Who cares anyway? Its not like she can sell any albums! Who had the 2nd best selling album of 2011?

She's only top because she releases a new dumb song every week!

Well congratulations to her, but at the end of the day she has released twice the output of Lady Gaga so in fact Gaga's achievements are all the more remarkable.

Not saying that as huge fan of either, but those are the facts.

DS doesn't post any original information in order to be wrong.

Billboard's post was misleading/inaccurate. Rihanna has more VEVO views (2,083,762,209) than Gaga (2,050,345,764) but the latter has a second official channel (165,584,877) which makes her YouTube views higher (2,215,930,641). A bit of research and math was beyond them both, apparently.

I enjoyed how they focused on Y&I and MTN's views to compare to WFL rather than Judas's with it's 124,697,698 views.

Rihanna will overtake Gaga, she just hasn't yet.

Billboard isn't wrong. It seems you don't understand what it is they are measuring!

Digitalspy as a news outlet are about as much use as an inflatable dart board. Take anything that's posted with a pinch of salt.

Did they make that distinction?

They both are titled and explicitly say that Rihanna has beat Lady Gaga as the most viewed female artist on YouTube.

That, as I explained, is not correct. Lady Gaga has the most YouTube views, and she is a female artist. Her other channel is still official.

What they mean - but fail to say - is that Rihanna has the most views for a female artist on VEVO and/or that Rihanna has the most music video views for a female artist on VEVO.

It's pedantic perhaps, but my point is that VEVO =/= YouTube. Rihanna isn't "the most viewed female artist on YouTube".

I knew it was lies, who would want to watch her videos and look at her fat nose and huge forehead...that's why she's constantly thrusting her crotch at us to distract from that face!

She has zero artistic intergrity!

It's not a question of "believing" Billboard.

I would've thought that we'd be congratulating Gaga for holding her up for all this time. With her 17 music videos and Rihanna's 34 (I think), it's not like Rihanna hasn't had a lot of things to beat her with.

They are the well respected experts.

To be fair to Rihanna she has worked her way up slowly and only really taken off these past few years.

Its hard to believe she is the same girl who released this all those years ago.

You obviously do.

Gaga may have the 2nd biggest selling album of the year but it's about 12 million off Adele who is first. Michael Bublé is also not far off Gaga with his "Christmas" album after just 2 months of sales. Hardly as impressive as you think when you look at it like that and consider the 7 million sales drop she's suffered with this album.

Gaga has released 5 singles and 1 promo song from Born This Way in 9 months, three of those singles and the promo were actually released in the space of 3 months. Let's not have a dig about Rihanna and her single releases shall we.

Yes she has!

MOTS - 1m+
AGLM - 3m+
GGGB - 8m+
RR - 3m+
L - 6m+
TTT - 2m+

Total 23m+

Gaga

TF/M - 13m+
BTW - 5.5m+

Total - 18.3m+


Now us universal music fans will be bashed for correcting the "little monster". What will then happen is the assertion of the fact that Rihanna has released more albums than gaga. I was only responding to the post. Gaga has NOT sold more albums WW than Rihanna. And has not sold more singles than Rihanna WW.

I couldn't care less about video views on YouTube regardless.
