Well it's a good indicator on how many people are willing to spend their time watching videos from both bey and rih. So Rihanna having like double bey's views shows more people are willing to watch and rewatch her videos than bey's.

Anyway beyonce has single ladies which is more memorable than any rihanna videos but rihanna has more memorable videos in general. So rihanna has the more "iconic" videography. The fact that bey doesn't even have one memorable video this decade proves that.

Rihanna has had 4 eras in the VEVO era. Beyoncé has only had 1 proper VEVO era (4) Rihanna has had the advantage of releasing so many videos in the height of VEVO.

Rihanna video views are impressive and great an all, but it's silly to deem her videos iconic off that alone. Expecially when you have throwaway artists like Katy and Bruno who garner just as much views as her. With that being said, she doesn't really have any iconic videos. WFL may come close, but obviously nowhere near the magnitude of say Single Ladies. That's telling.

Yes I agree that single ladies is more iconic than any rihanna video and that vevo views isn't the only nor most important factor in deeming someone's videography as iconic.

What's more even though rihanna has more eras in the vevo era, bey still has released a lot of videos. I mean the 4 era had 1+1, i was here, countdown, love on top, party, dance 4 you and rtw videos. Rihanna only has diamonds, we found love, WHYB, you da one, stay and pour it up as videos from both the unapologetic and TTT eras.

It would be helpful if you guys gave another iconic video from bey apart from single ladies. I mean rihanna has wfl, rude boy, umbrella, diamonds, disturbia and maybe hard and as for bey single ladies, CIL, baby boy perhaps and irreplaceable?
