Is it possible that Rih may become the best selling female of all time?

[erfaan 2,528]

Possible. Might take a couple of years though. By the looks of it, M isn't going to stop releasing music anytime soon.

maybe in 50 years bc currenty it's Madonna with 305,786,000 and when she dies she will sell even more.

ll it took rihanna 10 years to reach 265k, so on average 26m per year. She will pass her way before madonna dies

I hope not.

Yes. We try to compare their states now but when rihanna reaches an equal life span Madonna she will leave Madonna in the dust.  And i love Madonna don't get me wrong but rih rih is still so young.

It's possible. Madonna's sales lately aren't too impressive and Rihanna's Work was a smash. And Work isnt even that great.

Work's WW sales are close to zero

9 weeks in US, that's it, it hasn't been #1 anywhere else (upd: Canada, France and US), so it will never sell as much as Hung Up for example, which didn't even enter top 5 of h100. You see, #1's don't mean anything, Work just didn't have any competition

I don't link when someone like Madonna's sales are brought up when talking about contemporary artists. 1) it's a comepletely different time and era, 2) she's a legend. Do people on this forum regularly throw around Bowie or Michael Jackson's sales? Why do we have to reduce her to numbers.

Maybe after 5-6 years

comparing 2016 sales to hung up is not very relevant

[sipthistea 21,099]

Thanks to streaming.

But, in all honesty, I'd rather Madonna keep that title. At least, she has artistic integrity.

But that's the point of this thread. Comparing Rihanna's singles sales to Madonna's albums sales isn't much relevant too
