Rihanna Is Top Selling Digital Artist Of All Time
Rihanna has another reason to celebrate. After breaking the bank with $90,000,000 for her lengthy LOUD tour, Rihanna has just earned herself some top honors.
According to Nielsen SoundScan, the Barbadian singer is the Top Selling Digital Artist of All Time.
The ‘Skin’ singer who has sold over 47,000,000 records in her career which began in 2005 has managed to beat some impressive acts which include Lady Gaga, Beyonce and her best friend Katy Perry for the crown.
Here is the raw data from Nielsen SoundScan:
1. Rihanna – 47,571,000
2. Black Eyed Peas – 42,405,000
3. Eminem – 42,290,000
4. Lady Gaga – 42,078,000
5. Taylor Swift – 41,821,000
6. Katy Perry – 37,620,00
7. Lil Wayne – 36,788,000
8. Beyonce – 30,439,000
9. Kanye West – 30,242,000
10. Britney Spears – 28,665,000
Not to take anything away from Rihanna’s sucess, but it should be noted that the only reason why singers like Beyonce or rap star Eminen were beaten by RiRi is because most of their albums came out before the digital era.
When Beyonce unveiled ‘Dangerously In Love’ iTunes was not yet created.
Nonetheless congrats to Rihanna – this girl works like her life depended on it – in case you were unaware of it Miss Robyn Rihanna Fenty has done 4 international tours, released 6 albums, sold 30 million albums and 100 million singles.
