Robyn. Posted July 11, 2020 Posted July 11, 2020 Not Rihanna being above her peers in the albums category despite being labeled as a singles artist, she truly gets the last laugh EVERYTIME

For example, she released twice as much albums as Katy Perry, so how is that a fair comparison?

The Fame (it was re-released with TFM, just like Rihanna re-released GGGB) Born This Way ARTPOP Joanne Chromatica (ASIB is not counted here) Music of the Sun A Girl Like Me GGGB (+ re-release) Rated R Loud Talk That Talk Unapologetic Anti 5 albums VS 8 albums, and keep in mind Chromatica was just released, it's still top 10 on the official chart in it's 6th week, so it will obviously keep selling. Based on all of this Rihanna has an obvious adventage

The Fame was bigger than Rihanna’s first two albums combined so it’s not like MOTS and AGLM matter that much. Rihanna has more albums but Gaga a bigger peak, so Gags is definitely the one who has an obvious advantage... that didn’t pay off

TF is at 3m including a re-release, so the comparison is more than fair.

But even if Gaga had the same amount of albums as Rihanna, she still wouldn't surpass her in the UK. Gaga's UK certifications since Artpop: Artpop - Gold Joanne - Gold ASIB - Platinum Chromatica - Silver (so far) There is a gap of +2M between the two and a platinum album equates to 300k units. Gaga needs at least 7 more platinum albums in the UK to surpass Rihanna.

You can't now for sure how would have her 2010 or her 2012 albums performed had she released them And again, the OP is not counting ASIB in this thread.

It's not about the number of albums you've released, but about HOW they perform. Rihanna's albums in the UK have been frequently certified platinum, while Gaga's last platinum album in the UK was BTW. Clearly, Gaga could have dropped album after album, the demand for her in the UK wasn't as strong.

This could've been a possible scenario had Gaga released two additional albums. 2008/9 - TF - 3m copies sold 2010 - LG2 ~2m copies sold 2011 - BTW - 1m copies sold 2012 - LG4 - 0.5m copies sold 2013 - ARTPOP - 0.25m copies sold So basically her career could've kept going downhill but it wouldn't be as drastic album to album since she wouldn't take a 3 years break between albums. Again, this is just a scenario, we'll never know what could've been.

It’s not about the amount of albums, Taylor Swift has 7 albums but still hasn’t reached half of what Rihanna’s has sold so your point?
