According to your very own definition they are all on the same grounds. In fact, according to it Rihanna is dead last

You don't even believe this lie when Mrs Carter made Mjaority of her coins from her INTERNATIONAL LEGS! lmaoooooo

Anyway, at this very moment, and I hate to say it because I really don't like her but I need to keep it real, TAYLOR IS the complete package.

So the answer is no, Rihanna is far from being the full package.

What's so unbelievable about this? Apart for Jennifer Lopez I don't think any other pop girl has had a bigger impact on fashion as Rihanna has or had a bigger "dress moment" like cone on now? And yes about the hair idk where you live maybe somewhere were uou can't see girls hair or something but like atleast 1 out of 10 girls were sporting the Rihanna hair do in 2007/2008 seriously..and the red hair go check Cheryl and Cher Lloyd ..they dyed it red after Rihanna and after the massive loud era which was huge in the UK they clearly got inspired by her

Um rihanna is definitely not the first girl to do red hair!

I love what taylor said last night during her speech about how she is glad that people still invests in ALBUMS and not just singles! lmaoo

Why are people acting like the artRAVE grossing $79 million with 79 dates is horrendously unimpressive?
The tour came after a flop era which spawned one hit single at a time when everyone had turned their backs on her.
The 'Loud' tour grossed $90 million with 98 dates after Rihanna's biggest and most impressive era yet.

Taylor is becoming bigger full package.

lol

Please stop it, I like you but come on now. Her CFDA dress is already forgotten. When it comes to "fashion" iconic moments, it comes down to Britney and Gaga.

Gaga also won the CFDA, 3 years into her career. And she was inspiring the whole industry. From popstars (like Rih herself) to big fashion names. Rihanna is inspiring local retailers and B-list brands such as Balmain.

A Girl Like Me's 4 million > Music Of The Sun's 1.5 million
Loud's 6.5 million > Rated R's 3.5 million
Unapologetic's 4 million > Talk That Talk's 3.5 million

GGGB > Rated R was her only big drop. And you people need to stop blaming the sales climate (which is not that different from 2 years ago) for your's fave's mediocre sales. Rih will do just fine. R8 will be of her biggest eras yet.

You're right, career >> two era fads. Which is why Rih is still going strong after a decade while some can't even make it to 5 years. Get with the times sis. I literally said 2013 onwards in the OP.

Beyonce yes, but then again she's also more respected than Madonna so that doesn't mean much. And Gaga? Are you kidding me? She is literally a joke these days. The media doesn't talk about her anymore and when they do is to laugh at her. Time to change your BTW calendar from 2011.

Rihanna has outsold Beyonce everywhere but the USA. It'll happen with her next release. After all, she has been outselling her since this decade. DC receipts still don't count sorry.

But did I say that? No! I said that when she did it a lot of girls followed suit right after or during the loud era. Or atleast they did different shades of red because they didn't want to be seen as copy cats. It's not just a coincidence that both my examples f girls who did it are from the UK a country that was Absolutly under Rihanna's spel during the Loud era and this is irrefutable and usebatable tbh. Tell me has Beyonce ever had a 6x platinum album in the UK? Why do we only speak of the US (the biggest maket) when we want to ..when Loud sold nearly as much as Self Titled did in the US but in the UK the 3rd or fourth biggest market. Now that is impact tbh

And I am not going to be pushed to discredit Yonce's work because am not a person who gets blinded by the Stan card. I realize self titled is amazing and sold fabulously but let's just not take away the one thing Rihanna un arguably has which is fashion impact! Sheis honestly the number 1 female pop star in terms of fashion. Can y'all atleast give her that without debating it simply because u don't like her

Britney and Gaga are both forgotten. What is it with you and your old receipts?

In the USA only. Rih is the full package. (Albums, singles, tours, impact)

U just love 2 embarrass yourself








& these are only the few that I bothered to look up

Lol I like you too this has nothing to do with you or me lol it's just were having a debate over differing opinions

I forgot about Gaga but yes gaga is truly a fashion icon but I mystify Rihanna among gagas ranks perhaps not as big but somewhere close. Let's pls not bring the good Sid Britney I honestly have a huge soft spot for her in my heart but she hasn't had a fashion moment since Toxic tbh ..but I really don't want to talk about Britney she is too cute tbh

«You're delusional, you're delusional, boy you're losing your mind.»

What impact did Rihanna have?

ff darling

Keep these inflated receipts to urself.

The CFDA dress, along with WFL and Stay, came into the public's conscience too recently so claiming that they're 'remembered' doesn't stand for much.
No one remembers or could list off the other outfits from memory.

Internationally take away 2 of rihannas albums and they are just about equal! don't even try me! you comparing 7 album sales to 5 album sales! yet bey is still up there with LESS ALBUMS!
and hun with DC albums combined rihanna is an after thought

The artpop era is not a complete flop! And attract doing those numbers is fantastic!!! Don't hate on Gaga pls atleast not here guys. This is about the amazing Rihanna let's stay on topic when we debate

LMAOOOO the inflation is REAL! UA didn't scan no damn 4 million lmaooooooooo
