Thats why all of Shania’s huge singles straddle different charts without going #1 on a specific pop chart.

Rihanna song charted on many different charts then pop went number one on charts such as hot 100 latin songs, hot 100 dance club play, and hot R&B/ Hip-hop

I just checked best selling albums worldwide in history.
The backstreet boys biggest selling album is millenium which sold 26 million worldwide and they are out of the top 20.

Shania’s Come on over album sold over 38 million worldwide and is #7 on the list of biggest selling albums worlwide in history.

Troy, you sound like such a real fool. Singles are counted differently now and they chart different with digital downloads.
And once again you tell a bold faced lie. The back street boys biggest album didn’t even come close to Shania’s bigges album.
Go and check the best selling albums of alltime worldwide. Shania has the 6th biggest global selling album of alltime and the Back street boys arent’ even in the top 10.
You need a serious reality check, Rianna is just a pop singer who has her singles chart high because of the way charts work now. But Rhianni would be a small time seller of albums in any era. For all the radio airplay she gets on pop radio she sells very little.
Big global icons are people like Shania who don’t concentrate on one chart and are on all formats. Thats why all of Shania’s huge singles straddle different charts without going #1 on a specific pop chart.
Shania’s songs are so more well known because they are classics known worldwide.
It doesn’t matter what era you talk in, Shania has the biggest female album of alltime and no female in history in any era has sold as much with an album as Shania did with Come on over.

Matt B: Not to mention, difficult to compare as they competed in different eras with different economic factors.

“I warned you to stop this already. Drop this whole subject.”

Sounds like a threat, “Paul.”

Can we all just stop this nonsense about Shania/Rihanna and who is the global star? It’s getting old.

Rihanna song Umbrella was the highest charting song of 2007 look up how long it was number one on the world chart. Also, sales have decreased with people now downloading the song. Lets look at some digital sales.

Also if u put it up against a cd that came out around the same time the backstreet boys millennium Cd sold over 40 million in the world.

Also how many number one has Shaina had on the US hot 100 on billboard compared to Rihanna
