David LaChapelle DID NOT direct the "Disturbia" video

I changed the column to show that. The song's page on this website even says who directs it, so to whoever keeps messing with it, please stop. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Martin19 (talk • contribs) 00:24, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

Raining Men

Why is Wait Your Turn counted as a promotional single, while Raining Men is not? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.83.6.114 (talk) 17:11, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

Because Raining Men was never a promotional single... Calvin • Watch n' Learn 14:30, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

LOUD sales

There is no way that "LOUD" has sold more copies than "Good girl gone bad" so this stupid 8m figure is dumb, especially since everyone knows it sold 5m and the source (a magazine) isn't even reliable since they always inflate numbers, somebody should but the actual sales with a reliable source. --Duphin (talk) 13:08, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

The source is reliable. There is not problem with it. The problem is with the GGGB source, the album has sold more copies worldwide, but simply we can't find source for it. — Tomica1111 • Question Existing? 13:21, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

Princess of China

Coldplay's song Princess of China featuring Rihanna is missing in the discography. It's only mentioned in the intro.Sofffie7 (talk) 16:25, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

So I added Princess of China with an AllAccess reference and it was removed. So since when All Access is not reliable? The song is being sent to radio, there's a cover art for it and it's being performed in the Grammys. I don't get why it can't be on the table for now, since Take Care is pretty much in the same situation? Decodet (talk) 01:30, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

Loud - UK: 6× Platinum

If Loud had sold 1,700,000 in the UK, it cannot be 6× Platinum because 6× Platinum requires at least 1,800,000 copies (1× Platinum = 300,000 copies).

Rihanna videography

I removed the video sections from this article since I created the videography for Rihanna. She is a superstar and deserves its own videography. It has more than 31 music video, 3 cameo music video appearances, 1 live DVD and 1 upcoming also, 2 film appearances and several commercials. That's really pretty much for videography. — Tomica (talk) 23:42, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

I am not sure how far this source dated October 4, 2011 is reliable but anyone who has been been following the music industry closely will now that this website has considerably inflated the sales of Loud. Please discuss. Jivesh1205 (Talk) 16:06, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

We better discuss this or we will have no other option than to remove those ridiculously inflated sales. Jivesh1205 (Talk) 06:16, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

well i agree with u that those sales are inflated, im always serching news about rihanna, i love her, and i follow a threat in this forum of global charts and they are answered by one of the ppl who works on it this source and it total sales are around 5.7k — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.132.43.230 (talk) 14:10, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Exactly, Mediatraffic may not be reliable but anyone who is not delusional will know that these sales have been outstandingly inflated by at least 1.5 million copies. Jivesh1205 (Talk) 15:01, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Loud sales

Rihanna website says 6,2 million. This is a fiable source which can be added. 109.10.27.101 (talk) 09:44, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

We will actually need a Third-party source, which her website is not. I am pretty sure that the album sold more than 6 million copies WW, but we have to find a reliable source before adding it into the discography. — Tomica (talk) 10:15, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
I understand but mostly websites will now say 6,2 million, unless her label say anything which ain't really expected. I agree; sales are between 6 and 6,5 million. — 109.10.27.101 (talk) 10:38, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

Singles and cd table

Hi, i wanted to suggest to short the table by decades like 2000s and singles then 2010s singles cuz rihanna release music every short time and its kind of annoying going to the top of the table to see the countrys, just saying it could be handy (also certification making each single longer doesnt help)

also maybe u could mention something about rihanna colaborating with calvin harris in his album http://www.nme.com/news/calvin-harris/65684 and rihanna recording a new album http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/news/a400450/rihanna-recording-stadium-anthems-for-new-album.html

'We Found Love' and 'S&M'

'We Found Love' sold 902,000 in the UK, so should it be Platinum? Also 'S&M' sold 643,000 so should it not be Platinum as well? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.251.100.196 (talk) 08:03, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

In theory, yes but as long as her label doesn't buy these certifications, they don't belong with Rihanna. · Mcdonalds (talk · cont), at 11:49, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

Princess of China

Rihanna on "Princess of China" is credited as "and" so maybe moved to a lead artist because its said to be a joint single? --ᶛᵃʳᵏ ˢͪᵃᵈᵒʷᵀᴬᴸᴷ 20:59, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

ugh... I dunno, even if it says "and" it's pretty obvious Rihanna is the featured artist, shouldn't singles on the lead artist section be for singles released from a Rihanna album or a soundtrack or something??? Just my opinion. --Duphin (talk) 16:13, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
EP by Coldplay & Rihanna. On the single and the album version Rihanna is not featured, rather the song is duet between Coldplay and Rihanna. — Tomica (talk) 16:22, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
Makes sense to me. "Princess of China" is credited as a duet, not a Coldplay song featuring Rihanna. It should be the same case as Beyoncé and Shakira's Beautiful Liar, will.i.am and Nicki Minaj's Check It Out and David Guetta and Chris Willis' Getting Over You. Decodet (talk) 16:24, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

Birthday Cake chart position

BC has gone up to #55 on the US charts: http://www.billboard.com/#/charts/hot-100?begin=51&order=position --mikomango mwa! 15:10, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

