Mediabase Posted April 22, 2018 Posted April 22, 2018 I am a RiRi stan but we can't compare singles that were sold for 99 cents on itunes with physical singles that cost $4 ad you had to go to a store to get them.
Mediabase Posted April 22, 2018 Posted April 22, 2018 (edited) The list also proves how LOCAL females like Mariah Carey, Barbra and Janet are. Edited April 22, 2018 by Mediabase

Gurl, album sales in Asia are non existent. Except in Japan. She was big in Japan in the 90s. Not the entire continent.
