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!
