According to this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_music_artists, Rihanna is the 5th best-selling female artist of all time. The figures are based on sales of albums, singles, compilation-albums, music videos as well as downloads of singles and full-length albums. I think it's the sales in singles that put Rihanna to the 5th spot.

Great job to Taylor Swift as well, taking the 7th spot.

Congratulations Rihanna and Taylor!

1. Madonna

2. Mariah Carey

3. Celine Dion

4. Whitney Houston

5. Rihanna

Spears, Perry and Swift don't deserve to be among these names.

Whoa! Katy only has 4 albums and she's in the top 15? Amazing!

Her first album didn't sell that much, so she's basically working with three.

It's not that she had hits but they did songs with people who have hits. If Katy did one verse on Lil Wayne's song and that song is a hit. Katy gets credit for it. When madonna, Whitney, janet were singing, you only got credit if you were the main artist. Right now Nicky Minaj has more top 50 hits then michael jackson. So they are using a different standard when adding up the numbers

Not really a fan of any of those ladies when it comes to their music. I personally prefer Regina Spektor and Sara Bareilles.

@dark_hammer: You're right. But it IS, however, problematic to the thread itself when you flaunt around your opinions that are WRONG!
