Rihanna made European dance pop for years, Taylor didn't 

 

Taylor also outsold Rihanna on the most populous continent on Earth 

She did european pop music instead since 2011, they still didn't use.

 

In fact, taylor can'r even sing this is what you came for

A continent that has 54 countries you mean (none of which taylor was relevant in for 80% of her career)?

 

Taylor's home country is the US, rihanna's isn't.

They should be very careful going that route considering Rih’s record-shattering album sales 

 

35M albums sold.

280M singles sold.

+300M records sold worldwide more than any other artist that debuted in the 21st century. We have nothing to fear honey

So NOW you want to use Chartmasters after embarrassing yourself in the thread a few weeks ago?

 

Taylor is playing more stadiums in Europe, Asia, Oceania and South America than Rihanna has in her 17 year career btw

Rihanna is much bigger overall in Europe

They are about equal in South America

I should’ve expected that any conversation with the Navy about pure sales would quickly devolve into fraudulent record sales. I know you’re slow, since your fave has been out of it for so long, but pure album sales sales and pure single sales are not counted as equivalent by any legitimate body in the music industry besides labels trying to gas up numbers. Give it up delicious, it’s not gonna work

And Taylor's numbers are largely from one country, the same doesn't apply to Rihanna. I don't know what's so difficult to get here

Why are you taking Taylor's best selling songs and comparing it to one of Rih's worst selling (and released during the streaming era when pure sales were dead)? Why didn't you put Look What You Made Me Do's pure sales as well if you're really serious?

Gaga does not deserve this setup. She gave us a lot of bops so I'm not sure why you want to punch her down as if she's a threat to anyone anymore.

Your passive aggressive anger proves the opposite.

And almost half of Rihanna's come from Europe - her main target market with her dance pop. It's worth noting that when she abandoned the dance pop sound, her albums tanked in her main market of Europe (See: Rated R, ANTI)

I really don't think you understand less than half sales coming from a whole continent that has multiple markets >>>>>>> 70% of sales coming from one single country
