Which of of these two has the bigger career in terms of chart success, public image, cultural impact, tours and so on?

Discuss, vote and post receipts please.

Obviously Britney Spears

britney clearly

Polls are up

Lol. Brit

.

Britney beats Rihanna in album sales, iconic performances, impact, media attention, videos, and money. All Rihanna has on her is single sales.

So Britney

Britney now, But if Rihanna manages to stay relevant passed her 30s, she'll be the biggest pop force alive, third only to Madonna and Beyoncé of course.

Rihanna is about to snatch her wig though!

In what exactly?

Britney.

Very obviously Britney. The only living pop stars ahead of her success are Madonna, Celine, and Mariah.

Britney, the only thing that Rihanna has on her is #1 hits in US and single sales.

Screaming.

Gentle Reminder: Pleas do post your receipts. Thanks.

Impact? Videos? Money?

Britney has album sales.
Britney has iconic performances.

Rihanna has singles sales.
Rihanna has touring force.
Rihanna has media attention.
Rihanna has better videos.

Britney has been longer in the game... but I dont think her status in 2008 (9 years into her career. The same as Rihanna is right now) is as big as Rihanna is now.

Rihanna has the GP appeal. Britney has her nitche just stuck in the gay scene.

Her recent album sales show she is a non factor in the music industry atm

I agree.
