Just when I thought the Rihanna reign had let up. Congrats to her, honestly thought Taylor Swift would have hit this first, then again Rih IS Queen of Billboard.

But they mean something quite real, and Rihanna has over 100 million of them.

You wouldn't be...hating right now, would you?

[Koodo]

The fact that your bandwagoning of Rhat brought along the demise of her career like everything else you've stanned in the past.

 

[Dr. Malik]

This means nothing since they added streaming to their certifications, makes it less impressive when its from 37 songs lmao

 

[Yellowtail]

 

[Ivan 3414]

She excretes an album out every 3 months so I suppose it has to work out for her somehow.

Hey, I stopped stanning Gaga before ha career died.

 

[rhandino]

"B-but she was flopping", "The struggle to remain relevant", Etc..

PopGAF worships Rhianna like a god and it's really confusing.

Edit: Weird is the wrong word.

 

[Booshka]

Pop star makes popular music and is successful.

Not really tho, ask Britney Spears

Just like some of GAF worships Queen and treats Freddy Mercury as a God?

It's not that confusing.

Yeah they're confusing as well. Musicians aren't gods. They do music and concerts and merchandise that people buy and attend.

Wait, that does sound a lot like organized religion.

It really isn't. It's just really liking something. You can't tell me there's nothing in life that you don't just love a lot, like living, or breathing, being able to see the next day, eating food.

It's a human reaction to loving something whether it be a person, music, sex. I mean....

it sounded more like a backtrack to realising they said something super dumb

Too bad BBHMM is one of her absolute worsts and shows she's lost it.

 

[JDSN]

But.. bad role model...thot....practically nude...

Remember when he dragged Beyoncé for not having an album?

What is a song certification?

Quoting Wikipedia:

Music recording sales certification is a system of certifying that a music recording has shipped or sold a certain number of copies. The threshold quantity varies by type (such as album, single, music video) and by nation or territory.

aren't you the same 'Koodo' NeoGAF poster that single-handedly stanned Britney Spears & Lady Gaga into the dirt, tho? The latter of which was most certainly a bandwagon affair...

i mean

It's been almost 3 years since her last album. It can't come soon enough.

 

[ItIsOkBro]

Well it's basically a numbers game for Rihanna I mean she's had like 10 singles a year.

 

[Cereal KiIIer]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_albums

She's still a nobody by my standards.

 

[dekline]

 

[Ovid]

Congrats to her.

I never would've thought that she would get this big after releasing "Pon De Replay".

 

[Miles X]

10 years, 37 singles, 3.7 singles a year ... basic math dude.

 

[PeskyToaster]

Quoting Wikipedia:Link

Oh I just did some reading. I thought like 1 gold = 1 gold certification but it equals 500,000 certification units. Looking at different data she doesn't even chart on certs for albums which is dominated by more classic artists. Elvis tops the albums and is second on singles.
