Why is it that Riri gets a number 1 easily but not Queen Bey? Both are talented with great songs. Although, Bey has arguably the better voice and dancing prowess.

Stop comparing the two they both slay

Cause Rihanna is more successful.

I love Bey, but at the age of Rihanna she wasn't as big.

Rihanna has so many classics, Bey has only 2.

Both will be legends tho.

Bey didn't even release her song to iTunes...like why is this thread a thing

Why can Bey get multiplatinum albums and Rih can't?
Why can Bey sell out stadiums and Rih can't?
Why can Bey get critical acclaim and Rih can't?

These are the important questions.

Just wondering

Ughh let's not please

Because bey is from a generation that consumed albums and not streams.
Beyoncé is honestly more entertaining live than Rihanna if I'm 100% honest.
And critical acclaim isn't important at all outside this forum.

I answered all questions without bias

Because Beyoncé is OVER

Beyoncé:
1. Didn't release her song to iTunes
2. Didn't release her song to Vevo
3. Didn't make her song searchable on Youtube
4. Didn't make her song streamable on Spotify
5. Didn't release multiple videos to push streaming
6. Didn't have a radio deal and a massive push behind her most recent song
7. Didn't release her song to radio at all (despite it getting quite a lot of airplay and AI for a non-single)

*cries in Beyoncé*

Rihanna is a more successful musical act as a solo artist than Beyoncé.

That's a fact.

Rihanna is Caribbean and this makes her global.

Talent

I'm talking in general not just recently

Because her music is better and not repetitive.
