That is because Rihanna is an artist known for selling only singles and never many albums. Only in today's world does this become something to cheer about.

Well congrats Rihanna.

Since none of the above artists will never get any proper physical sales records...............

Rihanna is not really a singles artist when you think about, yes her singles do far better but her albums sells well worldwide over time. Media Traffic reported that Good Girl gone bad sold over 8 million copies, Loud just reach 6 million copies sold and her first three album sold over 3 million copies each and her newley released Talk that talk sold over a million worldwide already. she's not a big album seller in the U.s. but worldwide she's preety good. there are some artist who sold over 5 million copies of their singles and their album haven't reach 1 million yet

If you want to be a millionaire..., release single by single..., no matter how good it is..., just release it, and some peole will buy it...

This list consists of only commercial artists, there is no quality, no legendary status, nothing relevant to great musiacians from the past...

If Rihanna has sold 47 mil. in the USA only..., what about worldwide sales...? 100?
