Who is more global between these 2 massive pop stars? Both have concerts on all continents (sans Antarctica) and have their hits remembered WW.

But who is actually more known and remembered globally?

Rih or GaGa?

I believe it's Gaga coz Rih can't break through Japan or China

ARTPOP sales outside the U.S.: 1.1-1.2m

Unapologetic sales outside the U.S: 2.7m

Rihanna played stadiums in Europe on the Diamonds World Tour. Gaga didn't.

The answer is Rihanna

Again this thread, get some creativity please

Nnnn, I see you comparing rihanna's album / tour from 3 years ago to gaga's 1-2 years ago but not addressing the travesty known as R8.

Unapologetic is the same distance to born this way era then of ARTPOPs

Wanna compare those? Talk about Do what U want out doing BBHMM + AO and Applause vs FourFive Seconds

Unapologetic is SO 2012. Like we've seen with Gaga's career, a lot can happen in a few years. Wait until R8 its sales come in (assuming the album ever gets released hihi).

Anyhow, Gaga.

I believe the stats say GaGa.

Definitely Rihanna overall, although at her peak (her debut era) it was definitely Gaga

Currently? Rihanna

ICON Living Legend Actress/Songwriter Tycoon Queen of Pop Lady Gaga!

.

Kii at the ancient receipts

And Gaga played stadiums in Asia with artrave, did she?

Gaga

I believe its Lady Gaga. She took over the WORLD when she hit the scene in a more impactful way than Rihanna. They're both my faves and mega stars but Gaga came out slaying everything.

Rihanna. Gaga isn't even as global as Katy Perry, Beyonce, and Taylor Swift nowadays

AS IF rihanna is. Her last two singles bombed harder than all of the other's second/third singles (except bey idk)

People also said Rihanna was a flop with Rated R, until Rude Boy slayed GLOBALLY, going #! in the US and pushing the album to platinum.

People said she was over after Rockstar 101 flopped, yet Love the Way You Lie, Only Girl (In the World), What's My Name?, and S&M all went #1 back-to-back.

People said she was over after California King Bed flopped, Cheers went Top 10 after and We Found Love became her biggest hit to date.

The thing about Gaga is, she has never truly recovered since Marry the Night and probably never will. Her time came and went. Like Wendy Williams said, this is Rihanna's world.

Gaga

Rihanna of course. Gaga is only bigger in parts of Asia. South America is close but with the R8 tour booking stadiums there it's fair to say Rihanna is bigger!

Rihanna buries her in Europe, Oceania, Africa and the US.