Song is now at #39: http://www.billboard.com/#/charts/hot-100?begin=31&order=position--mikomango mwa! 12:03, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

"Birthday Cake" by Rihanna featuring Chris Brown (as opposed to the original version) peaked at No. 2 R&B/Hip-Hop, not No. 4. (I think it was at a No. 4 peak as only credited to Rihanna or something like that.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.210.146.149 (talk) 08:32, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

Birthday Cake is listed in position #39 under "other charted singles" and #24 under charted singles. One of these should be deleted/changed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.213.243.130 (talk) 17:08, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

The remix version featuring Chris Brown is a single and charted on the Hot 100 at 24, while the original interlude (which is not a single) charted at number 39. They should both stay. — Tomica (talk) 17:13, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

Total WW sales

There is a refence that claim she sold 37M albums and 147M singles. Sorry but I think that is imposible, mostly since de last source we had before said in march 2012 that she sold 25M albums and 60M singles. It is impossible she sold 12M albums and 87M digital singles in only six month. As much as I love Rihanna the new sales are just impossible and wrong. We should find a better source for sales.--Albes29 (talk) 16:49, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

Maybe the previous source was older and outdated, meaning they used information from previous years? This source is a reliable source, and I don't see reason for not being used here. — Tomica (talk) 16:52, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
That source cannot be used. First off, its ridiculously inflated. Its almost laughable. Her certifications are around 75 million, so implying her sales to be near 200 is just plain crazy. Secondly, LiveNation is not a third-party source, its a website used to promote her new tour. We need independent sources.--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 17:06, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
The source is actually not from Live Nation, but from The Sacramento Bee, so I don't see reason why we can't use it. And what is ridiculous around here? She has 6 studio albums, we all know that they sell averagely so 37 million is perfectly fine. She is the digital artist of the decade so the 146 number goes fine to me too. — Tomica (talk) 17:10, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
The original source is LiveNation, The Sacramento Bee took the info from them. Rihanna has sold around 48M digital singles in US, 100M more ww is just impossible. I think until we get a different source we should remove those numbers.--Albes29 (talk) 18:28, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
Tommy. I'm sorry, but do you realize nothing you are saying has any logic to it? She is the digital artist of the decade, so that seems about right. Well, The Beatles are the best-selling artists of all time, so 10 trillion records sounds about right to me! Come on, the US accounts for more than 50%+ of global sales, that number is impossible.--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 19:19, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
Is everyone missing the point? Rihanna is one of the biggest selling artists that much I agree. Her best market is the UK where's she's sold 20m digital units in the last 6 years (i believe - not sure if this is singles or albums). So the suggestion that she's sold 87m digital singles in six months is not only ludacris but there isn't enough music buyers in the world to make that possible. Not being funny but not even Adele could sell 12m albums and 87 million singles worldwide in six months. Its phyiscally impossible. — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 [talk] 19:27, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
That was covered in the first post... and no, technically her best market is the US.--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 19:30, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
I thought album-wise she sells more in the UK? I suppose the relative size of the market has to be factored in.. But yeah either way its not probable, likely or possible. — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 [talk] 19:42, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
Yes, per record sale/number of citizens, the UK is stronger, but the US always overshadows because of its population. And yes, agreed.--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 20:06, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
Based on population, Rihanna sells more albums in the UK and more singles in the US. — Tomica (talk) 20:15, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

Edit request on 4 October 2012

In singles, why does Talk That Talk have 2 sections? It needs to be one. I know it's hard to make sense of what I mean, but if you look at the singles section, you'll know. 68.44.51.49 (talk) 00:41, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

edit request: Diamonds is #1 in France

For some reason this article refuses to reflect that, but the Diamonds article does. What gives? Here is the source:http://www.chartsinfrance.net/actualite/news-82183.html--161.221.87.4 (talk) 01:36, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

Watch out for a means of providing a citation for this. There isn't one just yet so I haven't put this into the actual article, but it's worth noting that with her latest UK chart topper "Diamonds," adding up all the weeks on chart that all her hit singles have amassed, she now has a total of 773 as of W/E 13 Oct 2012, which is 1 more than the Shadows. This makes Rihanna the 3rd most charted artist in UK chart history, with only Elvis Presley and Cliff Richard left to overtake. And she's done this in just 7 years and 1 month.2.99.26.230 (talk) 23:15, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

Princess of China

Princess of China should not be in the "As lead artist" section as the lead artist is Coldplay. On YouTube, the official video is Coldplay feat. Rihanna and on the single article it is Coldplay and Rihanna. The single appears on Coldplay's album, therefore Rihanna is the featured artist. It needs to be moved to featured. Iluvrihanna24 (talk) 18:00, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

We don't use YouTube as a reliable source for song titles. It is a duet. This has been debated before. Just because it's on their album, doesn't mean it can't be a duet. That's a ridiculous thing to say. AARON• TALK 18:12, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
Buy Mylo Xyloto and look in the booklet and the back cover, you will see [number]. "Princess of China" (with Rihanna). That means it's a duet. As Calvin said it was discussed before and was reached an agreement. — Tomíca(T2ME) 18:38, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

Cockiness single?

