Rih hasn't even been around for a decade (not to mention she only blew up in 2007). For all we know, her next album could flop (it took awhile for Xtina and Britney to fall off as well). The bandwagoning is getting a bit old.
Because both have great material and seem to still love their careers.
Xtina seems to have trouble finding the right material and Britney appears to be just continuing due to contract reasons. She doesn't come off as loving it anymore.
Rih shouldn't even be included in this considering she hasn't even been in the industry for a decade yet imo. Beyonce has outlasted all of the 90's girls because she is better, more successful and more talented imo.
Rihanna and Beyoncé both have demonstrated the desire, and focus to stay in this business and improve their brand, music, and career.
Rihanna's first few albums didn't do as well as her label hoped but she kept recording, got more vocal lessons, had a makeover because she was serious about her career. She's continuously tried to expand her brand outside of music since 2010 because Rihanna knows theirs a warranty on how long most pop girls still get hits and radio airplay. She's a hardworking girl, she's not as complacent or lazy as people believe.
Beyoncé started out in a group and she rehearsed repeatedly, she worked herself to death in Destiny's Child and took her solo career into her own hands. She's also worked on her craft and created an empire.
Few other pop stars have done what these two have. Xtina got complacent, Britney didn't have the desire even tho she use to have the demand.
Clearly that isn't the case since Xtina as a lead on Say Something made a song bigger than both Drunk In Love, and The Monster + Can't Remember To Forget You nearly 20 years into her career.
I don't see Rihanna flopping just yet, she's still relatively young, and her break hasn't really seemed to diminish her star power either. She has one more year before she'll be a decade in BUT Xtina and Britney began declining almost right after their debut era's
Rihanna hasn't been around as long as the others so she shouldn't be compared. Beyonce has outlasted the other two simply because she has more drive than them nowadays. Neither Britney or Xtina seem to care much about their careers anymore.
