No and never will wtf. Yes Rih has sold more overall but Rih released the 2x more album than Gaga, yet their respective numbers are 31M and 30M.

Same for singles, she may have sold 150m singles but she has like 50 singles and 20 features, Gaga sold 95M singles with 15 releases.

And Gaga grossed WAY more with less tours.

Gaga is the 3rd most successful female of this generation just behind Adele and Taylor Swift.

Gaga has surpassed Rihanna in album sales, touring income, net worth, and actually had an impact on the industry at one point all with just 4 albums. lol. She has been bigger than Rihanna for a very, very long time.

Theres nothing impressive about Rihannas number once you start pulling out averages.

this tea

Always been bigger.

She has always been more successful, lady Gaga's success last decade was cute but it was almost smoke and mirrors, that happens all the time, artists like Rihanna who are in their A game 11 years into their career are rare

She was always overall more successful & had the more consistent career.

The thread is asking about overall careers. I answered in regard to overall careers. What I said fits exactly what I was trying to say "When was Gaga ever the most successful [overall] among her peers". The answer is never. Not my fault you assumed I was talking about a specific year. No switcheroo here.

ever since Talk That Talk (2011)

Rihanna has always been bigger

The delusion...

yea gaga burned brighter for like 2 years but it's not 2011 anymore

Rihanna has always had the bigger career
