Rihanna supposedly being this great performer miles above Taylor with all these legendary and iconic moments and yet nobody wants to buy a ticket to see her

Numbers is all you can brag about because you know how talentless and unappealing your fave is on stage. Hopefully Taylor can pull off a superbowl and does not conceal her tragic performing skills with a bunch of props and production, like she always does. It’s not like she can dance or sing live.. maybe she’ll jump around and call it a day.

If you say so

But they did though, which is why it took Taylor 12 albums and 2 decades to finally tour Europe, where Rihanna had already sold out venues and set attendance records in early last decade. Not to mention Middle East and Africa

Enjoy arguing with the wall now, i’m out

Even prior to Eras, Taylor has played more stadiums than Rihanna in: North America, Asia and Oceania  

 

Youve said you're not replying anymore multiple times. Looking forward to the next notification!

The way Navy was arguing about Anti being bigger than Reputation few years ago, deflected to Lover few years later and deflecting once again with Folklore

What is next, deflecting to Taylor’s least selling album Evermore? 

I give them a few months

t just needed a better climate where albums used to sell 20 million copies and still Music barely cracked 10 million (unlike Britney, Eminem, Linkin Park, Backstreet Boys, etc).

First off, Music has sold a certified 11 million copies to date so I'm not sure where this barely is coming from. 

 

Secondly, you really want to compare the sales of the 8th album from an artist who was in their 30s against the second or third albums from much younger acts? That seems like an odd standard to hold anyone to.

And yet, now that she is, Taylor is playing more stadiums in Europe next year (48) than Rihanna has played on tour across her entire career (35, including the tour with Eminem, and including all dates that didn't sell out and dates where the numbers were so bad that they were never reported). The "sold out venues" in question are either 5k capacity theaters, convention centers, or parks, or the shows were heavily tarped to be considered "sold out". Also, I'd recommend speaking with someone, as these "attendance records" you seem to speak of are in your head and cannot be found in the real world

How about you speak with an optometrist and get your eyes checked because these do not look like 5K capacity theatres or parks to me and the attendance records do clearly exist in the real world?

 Not only are you comparing 7 years of automatic certs vs 3 years, but in a few months max, folklore will be 2x Platinum in the UK (it's already over 500K based on Official Charts data - more than anti in way less time). That new certification alone is bigger than the difference between the 2 in all the outstanding countries you named... Not to mention that Taylor will also eventually overtake New Zealand and even possibly Italy with the tour next year. The only countries out of these where anti has a chance of staying ahead are some of the mainland European ones, which also happen to be Taylor's weakest markets . 

 

Since you want to be selective and stick to a metric that is scarcely updated, only used in a few markets around the globe and that doesn't take into consideration that one album is 3.5 years older, let's actually look at the charts of some of the countries you mentioned as receipt that anti is bigger. 

 

Anti (peaked at #6 ) only charted for 102 weeks in total (regular + catalogue charts), and is currently OUT of the top 30 on the catalogue chart. 

folklore (peaked at #1 for 2 weeks) is still charting after 132 weeks (regular + catalogue charts) and is currently #7 on the catalogue chart. 

 

Year-end charts

Year 1: folklore = #7, Anti = #17 

Year 2: folklore = #27, Anti = #28

Year 3: folklore = #30, Anti = OUT

 

Anti (peaked at #7 ) only charted for 66 weeks in total, including only 32 weeks in the top 40. 

folklore (peaked at #1 for 3 weeks) is still charting after 157 weeks, including 96 weeks in the top 40 - it's currently still #18. 

 

Year-end charts

Year 1: folklore = #12, Anti = #32 

Year 2: folklore = #38, Anti = OUT

Year 3: folklore = #30, Anti = OUT

 

Anti (peaked at #5 ) only charted for 16 weeks ( ) and has been serving OUT forever ago.  

folklore (peaked at #1 for 4 weeks) is still charting after 157 weeks, and is currently still #11. 

 

Year-end charts

Year 1: folklore = #2, Anti = #64 

Year 2: folklore = #20, Anti = OUT

Year 3: folklore = #25, Anti = OUT

 

Anti (peaked at #7 ) only charted for 13 weeks ( ) and has been serving OUT forever ago. 

folklore (peaked at #2) has charted for 34 weeks, and is currently still #23. 

 

Year-end charts

Year 1: folklore = #66, Anti = OUT

(Both didn't make the year-end charts after that)

 

Anti (peaked at #8 for Flanders, #8 for Wallonia) only charted 14 weeks ( ) and has been serving OUT forever ago.

folklore (peaked at #1 for Flanders, #3 for Wallonia) has charted for 89 weeks, and is currently still #15. 

 

Year-end charts (Flanders)

Year 1: folklore = #30, Anti = #71 

Year 2: folklore = #49, Anti = OUT

Year 3: folklore = #49, Anti = OUT

 

Anti (peaked at #1 for 1 week) only charted for 112 weeks, and is currently OUT. 

folklore (peaked at #1 for 4 weeks) has charted for 156 weeks, and is currently still #17. 

 

Year-end charts 

Year 1: folklore = #9, Anti = #6* (*benefitted from being released in January)

Year 2: folklore = #14, Anti = #33

Year 3: folklore = #30, Anti = OUT

 

Anti (peaked at #3) only charted for 32 weeks , and has been OUT forever ago.

folklore (peaked at #5) has charted for 66 weeks, and is currently still #37. 

