Discussion: Has Taylor supassed Rihanna? - Page 5

Jackson

If album sales make stars, I must be really out of touch with who the stars are

She's been bigger than Rihanna since 2008.

Mess at certain people pulling out the only records Taylor has when some of them are more chart anomalies than actual impactful things

HumanitySector

In conclusion, when Taylor sells more than 190m records, and Rihanna doesn't sell nothing from now on, then we can say Taylor surpassed her. Otherwise, nope she hasn't, no matter how much the pressed stans who are not even Taylor's would want to

Vertigo Stick

Taylor is bigger than all of her peers it seems

Yes. She sells singles just as well, sells albums better, tours better and is about to surpass her in vevo stats. She's already bigger in instagram and twitter. And she's huge in Facebook too. I mean, it doesn't take much thought to figure out she's bigger or at least same level.

The gp doesn't care about that.

I never said that. Taylor and Rihanna are both extremely successful in their own lanes and that's it.

Actually, Taylor has 6 #1's to go to beat Katy. No one gives a single **** about albums in the GP.

If you actually think some forgettable #1 songs are the key to the GP remembering an artist than I don't know what to say. Paula Abdul had plenty of hits back in the day...can you name 3 atleast?

Her hits aren't even selling the album, her biggest album is not even on par with Taylor's biggest.

Nicole

Yes, but she has surpassed everyone

She already did the later with WMN and OG lmao you're trying too hard

WMN went #1 on November 20, Like a G6 went #1 the week after and then OG went #1 on December 4. So no, Rihanna has never had 2 back to back self replacing singles ever. Atleast know your own faves stats.

What a fail

When it comes on to sales she pass all the current pop girls except Adele.
So i don't know why you would make this thread when you already know the answer.

But with everything else, she hasn't passed Rihanna.

Rihanna is a bigger name (seen as a brand)

Rihanna did so much more for pop-culture and impact. Her featurings, videos, styles and so on will always weight more than everything Taylor did or will ever do.

Umbrella alone >>>>>>

Some of y'all are so delusional I swear

Forgettable #1's? I guess Taylor has more forgettable #1's since none of hers have sold 5 million copies when 6 of Katy's have. WANEGBT and SIO are the definition of forgettable. Firework and Roar are well on their way to becoming classics.

To be fair, it wasn't the previous poster's fault you weren't clear that you meant self replacing back to back #1's as opposed to back to back #1's

AC radio loves Paula's music, they play her hits all the time, idk what that example had to do with Rihanna's stats or Taylor's stats when they are in different career lanes then Paula

Umm you meant self replacement at #1 but you said back to back #1s, which WMN and OG were for Rihanna. Either way not you acting like that random chart achievement is the deciding factor in whether or not Taylor is bigger

Slayonce

Yes. Rihanna is still the bigger celebrity though.

I didn't even bother to comment back to him, it's pointless. Really flattered that he knew those chart statistics about my fave which I don't even know about tho

My point still stands 2 posts before
