Adele. It's clear. The receipts are there.

Rihanna. All Adele has are the humongous album sales that outsold everyone who debuted their solo career post 2003.

Taylor Swift

So far Adele.

You say this like it is a minor achievement

Don't lie.

Adele!

She also outsold all 7 of Rih's albums with one album, so....

I love Rih, but obviously Adele.

Rihanna through singles, social media, tabloids and stuff like that. Adele on album figures. I'd say Rihanna had a way bigger impact.

Rihanna has sold more records though.

It is impressive but if we're going to say Adele is bigger than Rihanna because of one album, then we might as well say she's the biggest artist since 2003? No?
