You don't get it
Rihanna didn't release a song with lyrics suggesting that the song condones physical abuse the way Gaga did with lyrics that condone sexual abuse.
It's so clear
I think I've read somewhere that Rihanna sold more albums than Madonna in the UK (since 1990)
Rih's power here is completely unmatched. If R8 ever comes out or we at least get another single I really hope she smashes here. I miss the days of Rih's dominance over the UK. Loud era was something else.
