      Well, congrats to her, but 105,000 copies is less than stunning.

        If we were talking about the U.S than yes, but this is the UNITED KINGDOM. That number is huge there.

      Rihanna is the black queen of the UK. Shit she’s the pop queen of the UK since I consider Adele R&B.

      Thats what Adele’s ass gets for continuing to release her boring watered down soul music. She is overrated and overhyped and does not deserve to top any chart. The highest numbers you’ll ever see next to her name usually have “lbs” following.

      Its good that a honest, you-see-whatcha-get artist Like Rihanan continues to kill it instead of Adyke.

        And ’21′ alone has sold more than your fave’s whole discography. Continue to be mad about it.

          That is correct in terms of album sales. Adele “21″ has been certified 9x platinum according to the RIAA. Rihanna has 6.5 million in certifications according to the RIAA in terms of her 6 studio albums combined. Good Girl Gone Bad – 2m, TTT, Loud, RR, A Girl Like Me are all certified platinum. Music of the Sun is the only one certified Gold. In terms of singles, Rihanna’s singles combined including features are at 42M in certifications by the RIAA. Adele has 22M in singles certifications by the RIAA.

          @Benron, nothing is available to track worldwide sales. The RIAA is the only thing in the US that does that. Rihanna does not have 9M in certifications for all 6 albums. You might want to visit their website.

          @Liberian girl

          Since 1million is platinum and 2 million is double platinum, hwo do you count the ones inbetween
          RIAA does not count acual sales, just certifications. Follow @Chartnews on twitter to see acutal sales honet.

      And I will wait for the day when a post on Rihanna will have comments from her fans about Rihanna and not other artists. Why can’t y’all stay on topic sheez…

      My God, couldn’t Rih stans just be happy that she’s number one? Of course not, they never seem to be happy! & I wish Benron would refrain from commenting on this site until he learns to have something constructive to say. What has Adele’s weight got to do with anything? The subject is about RIHANNA and the fact she’s done well this week. Even when talking about Rih certain Navy members STILL have to find something to be bitter about
