  Rihanna has sold more singles in the US than those two, but she's sold less than 10 million copies of her 7 albums over there... Six platinum records doesn't really say much if they've only just crossed the million units sold.

  What are her total single figures? (Interested to see how close it is seeing as she had a few years start on them)

  I think she is nearing 70 million singles sold in the US. In 2011 she had sold 47 million, and she sells at least 10 million every year, so she'd be around 65-68 now, I'd say.

  I'm surprised their total single sales are so close, considering.

  I am amazed that Teenage Dream has not sold over 3 million when you look at how her singles performed :eek:

  i disagree, most of her album campaigns have been over within a year, so to achieve 6 platinum albums in such quick succession is quite impressive in my opinion.

  It would be pretty difficult to compare on recent albums and single sales as Lady Gaga's record company has been pretty sketchy on sales figures in fact blatantly misleading. They claim Art Pop has WW sales of 2.5 million however considering U.S sales,UK sales and France don't even account for 1 million and they are the three biggest markets there must be a lot of warehouses with the other 1.5 million copies. They have also not released sales figures for her recent singles. Her current tour they have released as 100% sold out yet attendance figures of 8000 in stadiums that have a capacity of 18'000 pretty much confirm they are. If you look at all the U.S. Dates and capacity figures of venues compared to attendance figures there is a huge difference. Her European figures have not been released however going off recent concerts i.e. Greece the capacity was 75,000 yet it's reported only 20,000 tickets sold.
  Realistically speaking Katy Perry I think will be ahead now.
