Rihanna's record sales in the UK has passed to 10 million mark, her record label has announced.

The singer has reached the milestone six years after the release of her debut album, 'Music Of The Sun' in 2005.

Rihanna is the only female artist to have a number one hit single in five consecutive years in the UK, and also secured the longest running number one of the last decade with 2007’s 'Umbrella', which retained the top spot for ten consecutive weeks.


Her most recent album 'Loud' has already produced two number one singles and sold over a million copies in the UK, becoming her fastest-selling album.

Mercury Music Group UK President Jason ILey said: “It was clear to me from the first time that I met Rihanna that she had the potential to be one of the most successful artists in the world.

“It has been a privilege to work with her these past six years. I believe that we have only seen the tip of the iceberg, and I’m looking forward to seeing her achieve even greater success in the coming months and years.”

I don't see Rihanna trying to be hypersexual and disgusting when she's 50, so yeah, better than Madonna.

Of course Rihanna will probably still look flawless at that age so she can do whatever da fuq she wants

I still think Rated R is her best.
[info]teenageriot16 23rd-Feb-2011 06:33 pm (UTC)
Rated R was flawless, and I'm not sure why it was so overlooked because it was by far her best.
[info]damourkrist 23rd-Feb-2011 06:40 pm (UTC)
that's her only album i can listen to
[info]bollyhood 23rd-Feb-2011 06:43 pm (UTC)

[info]tankmachine 23rd-Feb-2011 06:21 pm (UTC)
i came a few times when i first laid my eyes on those pics tbh
[info]scheisse 23rd-Feb-2011 06:16 pm (UTC)
I like her and her music, but, imo, there's nothing special about her. She doesn't dance, her voice isn't incredibly strong, and she doesn't play any instruments. Then again, I don't hold any of that against her because I don't consider her a pop star, but more of an R&B artist.
[info]silverfox1027 *23rd-Feb-2011 06:18 pm (UTC)
Rihanna is not R&B at all.
[info]degele Re: *23rd-Feb-2011 06:22 pm (UTC)
lmfao ikr. she is pure pop.
[info]hahahey 23rd-Feb-2011 06:21 pm (UTC)
iawtc, and even the dancing that she started to do with What's My Name is basic as fuck.
[info]filmfreakfranco 23rd-Feb-2011 06:22 pm (UTC)
My thoughts exactly, even Ke$ha and Katy Perry are 1000x better than her.
[info]tankmachine 23rd-Feb-2011 06:22 pm (UTC)
if you're calling rihanna rnb then it renders your entire comment invalid tbh

sorry
[info]phillymademe 23rd-Feb-2011 06:23 pm (UTC)
Rihanna is not R&B.
[info]alicepractice 23rd-Feb-2011 06:18 pm (UTC)
too useless for words.
[info]filmfreakfranco 23rd-Feb-2011 06:20 pm (UTC)
correct.
[info]filmfreakfranco 23rd-Feb-2011 06:20 pm (UTC)
mte, i just don't know how people can praise her for being so basic
[info]vickileekx 23rd-Feb-2011 06:25 pm (UTC)
I love your username
[info]itsglenncoco 23rd-Feb-2011 06:18 pm (UTC)
Love this bitch so much. Wish I was going to see her this year :(
[info]treatyoself 23rd-Feb-2011 08:58 pm (UTC)
She's still adding more dates! Where do you live or what city's show would you be able to make it to?
[info]itsglenncoco 23rd-Feb-2011 09:58 pm (UTC)
Dublin, I went last June, she was so great :)
[info]filmfreakfranco 23rd-Feb-2011 06:19 pm (UTC)
Rihanna is the only female artist to have a number one hit single in five consecutive years in the UK

that's because the robot basically releases an album every damn year unlike most female artists....
[info]filmfreakfranco 23rd-Feb-2011 06:21 pm (UTC)

[info]degele 23rd-Feb-2011 06:22 pm (UTC)

lmao since when?
[info]silverfox1027 23rd-Feb-2011 06:19 pm (UTC)
She's a massive digital seller everywhere, though I don't understand why she doesn't push massive album sales in the U.S.
[info]tankmachine 23rd-Feb-2011 06:23 pm (UTC)
maybe not first week sales but they add up after a while
[info]fabulous820 23rd-Feb-2011 06:19 pm (UTC)
