You're embarrassing How can you even type this without wanting your fave get dragged. Beyonce's legacy and ART >>>>> Whatever Rihanna has, and I prefer Rihanna to Beyonce.

bitch hdjkskss theyre like five years apart

the fact that you don't know this is why threads like this are made and stay open

No one cares about tours, but the OP has "stadium tours" listed as an accomplishment and proof that she's the most successful.

They want to claim she's a great touring artist, yet they don't. Hilarious.

Did you just say that nobody pays attention to albums outside of the stan world?

As if Beyonce has 60M stans who bought all of her albums + DC's Rih has 14 #1s because radio always supports her so heavily. Granted Bey got most of her #1s with payola, but chart placement has more to do with methodology than it does consumption. And when you take an objective look at consumption, Rih will hit 60M+ album equivalents after this era is over and Bey is already around 86M.

Anyway,

Rihanna has sold more records than Beyonce or any black artist this century, so yes, she's bigger.

Ciao!

IILTYW (If It's Lovin That You Want) wad released in 2005 during the MOTS era. You probably confused it with LTWYL (Love The Way You Lie)

No, that title will always belong to Whitney Houston.

Then Beyoncé is the most successful.

Lemme edit my previous post because I've clearly misunderstood your topic.
