie just certified 3x platinum

 

Meaning she now has 28.4 million certified song units in the UK (34.9 million albums/songs combined).

 

She has a ~60% lead on the female artist with the 2nd most certified song units (Beyoncé, 12.4m). Insane.

From the OCC, in celebration of International Women's Day:

 

the highest of four Rihanna albums in the Top 40 of the decade is in fourth place – it's Loud, with just over two million. There are four Rihanna-led songs in the singles' Top 40 too, with 2011's We Found Love the highest, on 1.42m downloads and 49.7m streams.

 

5 WE FOUND LOVE RIHANNA FT CALVIN HARRIS 1 2011

17 WORK RIHANNA FT DRAKE 2 2016

20 DIAMONDS RIHANNA 1 2012

32 ONLY GIRL (IN THE WORLD) RIHANNA 1 2010

 

4 LOUD RIHANNA 1 2011

14 TALK THAT TALK RIHANNA 1 2011

27 UNAPOLOGETIC RIHANNA 1 2012

38 RATED R RIHANNA 9 2009

 

Does that put We Found Love on 1,917,000 on total?

^ It does! What a smash *.*

 

 

Some new info: Good Girl Gone Bad recently passed 2 million sales in the UK, it's now on 2,001,956 as on 8th March. ANTI had sold 272,632 as of 1st March.

 

 

Good Girl Gone Bad has now spent 303 weeks in the UK Top 200, ANTI has managed 129 weeks. I'll get the chart positions together soon!

Ooh, thanks for all that info, Jay! *.* I'll work on updating all the sales figures into the main posts soon ^_^

 

Million sellers are becoming so irrelevant its so sad.

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
