Yeah, Judas was a WW hit and went Top 10 in 20+ markets.
I think overall, Gaga and Katy have more memorable hits simply because of the way Rihanna is constantly moving from single to single and album to album. I think for the general public, the constant barrage from Rihanna makes it hard to distinguish what is what. However, that doesn't mean she doesn't have memorable hits. Songs like 'Umbrella' and 'Only Girl' are some of the best hits in recent times.
Poker Face and Bad Romance are more remembered than all of those songs. Rihanna might have more memorable hits since she has 7 albums and the other girls 3 tho.

I would say Gaga. I know more songs listed for her than Katy and Rihanna. Only song I know of Rihanna from the list provided is Umbrella (eh-eh-eh), Gaga's songs are more memorable imo.
