15,4m units from other people's albums, so 35m from her own material, not bad

Even then... After taking away all of those numbers you did because you felt happy doing it.... 

 

She would still be #1 female above them all.... So enjoy that bitterness... Hope you won't choke on it?

Facts are facts sweetie. The OP said how she's still the only female to pass the 40m mark and now she hit 50m when in reality she's the female with the most collabs out of the MPGs. Even after taking a break for 5 years, none of the other girls come close to the number of released singles

 

Without the features, she's still #1 but not that far away from other MPGs like you guys are making it seem

You excluded several songs on which she's credited as a lead artist - she's at 38.3M units without the features, not 35M (still #1 in both cases, though). And... since BPI credits Rihanna's name on those featured singles, I don't see any reason why they shouldn't be counted for her - maybe in an attempt to make her numbers look less impressive but that's not even the result you get. 

 

"none of the other girls come close to the number of released singles" I'm afraid that's another lie  Per Wiki, including official singles, promo singles and features...

 

Nicki Minaj, 142

Céline Dion, 137

Kylie Minogue, 115

Madonna, 113

Mariah Carey, 108

Taylor Swift, 95

Beyoncé, 83

Whitney Houston, 79

Janet Jackson, 78
Jennifer Lopez, 77

Rihanna, 74

Tina Turner, 72

Christina Aguilera, 70

Ariana Grande, 67

P!nk, 63

Lady Gaga, 52

Katy Perry, 50

 

You should let go of that narrative lol

Not me forcing him to go to wikipedia of every single female artist that existed and count all the singles 

I clearly said MPGs, not females ih general  You could've included Cher aswell

Yes… Taylor, Beyoncé & Nicki have released more singles than Rihanna, Ariana & P!nk nearly as much. Your fave not that far behind either compared to the gap Rihanna has on her in certified units. No wonder you ignored that part, and didn’t quote my post.

18 songs above a million, cant deny that power   a discography
