I'm a Rihanna stan and are you really saying they are above Adele and Taylor?

I understand if you think Beyoncé is above Katy Perry (billboard disagrees) and P!nk.

Uh yea...

Rihanna Beyonce are easily the two biggest pop girls of the 21st century

There is literally one, maybe two out of these who are bigger than Beyonce and Rihanna.

Everyone on that list outsold both BEYONCÉ and UA with their last albums. Half of them had bigger singles too

Katy and P!nk's last tours outgrossed Rih's and so will Taylor's next tour. Bey on the other hand really is above them in that department.

Beyonce hasn't done real promo in ages

you mean since 2011 when she was everywhere. What promo do u expect her to do while she is giving birth sis ? I am obviously talking about 4. Then Superbowl etc. is also promo.

I agree that Beyonce was not promoted a lot, but it's an exception in Beyonce's career, not the other way around

Like !!!. Bitch stops caring after the lead and if she's getting some good dick aka in a good mood, she'll sing the third single once or twice. Like

"bitch stops carrying" as if it depends from Rihanna

Don't give ha too much credit.

If she has 5 number 1 worthy songs, they won't stop promoting you know that right ? They always promote until the 3rd single and then release other singles on radio, without spending money on them because they are not smash worthy, as simple as that. It's Rihanna's team..

Pray tell, did GaGa's last two studio efforts outsell Unapologetic or BEYONCE in any way shape or form? Mind you, for C2C, she had another whole stanbase to support her. A stanbase from an older generation that is used to purchasing album.
No? Didn't think so.

You are just trying too hard now. ARTPOP underperformed. Rihanna also has an underperforming album (at least ARTPOP was top 10 best seller in its year, Rihanna's was not even top 20 if I am correct). That says NOTHING. And don't even try it with Cheek2Cheek

You know damn well that it's not a Lady Gaga solo release to even compare it with BEYONCE and Una

It's a Fact that Rihanna's last 2 albums have barely scrapped 3 and 3.5M respectively, And this is Rihanna the FORCE. In the meantime Gaga has only 1 album selling less than 5M WW (2M) and she is a fad now ?

Gaga was nothing more than a fad, people bought BTW only because of hype and ARTPOP proved who much her relevancy dropped. She's over. Rihanna and Beyonce both managed to stay relevant even after they 'flopped'. Gaga not so much. Everything in her career declined, from sales to acclaim to tour gross and it will continue . If you actually think there's a possibility Gaga will be on the same level let alone above her peers then just...

I am NOT losing my time with your delusion.

ARTPOP is a flop

Besides her fall was quicker than her rise. That's something scary

Lady Gaga got her first number 1 in January 2009 and by the end of 2009 she was bigger than all your faves combined. So you are clearly lying.

In May 2011 she released the best selling album, released since May 2011 (if you know what I mean).

In 2012/2013 she had the most successful tour by a current pop act with an average attendance only smaller than Madonna and Celine's tours (19k) and average gross of 1.9M bigger than any average gross of any of Gaga's peers' solo tours. How is her decline quicker than her rise ? Her decline was natural until ARTPOP.

ARTPOP was a dissaster yes, but nothing like y'all like to believe, and u all will be proven wrong

Where Have You Been wasn't smash worthy?
Didn't Cheers go Top 10 with zero promo?
Loveeeee Song go platinum with zero promo and no MV?
What Now hit #25 with zero promo and a late ass MV?

You're one of the easiest Monsters to clock. Not even worth it anymore.

Oh please. Find a seat with that Rihanna team b.s. Rihanna has just as much say in her work as everyone else because if she didn't:

Rihanna team would not let her sing an old song when she had a current song out to promote. (Diamonds at the AMAs)
Rihanna team would not let her release a video 6 month after its release. (PIU)

No team/ label would purposely skip opportunities to make money.

There are tons of popstars above both of them.

This is so true.

But Pink, Taylor swift, Adele and others keep outselling them
