Taylor Swift vs Rihanna Album Sales Battle | Chart History 

yeah, impressive but it’s honestly a bit overrated

@@alberto_bifulco 50% bitterness 50% spill

trans lipa is nothing without tiktok tho

@@simpsonslifeline And tiktok can't even help your fav homewreker

Maybe Midnights

More than every ariana album too

@@removerefuge YES AND IS COMING

Lover is bad

@@boocam8816that’s ur opinion, it’s a great album

Nobody asked

@@sreeyansarout6497they literally just shared their opinion, I may not agree with it but nobody said they couldn’t share it.

I think the key to appreciate Taylor’s is listening closely to the lyrics, knowing that she wrote them (along with the melody). They’re relatable. Also, look at her musicianship. She sings live, she plays the guitar and the piano live while singing. She doesn’t just perform, she writes, sings and plays her songs. It’s not just the end product that you listen to in the album, but how much she’s involved in the process. Also, don’t listen only to her most known hits like Shake It Off, they do not make her justice. There are so many hidden gems and that’s why she is such a good album sellers, because most songs on her albums are worth listening to, not just the singles.

actually these data are from chartmasters and every album means how much the era of that album, including the singles, sold in EAS (equivalent album sales)… so singles are included in these measurements, it’s not just pure album sales. It’s equivalent album sales, which incorporate everything (downloads, pure sales, streaming, of both albums and singles alike, there are math formulas to weight all the formats)

yes, the best way to compare albums!!!!

Her albums aren't massive as "albums" though, at least in the traditional definition of the word. Most of her """album""" units come from digital song sales from two or three singles that are then converted to album equivalents according to a formula, she gets very low album sales or album track streams. So yes, she is a singles artist, but she's not an albums artist.

oh really!!!

@@purehero13yes!

maybe it's better not to, because kanye’s fans will have a panic attack 😂

NO PLEASE I AM SCARED OF WW3

I would say that actually, only her first two albums, because Speak Now (her third) you begin to see how she is deviating towards a more pop punk/pop rock sound, and not mention Red, which is practically pure pop with overtones of country

idk enough about little mix, sorry(

Okie, that’s alright ❤️

that’s eugene swift - alt.wav

omfg thanksss @@purehero13

i think it’s obvious, but camilla x halsey is possible

@@purehero13ok

hahahah ok guy) have a great day

@@umm_mmm thanks bro

Ri doesn't hold a candle to Taylor's success, especially in terms of album sales. She is a singles artist who achieves some decent singles chart success because of her music genre being RnB, Pop, EDM etc. Taylor Swift made 3 country albums first, then 1 country and pop album and then 3 pop albums, 2 folk albums and then 1 synth pop album and yet managed to achieve global success with this type of discography. And what's more impressive is the fact that she has amazing longevity. So obviously it's not a big deal for someone like Taylor Swift to have these amazing EAS way before even re-recording. For an artist who can casually gross $2B with her tour, sales like these are literally nothing for her. It's almost criminal how people downplay her success and over exaggerate other artists' success just because they think the world revolves around their fav. Her albums have always charted altogether for years and years on the Billboard 200 albums chart even if it's more than a decade old and this has been the case even before the re-release of her albums. Meanwhile Rihanna struggles to go #1 on Billboard 200 albums chart, let alone stay on the charts for years. You are just an ignorant person who is not up-to-date with the charts. Nobody, who knows about Taylor's sales can make these outrageous claims. She outsold Riri with EAS even by the time of 2018. And speaking of Ri's albums selling 14M EAS, Taylor Swift's sales shown here are not even with updated pure sales. If you add that, Taylor will easily look like someone who has 2 times the EAS of someone like Ri. Don't be delusional in your favouritism.

Ikr

and then arianators are the problem when y'all swifties are dragging ariana unprovoked every chance u get, so insecure 😭😭 anyways YES AND COMING OUT THIS FRIDAY 💋

global

Correct answer: Fake

It is factuall tho

not only but yes

@@purehero13 chartmasters isnt a reliable source though. Its not official sales.

​@@frehnibabulno8870 It's a better source. It takes everything into account. It converts everything into Equivalent album sales which is a better way to show the sales. There is no such thing as non-streaming sales making someone bigger or richer than someone who sold through streaming.

@@frehnibabulno8870 forbes uses chartmasters data

@@sreeyansarout6497it’s by far the best site and it actually explains where they draw the data from and how they do the math. Way more reliable than any claimed data or certifications, which are often manipulated

That’s singles + albums 🥹

Both outsold beytanka

That’s not true Madonna is #1 then Taylor

Record sales don't matter. Equivalent album units matter. It's more impressive to sell less records if you have sold a lot of albums. Rihanna's album sales are lame as f. She heavily depends upon her singles to gain some decent success for her album. Taylor still, in this streaming era, is selling more pure albums than Rihanna's most albums. Album sales >>>>>>>>>>>> singles sales.

@@taylipa bey's impact>>>>>

You are such a attention seeker u write this on all videos its like ur a secret fan of Ariana mr insecure

she’s not in the video

Seek help

Like Dua Macho

This video isn’t even about her 😂😂😂

The increase of Lover sales in April/may+ is cus of Cruel Summer

@@refqyz8349 i know but it’s just crazy… i don’t really get the hype

Ummm talent won

@@Pablorome what is that even supposed to mean? that reputation is talentless or what?

@@Pablorome in your dreams

So?

Fr

@@umm_mmm This was done by a fan of the humbback

yep lol your dumb talentless favs are sooo much better)

@@NUma-mu4kd big forehead stan talking

I think they did exactly that, and Taylor clearly won. Facts.

@@MJ-fy4yjnow you know these sales aren’t real and like she said you cannot compare Taylor to the legend that is Rihanna

@@MJ-fy4yjit’s funny how pop was at its peak when Rihanna was running it. Now that Taylor is running it there saying it’s dead. Like we said NO competition.

​@@fan7708 That’s because taylor was a country artist and she didn’t switch to pop until 2014 yet still did suprisingly good before then with country pop songs and shes dominated ever since she released 1989. Rihanna was pumping out albums every year while taylor actually took her time and dropped every 2 years

@@boutglo6853 “pumping out albums every year” as if that’s not what Taylor’s doing now. Rihanna worked on her albums day and night for MONTHS. Which is also the same amount of time it usually takes Taylor. She made 1989 in a few months. She says what takes longest is figuring out what musical direction she wants to take, Rihanna always knows what musicial direction she wants to take.

This video is about album sales, not about iconic songs . PERIOD!.

lol, Taylor swift is more iconic too

@@taytaychen5938LMFAOOO STOP
