did they lie?

Petty.

Where is the lie ?? Queen

queen

That Rihanna reign tho

another magazine cover, no album out

I don't think it's shade. I think they're just trying to emphasise the monstrous level of her success by saying she's even managed to pass the Madonna in terms of #1 hits.

That's not a shade though

LOL absolute bull****... No one will ever be as big as madonna at her peak. NO one... I like Rihanna, but she is far and I mean far from Madonna in terms of success and power. Don't be silly NME.

They didn't say exactly that she was more successful or have more power than Madonna. They just simply stated she had more #1 singles than her, which is a fact.

Why am I not surprised this thread came from YOU?

Embarassing. People need to leave Madonna alone.

She saw and did more in the first ten years of her career than most do their entire lives.
