Alldeezy Posted October 5, 2023 Posted October 5, 2023 the way i'm only here for the female rappers. where is Jack Harlow
Armani? Posted October 5, 2023 Posted October 5, 2023 This isn't even "digital" sales, it's combined(stream & digital) units that are certified 9
Big Bad Wolf Posted October 5, 2023 Posted October 5, 2023 Cardi being spots above her with one album Doja being right under her 4
loveisdead9582 Posted October 5, 2023 Posted October 5, 2023 Sits here patiently waiting for the incoming Nicki Minaj rant response thread.
ithinkheknowsoutsold Posted October 5, 2023 Posted October 5, 2023 This seems wrong and it's not digital sales only, it's based on total RIAA certified song units. 1
HEAVYONIT Posted October 5, 2023 Posted October 5, 2023 This list is simply untrue. Nicki has WAY more than 45.5M digital sales. She is easily top 10.
Axelios Posted October 5, 2023 Posted October 5, 2023 Where is Jay Z? I though he was supposed to be huge globally.
Cloröx Posted October 5, 2023 Posted October 5, 2023 This is not digital sales, most of this artists debut around streaming era when digital sales is dying
KatyPrismSpirit Posted October 5, 2023 Posted October 5, 2023 Did yall even go to college. This list is exactly baseless since there is no credible source given. A magazine article is NOT a valid source!

Yeah this is certifications based on SPS. It’s been known for a while that Cardi has outcertified Nicki on RIAA.
Maroonx Posted October 5, 2023 Posted October 5, 2023 idk if I trust this... How is Cardi higher than Nicki in digital single sales when Nicki's was huge during the digital era, and Cardi became popular during the streaming era... this is suspicious

PoisonPill Posted October 5, 2023 Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) Eminem’s longevity is truly unmatched. Debuting in the 90s, biggest artist of the 2000s, one of the biggest of the 2010s, and one of the most streamed and best selling of the 2020s Edited October 5, 2023 by PoisonPill

It’s entirely possible that Nicki has more certs if you include her features (Side To Side, Swish Swish, Motorsport etc.) But it’s a fact that Cardi has out-certified Nicki for years now. Count them yourself if you want

Blaziken Posted October 5, 2023 Posted October 5, 2023 Quote This graphic is misleading. It lists certified RIAA units but these are not total digital sales. Every artist in this graphic has more sales than their RIAA certified total, as many songs have not been certified or updated yet.

Out of interest: https://www.riaa.com/gold- platinum/?tab_active=default-award&se=cardi+b Cardi B features: 29.5M https://www.riaa.com/gold- platinum/?tab_active=default-award&se=Nicki+minaj#search_section Nicki Minaj features: 43M Total: Cardi = 100M Nicki = 101.5M You can double check. 1
Both Sides Now Posted October 5, 2023 Posted October 5, 2023 In fairness to the post, it’s taken directly from the RIAA website: https://www.riaa.com/gold-platinum/?tab_active=top_tallies&ttt=TAS#search_section It just doesn’t seem to be updated/take into consideration that these certs are SPS.

That's crazy. I haven't even bothered to look at RIAA because I know how out-of-date it is. 1
