Released around the same time, how would it play out... Back in 2008/09 all three girls were on the scene promoting projects respectively. Rih released one of her best albums(Rated R), but she was still a bit under the radar. Yet Bey and Gaga were dominating with pop cultural phenomenons (SL, BR)... Now that Gags kind of tanked with ArtPop, and Rih's brand is bigger than ever (but R8's roll out is lacking) and Bey has consistent momentum... Which main pop girl will reign supreme!
I'm referring to an entire era: promo,longevity,singles, awards, etc.
Rihanna's biggest opening week is less than Gaga's lowest opening week. Plus, Beyoncé can't sell singles anymore so her album sales should naturally be bigger.
Gaga>Bey>Rih
I feel like Bey won't be able to do as much as she used to anymore and it seems Gaga's comeback is gonna BIG. The issue with Rihanna is that ANTI was pushed back too much and she never really was much of an album seller.
It's proven that Beyonce can pull good album sales but can't get smash singles. It's proven Gaga can't sell albums like she used to and can't get streaming hits. It's proven that Rihanna can't even get an album released.

Basically. Although I don't think a #2 lead in her previous era quite equates to 'can't sell singles anymore' but there we have it.
It's really too difficult to tell. History has shown that anything can happen - Bey could flop into oblivion this time without the right rollout and Rihanna may never get another #1 ever again. The only thing that seems certain is that Gaga won't ever repeak but I do think that she'll be able to sell albums with her revamped image.

But Rihanna, her album sold more than Beyonce's and Gaga's??? And she sold more singles on top of it all. Why is that?
I think it'll go Gaga > Bey > Rih.
I don't know. I have this feeling that Gaga's comeback will be huge.
And for Bey, I don't know what she's up to this time.
And as for Rihanna... well I don't even want to talk about that.
