In terms of radio airplay, country is by far the most popular music format in the U.S. According to Inside Radio, as of August, 2,014 stations were programming country. 1,323 offered rock, including alternative and classic rock, 516 were spinning pop/top 40, and 364 were playing R&B/hip-hop, including adult R&B and R&B oldies.

Why are you talking about number of stations rather than the size of audiences? Everyone knows there are fewer urban areas than rural ones, just as we know that more of the country lives in urban areas than rural ones. Hip-hop is the biggest genre in the US by revenue.

Rihanna is a crossover artist so her singles appeal to pop and urban radio/market. And until Anti she was more Pop than urban. Country fans buy albums. Hence why it's a big deal that Body Like a back road went top 10 because country singles rarely get that big. we were actually talking about her urban only singles vs taylor's country only singles. and while rihanna is very successful let not act like songs like pour it up/birthday cake... will ever sell half as good as taylor's most country tracks with the same push.

Well that's because Country listeners buy music, Also Taylor is just a Bigger single seller than Rihanna in General. Love Story and Shake It Off have sold more than any Rihanna single. So maybe it's not the genera but the selling power of the artist are you purposefully being ignorant? true taylor is a bigger selling artist than rihanna, on average her songs sell more, so does katy's, and lady gaga's singles, and adele's too...wonder why...

Why are you lumping white people and country together? Only two artists on that list have ever had a country song sell 1M copies. 6 have had urban singles do the same.

Blue G Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 5 minutes ago, AALIYAH DANA said: It's impressive because Taylor has 5 albums to Rih 8. Not to mention a portion of Taylor's 1 million sellers were album tracks. Rihanna has also released more singles off her album than Taylor. Also Taylor is primarily an ALBUM SELLER. AS in all of her albums are 4x Platinum and up. People are buying the Single AND THE Album. The whole point of a single is to sell an album. rihanna has only released 49 singles vs taylors 39 singles as lead and im including the HOME singles. what does being an album seller have to do with single sales? adele is a bigger album seller and her singles still sale buckets loads, so does katy and so did gaga during the fame era, hell even rihanna's loud and GGGB singles did great and those are her best selling albums.

There's a reason 25 singles didn't sell as much as soon as the album was released. i get that logic, but fact of the matter is that people still do buy the singles, even more if the album is successful it seems.

IINSYFA's cover though? Princess of china's single cover has both their names yeah, and the UK OCC charted it as a duet although BB always charted it as a feature so it's totally your call.

franklin Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Goddess of China should stay as a duet since it plays like one tbh. Such an amazing song The Maroon 5 one is definitely a feature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylar Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) C'mon guys, Princess of China is a feature, it doesn't matter if it sounds like a duet. Hmm I'm confused with Billboard's article from 2014, where they listed Shakira's highest selling singles (1M sellers) and they didn't include Whenever, Wherever at all, however in the same article they listed her biggest Hot 100 hits and put Whenever, Wherever at #2, behind Hips Don't Lie. So I believe they definitely made a mistake and forgot to include it. Edited July 28, 2017 by Sylar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
