Lmao, the way she is bragging about these 170 songs I think she's still in the running. Taylor had to do single variants to block Lift Me Up from going number 1, a funeral lullaby for a movie soundtrack.

There's very few universal hits this decade. Off the top of my head Old Town Road and Not Like Us, maybe Die With A Smile can be added. That said with the lack of hit songs Taylor's success would put her on top.

Taylor deserves her success for sure, she just isn't up against any competition. It's kinda sad Rihanna will come back as Taylor starts her mommy journey. It'll be boring and weird for Rihanna to get #1 after #1 every time she releases something with no effort. But Rihanna's hits are hits that made it despite the height of competition. I would say Rihanna's 10 active years were the hardest years in music and she made it despite it.

She should release 3 or 4 every two weeks for 3 years.

Meanwhile she has the best selling black female album of the 2000s and the 2010s. And if we deserve R9 this decade, she'll take this decade too.

Yes, And the Mariah Carey remix is my favorite version!

Where is the combating transphobia strategy? Where's the combating anti black strategy? This is political posturing to appease the wealthy Jewish community while once again putting them on a pedestal that the truly vulnerable seem unworthy of. Gender affirming care is a nice initiative, how about focusing on the constant murders?

My niece is 5 and she's obsessed with the Spice Girls probably more than my sister and I were. I believe it. This is probably true for Rihanna as well. When you have a truly classic discography you live forever.

Because 21 came before 25, everyone bought 21 and were excited for 25. Men women gay straight old young and all ethnicities, everyone. Taylor's are usually mass buys from a group of super fans with multiple variants. No hate, I'm definitely pitching in with at least 1 purchase.

And there lies the answer.

well look at how you framed the OP where are Rihanna's numbers? #65 Umbrella 1,664,186 #73 Don't Stop The Music 1,607,960 #109 We Found Love 1,387,937 #129 Only Girl (In The World) 1,340,502 #140 S&M 1,297,539 #175 Kiss It Better 1,208,772
