During this period, Gaga was riding high, and many claimed that she had replaced Rihanna as pop music's it girl due to the mediocre success of Rated R.

However, since the both have released three albums, and Rih has outsold Gaga in singles and in album sales since. Gaga's last #1 song was in 2011 with the crazy hyped BTW era, while Rih's was just last year. Why?

Two different types of artists that can coexist

Because no one can replace Rihanna. Gaga found her own lane and is doing pretty well in it.

uh okay.

Because they are very different artists that can coexist

because you can't compete where you don't compare.

this is literally the 1st time i've ever heard anyone say this. i used to hear people say she'd replaced legend x though

this

they both are slaying CFDA Legendary Fashion and Music icons of our generation

Yes Gaga might have had pioneered the fancy costume fashion but Rihanna has gradually shifted the trend back into classy, edgy fashion and Gaga is following it. Reverse Warholian Experience tease

They're totally different artists...???

But Gaga makes more money, that >>>>>>>>>>>>

I don't remember people claiming that here. But I do remember that fake collab between the two that was actually Eva Simons being talked about.

First time I've heard of this. They are really different kind of artists so I don't see the resemblance.

Who was that dumb to say Rih and Gaga are exchangable

What song was this?

No one claimed this but you do whatever you have to do to make your fave look better.