How can Cockiness be consider a single, when the only source is digital download, theres no source of radio release?? in the US a song to be a single needs radio release, which hasnt been sourced to Cockiness, because it hasnt been released as single.

Somebody needs to remove Cockiness or bring a source with radio release! thank U.

--91.154.99.169 (talk) 18:09, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

Nor in US, nor everywhere, the song doesn't need to be sent to radio to be a single. If it has a digital download date it is a single already. Thank you. — Tomica (talk) 18:11, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
I've told that before but hmm, I still don't get why Cockiness is a single just because it was released to iTunes. Songs are released all the time, specially if it is a remix. Just because it says "- Single" in the "album title" doesn't necessarily mean it is a single. Prior the release of albums, iTunes usually releases songs as part of a "countdown", like when Katy Perry released "E.T", "Circle the Drain" and "Not Like the Movies" to iTunes individually before the album was released, so you would say they are singles too ? (not talking, of course, about E.T. which was later released as a single). Decodet (talk) 20:19, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
Can you find those songs that you named in the comment above now on iTunes to buy them separately (no from Teenage Dream)? No, you can't ... cause they were promotional singles. If Rihanna removes "Cockiness" from iTunes it will become promo single, now is single. — Tomica (talk) 21:16, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
Yeah but by saying that you would say Only Girl, We Found Love and several other songs were promo singles too because we can't find them separately on iTunes. And why aren't this, this, this and this on the table as well? I don't see why Cockiness is any different. Decodet (talk) 21:31, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
Singles are always removed from the iTunes Store once the album is released. Cockiness is different because all those you listed, are remixes of a song that also released as a single. Cockiness was only released in the remix form. It's the same type of release as Birthday Cake, expect it was released to buy instead of sent to radio. Zac  21:36, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
I don't really see Birthday Cake the same way I see Cockiness... I see Cockiness more like Sleazy Remix by Kesha which is a non-single remix that was also not sent to radios and is not considered a single anywhere. I would like to see more people sharing their points of view and help me understand why this should be a single because I still don't see logic in this lol Decodet (talk) 21:53, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
The "Sleazy" remix should be labelled as a single. Zac  14:21, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

Cockiness should not be considered as a single for the reasons listed above. --HC 5555 (talk) 06:51, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

"Cockiness" is not an official single. Rihanna just had ASAP Rocky perform it with her at theMTV VMAs, and released the studio version of what was performed the following day. It was not sent to radio.--68.248.73.238 (talk) 19:57, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

Charity singles

Why do these have their own section? One is Rihanna as lead artist, the other as featured. Charity singles don't get their own section just because they're for charity. –anemoneprojectors– 16:19, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

Oh good, they got merged. Thanks to whoever did that. I would have done it but with all the different countries and charts and references it looked soooo complicated! –anemoneprojectors– 20:39, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

Single sales

I don't think it's a good idea having single sales added to the single table. It's not something which is done on the other artist discography pages and considering most of them are incredibly out of date or are only based on the thresholds of the certifications, they aren't much use. They can be used in the respective pages for each single, but I strongly disagree that they are included on the discography page - above all it looks messy.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Liamk97 (talk • contribs) 22:24, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Rihanna discography

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Rihanna discography's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "AUSCert":

  • From You da One: "Accreditations of 2012 Singles". Australian Recording Industry Association. 2012. Retrieved July 14, 2012.
  • From Take a Bow (Rihanna song): "ARIA Charts – Accreditations – 2008 Singles". ARIA. Retrieved October 15, 2011.

Reference named "NZCert":

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 07:35, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

Just Stand Up

Rihanna is credited in this song as part of the group "Artists Stand Up to Cancer". If she's part of the "main act", isn't it supposed to be listed as a single as main artist instead of featured artist? Decodet (talk) 23:21, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

Jump

Jump appears in both the singles and the other charted songs section. I'm not aware that it's been released as a single and it's not on the article so should it be removed from the singles section? 85.210.171.191 (talk) 17:12, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Singles "Sales/Certifications"

I suggest removing the sales from the singles column for the following reasons:

  • Sales figures are not available for single for many markets; usually only US and UK are available (and that's if we're lucky)
  • Mixing sales and certifications is messy, confusing and adds a touch of original research, as many certifying bodies acknowledge shipments, not sales for certs.
  • Singles' sales figures are not updated as regularly as albums, and after a few years the media stop reporting on older singles.
  • Wikipedia-wide consensus tends toward the proposed WP:DISCOGSTYLE, and I haven't seen many discography pages like this.

Thoughts? Were there particular reasons why they were added in the first place? Adabow (talk) 10:58, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

I've never been a fan of adding singles sales on discographies, for the reasons you've pointed out above. I couldn't agree more. decodet. (talk) 19:06, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

Apart from 470000 copies purchased through the service, 1,000,000 people downloaded the album for free which was a "gift" from Rihanna and Samsung. I think it should be added to sales since Samsung spent 6,000,000 dollars on digital copies of Anti and people decided to download it -> it's equal to the album being bought — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.248.255.251 (talk) 12:48, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
