Rihanna before retirement teas

Rihanna released 1 album during the streaming era, Taylor released 7 since 2014… between 2021 and 2022, 3 albums…

None. The last one was released in 2021. If Fearless and Red were the reason, she would've pulled those numbers in 2021 and 2022. Not in 2023.

Berore saying something dumb, do your research 

Umm I’m sure those records contributed as well in 2023 as they’re most recent records. These numbers don’t belong to midnight only.

With how many re-releases? 
 

you guys claiming all these records as if she had done this with one album

During digital era Rihanna used to release multiple albums too very near to each other

 

I didn't see complain for that.

 

Taylor is just catching up to her. Rihanna has 9 albums and multiple collaboration 

Taylor has 10 albums.

Rihanna "record breaking" digital sales are mainly due to how much albums she used to release during the digital era. 

Counting the re-releases as new albums is dumb because they don't perform as well as new albums and they take streams from her past albums.

Why are we comparing a digital era to streaming? 
 

also Rihanna’s albums were never massive in numbers during the digital era

Both Love Story and YBWM would be doing 1m+ if not for re recordings 

Re recordings at the end of day just contributed 25% more as both original albums were doing over 2m+ in 2020. So with natural and tour growth they would be around 4m now

So as said a 1m+ growth

So this means releasing multiple albums doesn't guarantee massive streams 

 

Drake has released multiple albums as well in streaming era too

Ummm, are you serious about the re releases? Those records are probably bigger than some new ones around.. am not complaining and I love Tay, she is massive, but I do believe these streaming numbers are milked considering the amount of albums she released. The more albums, the more numbers obviously

I know I'm not seeing a Rihanna stan trying to discredit Taylor's accomplishments because she releases music regularly. 

[JawBreaker]

Rihanna stans and their bitterness towards Taylor's success is something else 

 

OT: I remember wishing for 30m streams daily last year and now shes doing 70m

She has a 9 year old album charting at #12 on global Spotify. Like 

 

The albums are only all doing extremely well, because the quality is consistenly high. Which is extremely difficult.

Drake also releases a lot, but... 

 

 

Oh and the 2 re-recordings have done 750 million of these 6 billion. And, like it was mentioned, they hurt the original versions quite a bit.

They are bigger than some other albums, but for Taylor herself they don't perform as well as a new album, Red TV and Fearless TV are behind even Evermore in terms of daily streams, and since their releases the old Red and Fearless lost a lot of streams.
