Not surprising. This was a huge era for her. But didn't Beyonce also have more singles? Formation, Hold Up, Sorry, All Night, and Daddy Lessons. Rihanna had Work, Kiss It Better, Needed Me, and Love on the Brain.
Regardless this just proves that Beyonce and Rihanna are the only pop girls left in the industry with longevity.

Radio didn't really support any single from Lemonade, but she still managed to sell only 20k less than Rihanna, whose singles were big hits like Work and Needed Me.

Agreed.

Taylor slays them in single sales? Taylor isn't the #1 singles artist, not yet.
She does slay them in album sales, you're right. However, they've been commerc2000ial pop artists for much longer than Swift, whose first real pop crossover came with Red, so I guess that's why I didn't think of her.

Taylor does not slay either of them in single sales, especially Rihanna. Album sales yes. Taylor wasn't even a pop star until she crossed over during Red, so she has some more time before proving longevity in pop music.

Taylor wasn't that popular outside of America until Red in 2012. Her pop crossover and her longevity in pop music is still to be seen. She's only been relevant for most people in the world for four or five years.

America is the biggest western market in the world and to stay consistently successful there for your entire run is very impressive. Oh and Love Story was a big hit worldwide. In fact the only album of hers not to achieve Worldwide success is her debut (she's been huge in Australia).
