Best-selling female album artists in Nielsen Music history - Gaga finally ties Rihanna

[LoveandMagic 1,731]

Damn. Get them coins! Congrats Gaga (though everyone is a winner here)! 

[Rebel Heart 5,142]

This list is a flop. I can't name a single Mariah Carey song let alone an album (except that chanteuse one because of all the memes). How is Madonna not number 1? And who the hell are Reba McEntire, Enya, LeAnn Rimes and Faith Hill? So surprised 

Regardless slay Gaga

​True but considering that all her first week sales of all her albums are lower than ARTPOP's first week sales, it's surprising to me. Unless she has longevity and I didn't know

Her records reach platinum (1m in sales) most of the time. So with 8 albums, including the ones that sold more than 2m, Rihanna does have strong album sales. Gaga's achievement is notable, though. She only had 5 major releases so far and is still that high.

That amazing, Rihanna has been in the music industry longer than Gaga + she's released more AND we all know we can't compare their public images at all so this is a huge success for Gaga!

Katy Perry (2008) - 6.2 million (1/25/15)

Not bad at all. She's coming for us.
