Gov Hooka 8,008 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 very good Katy or should I say Katy's team :roll: but really I like the songs so this is for US only... okay so Rihanna will still be higher worldwide Katy Perry's Firework is Diamond worldwide though with 11 million copies sold Taylor Swift is nowhere near close with her digital single sales but this is pretty good Why Do I feel like she doesn't care about getting these awards exactly she really is quite a nice person I feel like and this whole pop stan pop star world is tarnishing her perceived personality. Keep slaying Kety... I m not a big fan of KP but why minimize her accomplishment? She makes popular songs, unpretentious songs the public can relate to. In my opinion Gaga is over thinking it and has been becoming out of touch. Gaga is more talented than KP but that elitist attitude will hurt her in the long run. Just bash me now I do not give a flying f***. I m a Gaga' s fan and will see her in L.A but I am still entitled to my opinion and allowed to be critical you're absolutely right Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIMITRIS 0 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I feel even with this award Katy hasn't really achieved a legend status I mean she's had all these hits but......there's no quality to..........her? I know I might sound contrived because woah she just got this phenomenal award and Gaga doesn't omg that's not aloud I'm so mad (sarcasm) but honestly....I really don't see a time of looking back and remembering the era where Roar ruled the charts or Dark Horse went number 1. I still to this day can't fathom how Roar did THAT well. What was special about it? I know catchy when I hear it....and it just weren't that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 There is a 300 something dollar fee to certify. Interscope probably doesn't want to pay it. omg u r serious ?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titzlol 607 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 congrats Katy, songs are HELLA catchy :) Katy her reign I get this feeling that Gaga's next era will do so much better. Me too, I have faith...here it comes. I'm not every losing faith or giving up on her. she'll have another HUGE hit very good Katy or should I say Katy's team :roll: but really I like the songs so this is for US only... okay so Rihanna will still be higher worldwide Katy Perry's Firework is Diamond worldwide though with 11 million copies sold Taylor Swift is nowhere near close with her digital single sales but this is pretty good exactly she really is quite a nice person I feel like and this whole pop stan pop star world is tarnishing her perceived personality.

Valextra 58 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I feel even with this award Katy hasn't really achieved a legend status I feel the same, sales are not enough to become a legend. She has only her sales achievement. She hasn't particularly brilliant videos like 'Bad Romance', 'Paparazzi' or 'Telephone', she never did epic performances, she hasn't stage presence, she hasn't particularly voice talent (same for dance), when she sings live she's terrible, her music sound is average (the usual Dr.Luke - Max Martin productions)... When it's the end people only speak of her sales, where is rest? The music? The talent? The Voice? It seems that people stan for her only because she sells well.

Tommymonster44 0 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 omg u r serious ?? Well who knows what it actually is. Maybe its the fee, maybe its a dysfunctional bureaucracy, or it could just be laziness. Either way, a ton of huge pop stars are way undercertified.

Rihannas probably extremely high up there Yeah, based on actual sales, excluding RIAA's stream equivalents (100 on-demand audio and video streams = 1 "download"), Rihanna is still actually the top best-selling digital singles artist in the US with over 74 million digital songs sold. And by virtue of her 53 singles released, including her collaborations with other artists, she also has technically more digital sales than Katy Perry worldwide. Rihanna's latest reported WW digital song sales are at 120 million. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
superman 32 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 well Rihanna has much more singles released than katy because her career is longer. katy has a better ratio at selling power because with much less singles she s about to outsell Rihanna.

Mills 446 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 As I'm aware of, Billboard doesn't count Rihanna's features Yup. If we include her features, she'd probably be as high as 95 million or so in the US alone. I was referring to her WW stats for her singles, which I assume includes all of her collaborations. If not, then her WW singles sales, including all of her featured material, should indeed be around 180 million, as the AMAs has earlier suggested last year.

Mills 446 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Like.....how? Basicness reigns supreme.... Her label / team applies for certification as soon as they, even her promo singles, became eligible. Among all the top artists released on that list by RIAA, it's only KP's certifications that are truly updated. The inclusion of streaming into the new certification program also helped a lot on how KP became the "best-selling digital act of all time". If only Rihanna's certifications are as updated as KP's, she'd be the one who will be named as the top certified digital act of all time, just based alone on her VEVO views. And Gaga would have also at least be named as a 60x platinum act since she has already sold 50 million digital tracks in the US alone and her streams are decent enough for a sizeable boost.
