    disco Rihanna the UK's biggest selling singles artist of the Year [2011 Edition]

    I wasn't quite sure if she'd be overtake Adele but apparently she has!

    New sales data from the Official Charts Company reveals that Rihanna has overtaken Adele to become the UK’s biggest singles artist of 2011.

    Based on all sales year to date, Rihanna has sold 3,119,000 tracks in the UK while Adele has sold 3113,000. Rihanna overtook Adele last month to become the artist who has spent the most week’s at the top of the Official Singles Chart in 2011 when her track ‘We Found Love’, Ft Calvin Harris, gave the Barbadian singer her then collective sixth week at Number 1 compared to Adele’s five.

    ‘We Found Love’, from her current album ‘Talk That Talk’ is RiRi’s biggest selling single this year, clocking up over 771,000 sales, making it the eighth biggest selling single of 2011 so far, while tracks such as ‘S&M’ (633,000) and ‘What’s My Name’ (343,000), which are taken from her 2010 album, ‘Loud’, have continued to sell well this year.
    It's like you're screaming . . . and no one can hear;
    you almost feel ashamed . . . that someone could be that important

    Is We Found Love only at 771,000 now? Not close to Moves Like Jagger at all then.
    What's confusing? We just find the heart of the prison and the dragon who speaks without walls, and we're home free. Simple.

    She's going to end up being the biggest selling female (singles wise) in the UK in just a few years at this rate! Madonna is on about 17 million and she's already on about 12.5 million.

    What is What's My Name's total figure? If it was less than S&M that would be an extreme injustice

    It isn't, it's around 750k.
