She's doing better overall than all her contemporaries/peers from Beyonce to Zendaya. Is Riri the biggest black superstar out right now by far? With no one in her zone?

Yes. She has been since 2007.

What is HBIC?

Yes not just biggest black artist but just biggest artist overall

Head bitch period. But yes, since 07

is this the first time you've woken up since 2007?

Hmm no not really. Bey is still a bigger household name. If you don't listen to pop radio, chances are low you know Rihanna.

No she is the HBIC period. No need to bring race into it.

I find it funny how all the Stan Wars threads between Rih & Bey are almost always by other stanbases...

Maybe in America but not on a Worldwide scale, Beyoncé is nobody's household name here in the UK. Rihanna on the other hand..

It's hard to argue otherwise.

Nope. To be that, you have to have success all across the entertainment avenues(i.e Movies)

That's a lie and you know it.

It's not even up for debate anymore. It's a fact

You don't have to lie to try and make a point. Beyoncé is most definitely a household name in the UK.

Not according to Styled to Rock ratings and Battleship.
