I see your point, but no other female act in the top ten of this list has sold more albums in the U.K than Rihanna except Madonna, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion and Adele and Houston and Dion are only 1.5-2M units ahead of her overall. 

 

Yeah, I meant no shade by that comment. It's specifically because I know Rihanna is one of the best selling female of all time in the UK that I was surprised to see her only #11.

Why is this a surprise? She's much bigger here.

I guess I just figured Lady Gaga would have performed better in the UK considering that dance/EDM albums are much bigger there than R&B/hip-hop influenced albums. Also, I have always been a fan of Beyoncé's music but never really cared at all about her stats, so let's be real, this ATRL narrative that Beyoncé is a local artist is probably another reason why I didn't expect that.
