16* but she's credited as a co-lead artist on Princess of China, Believe It & Lemon; so 13. And she's the lead singer on Wild Thoughts, Who's That Chick & This Is What You Came For so you can make it 10 (out of 53). Never was the drag you thought it was.

The point was, some other female artists like Britney, Gaga, Katy and Beyonce never or rarely collab'd with other artists during their prime, they relied on their own music, so all these Rihanna records are cute, but throughout her career she is probably the female artist with most collabs in HISTORY How can she be compared to other female artists?

She was the definition of success. And she was the reason 99% of her collabs were huge... 

 

So... Get back to your cave with that tired argument

Remove all her collabs and she is still more successful than Britney, Gaga, Katy and Beyonce in the U.K making your point useless???

[DonDesperado]

Impressive. 

 

If you remove the feats she still 1#. She has almost the double of the 2#. 40M VS 22M

 

And she is not the female artist with the most features. That's Nicki. And there are some of them which similar number of feats. The problema if that Rihanna features are successful.

Even if you removed all of her features (including the one where she’s a credited lead artist), she’d still be #1 on the list in the OP. So you’re not making any points. Stop trying it

In the OP you stated that after becoming the first female artist to cross 30m units, now she's the first one to cross 40m. I was talking about that record.

[ninasayers]

people still try to argue that rihanna's success is carried by her collabs? when most of these collabs r successful because of her in the first place? a choice

Remove features for everyone in the OP and Rihanna is still the first one to cross 20M and 30M so your point?

Beyonce is the only one longer in the game than Rihanna, pretty sure Ariana hit 20m mark much faster than Rihanna

No other female artist debuted before 2005 ?!  

 

And the Ariana comparison is dumb considering it's much easier to get Gold, Platinum, Multi-Platinum song certifications in the streaming era than it was during the digital era. Rihanna got double the amount of certified units of the #2 artist even though she hasn't been featured on a track since 2017 (except for Believe It) and you're tryna discredit her. Your fave isn't even among the top 10 female artists in song units in the UK and she's been actively releasing music since 2008-present. You tried it lmao

You know damn right Rihanna is the oldest ATRL MPG to debut, back in 2005.

 

Not you using Ariana to prove how it's easier to get certifications these days, but you still gloat about Rihanna surpassing Madonna

 

Aren't you the OP of the UK certifications thread? You should know there's a ton of Gaga songs on a verge of new certifications .

 

Upcoming Gaga certifications in the UK (in the next few months)

• Bad Romance (3x Platinum) +600k  
• Poker Face (3x Platinum) +600k  
• Always Remember Us This Way (2x Platinum) +600k 
• Born This Way (2x Platinum) +600k
• Million Reasons (Platinum) +200k 
• Applause (Platinum) +200k  

 

Can't wait for you to update the thread with all of these certifcations and Gaga suprassing quite a few females on your list

The constant changing of goal posts whenever every point they tried to make was debunked. First the features, then the ‘she’s been around the longest’ (I guess no one else ever debuted before 05?

) to then Ariana did it quicker & a random inclusion of upcoming Gaga certs… like what?