 

Year-end charts 

Year 1: folklore = #89, Anti = #75* (*benefitted from being released in January)

(Both didn't make the year-end charts after that)

 

Anti (peaked at #4) only charted for 34 weeks ( ), and has been OUT forever ago.

folklore (peaked at #2) has charted for 149 weeks, and is currently still #41. 

 

Year-end charts

Year 1: folklore = #52, Anti = OUT

Year 2: folklore = #70, Anti = OUT

Year 3: folklore = #69, Anti = OUT

 

Anti (peaked at #1 for 2 weeks) has charted 377 weeks, including 140 in the top 100. 

folklore (peaked at #1 for 8 weeks)  has spent its ENTIRE chart run (157 weeks) in the top 100, and is still #10. 

 

Year-end charts

Year 1: folklore = #5, Anti = #5* (*benefitted from being released in January)

Year 2: folklore = #12, Anti = #23

Year 3: folklore = #41, Anti = #97

 

Mind you, since you wanted to limit this to countries with certifications, it didn't include countries like... 

 

Portugal

 

Anti (peaked at #11) only charted for 4 weeks ( ). 

folklore (peaked at #2) has charted for 29 weeks. 

 

Year-end charts

Year 1: folklore = #53, Anti = OUT

Year 2: folklore = #80, Anti = OUT

Year 3: folklore = #85, Anti = OUT

 

Ireland

 

Anti (peaked at #2) only charted for 65 weeks, and has been serving OUT forever ago.

folklore (peaked at #1 for 4 weeks) has been charting for 157 weeks, and is still #9. 

 

Year 1: folklore = #7, Anti = OUT

Year 2: folklore = #18, Anti = OUT

Year 3: folklore = #22 (as of mid-year), Anti = OUT

 

So to recap, in most of the countries you named for North America and Europe (the exceptions being Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France and maybe Italy), folklore is ACTUALLY bigger on the charts despite the outdated certification levels - and will only get bigger seeing as it's still charting in most European countries   Mind you, since you're fixated on certs, Asia was completely erased from this conversation despite being the biggest continent and fastest growing music market on Earth. I think there's no need to tell you which album is bigger there either. We both know which it is

 

Folklore has obviously sold way more in pure sales (the gap will continue to grow - it's a classic for vinyl owners), has charted for more weeks on official charts around the world (the gap will continue to grow, it's charting in 15+ countries whereas Anti is charting in 1), has moved more global units (the gap will continue to grow, it's getting close to 4 times more daily units than anti), will soon have more Spotify streams (folklore is getting close to 4 times more daily streams). So trust me, no one takes you and your botched argument about certs seriously!

 

My goodness 

[Steve Johnson]

AOTY winner Folklore and it's not even close.

Quote

Rihanna broke numerous records during the tour, becoming the youngest artist to ever headline a sold-out show at France's National Stadium, at the age of 25.^[3] She also became the youngest artist to have sold-out shows held at Millennium Stadium (June 10, 2013) and Twickenham Stadium (June 15 & 16, 2013).^[4] In South Africa, Rihanna created history in Johannesburg at the FNB Stadium where she became the first female and youngest artist to sell out the stadium.^[5]

Quote

After Rihanna announced the UK leg of the tour, pre-sale tickets searches rose by 700% on viagogo. Experts predicted that tickets for all of Rihanna's European shows could sell out in under six minutes.

Where's the attendance records?

I guess having the 4th highest attendance for a female stadium show this decade is supposed to be a record for the navy?

Sorry I'm not used to Rihanna low tpuring standards.

It's a good thing for her not a lot of artists tour there, her second SA show still flopped btw.

Maybe Rihanna can try to get the all time record for Madagascar next given that she is clearly not able to compete in actually competitive touring markets.

Funnily enough, she was able to tour those competitive touring markets around 6 years into her career and sell out.

 

It took your fave 17 years and THIRTEEN albums to finally make some noise in Europe after getting ignored and discarded everytime. It’s a fact that your fave’s biggest hit in Europe was sang by Rihanna 😂

By her 4th tour, Taylor compeletely obliterated Rihanna whole touring career with the 1989 World Tour.

It's not Taylor's fault that she is so successful in major tpuring markets like the US that she doens't need to go to lower earning countries where any big western artist can do decently.

I'm sure Rihanna would rather be able to sell out US nfl stadium or the Tokyo Dome too. Unfortunately for her, she never achieved that kind of popularity despite being spammed on radios for years by this point.

You know what all these shows have in common?

David Guetta.

Isn't it funny how all the records seem to happen in the same 4 shows (out of 96) where David Guetta was the opener except SA (where no popstars usually step foot in)?

FYI: Rihanna holds the female record for that SA stadium but Gaga and Rihanna are the only 2 female artists to step foot in that stadium during its entire lifetime(1989 - 2023). So, congrats on that useless achievement.

Rihanna broke numerous records during the tour, becoming the youngest artist to ever headline a sold-out show at France's National Stadium, at the age of 25.^[3] She also became the youngest artist to have sold-out shows held at Millennium Stadium (June 10, 2013) and Twickenham Stadium (June 15 & 16, 2013).^[4]=

 

You know what all these shows have in common?

David Guetta.

Isn't it funny how all the records seem to happen in the same 4 shows (out of 96) where David Guetta was the opener except SA (where no popstars usually step foot in)?

FYI: Rihanna holds the female record for that SA stadium but Gaga and Rihanna are the only 2 female artists to step foot in that stadium during its entire lifetime(1989 - 2023). So, congrats on that useless achievement.
