1. Rihanna's longevity is impressive considering that she was nothing more than a studio puppet in the beginning. Also even tho her album sales haven't been impressive, it's been consistent. Also she got a plenty of hit singles and starts to build a reputation as a live artist.
2. I'm still baffled about the whole "Beyoncé doesn't have hit singles". She got probably the same amount as Tina Turner etc. and nobody would doubt Tina's legacy?
3. They're all superstars and I think they will all ensure a good legacy for future generations.
But I'm ma let the Rih Rih fans feel themselves and let them think she bigger than Mariah & Beyonce. They need SOMETHING to feel good about since R8 isn't out and never will come out
I see why you're always depressed but no one said Rih was bigger than Mariah. Nnnnnnn. Beyonce, that's another story.
Hit songs don't equate to brand weight and viability -- "I Gotta Feeling" is playing at a bar somewhere in the world 24-7/365, does that make will.I.am and Fergie bigger stars than Bey? Whether you want to admit it or not, Rih's brand is nowhere near as powerful as Bey's. You're claiming she's "much more globally known" yet Bey literally tours everywhere Rih can, bests her numbers in all regions -- without even having a current album and hits out as an excuse to do so, purely on name alone.
Bey gets a haircut:
Bey goes on vacation:
Bey gets an endorsement deal:
There definitely is a huge difference between the way Bey is received and treated as opposed to other big stars and her contemporaries. Sure, you may see celebs regularly on TV for things as uneventful as haircuts/style changes and vacation pics; however, you will see them on TMZ and Entertainment Tonight -- not on legitimate news programs on CNN and MSNBC sandwiched between the latest election polling and the day's senate floor discussions. Other stars get lots of endorsements, but you'll see those manifest as magazine ads, tv commercials and a few billboards, not having their faces splashed across the company's product packaging around the globe. Bey is at an elite level of celebrity that an extreme few stars ever reach when you consider the things that surround her name and what she is able to do.
Yeah, she's more known as a celeb than for her music.
Considering it took her seven albums in seven years to get her first #1 album...
Yeah, no. Not even close. The reign has let up.
Her first week sales for GGGB - TTT are massive. Rated R sold 181,000 in its first week, Loud sold 207,000 copies, and TTT sold 163,000 copies. That's more than MANY albums that debuted at number one. You tried it though.

Kiii.... massive sales? Girl are you not aware album sale always get bigger around black friday. Imma need someone to copy pop girls first wek sales by album, you'd be so embarrased
I mean the fact Beyoncé 4 sold 310k and people were crying "flop" when Rih never saw anything near this number in her career

Someone's bum is hurting over the truth (although Mariah is bigger than Rihanna or Beyonce, at least, she was - but still, re-read the original)
dis gon be shweeet

That said, notice she pronounces her name as “Ree-an-na” and not “Ree-ahh-nuh.” Other members of the press have commented on this. Y’all still don’t listen, though. As big a star as she is, will the world ever get it right?
Beyonce has sold more albums than Rih (despite having less of them) and is the bigger touring act. She's richer than Rihanna and has a lot more industry respect and power. So exactly how has Rih surpassed her? Just because she's sold more singles?
Mariah is in a league by herself. Beyonce and Rihanna are around the same level, way below Mariah
