Which one of these 3 pop stars is the most known one in a WW scale these last couple of years?

This thread exclusively talks about fame, not charts or sales stats.

I would say Rihanna but I'm not sure of their stats

I'm gonna go with Rihanna these last 2 years and Gaga maybe was in 2011, But Rihanna was more famous than Gaga IMO in 2012-2014 in a global scale.

Gaga for sure

Guiness records named Lady Gaga the most famous celebrity in the world in 2013 and neither Beyonce nor Rihanna were in top 5 (or even top 10 for that matter) so I'll have to go with Lady Gaga.

Furthermore she has sold the most records in the past half a decade, earned the most by touring in the past half a decade and have the biggest earnings (maybe tied with Beyonce) for the past half a decade.

Lady Gaga for her character, Rihanna for her music

EDIT: I voted for Lady Gaga because she had more buzz and is more recognizable worldwide

Beyoncé...

then Gaga and Rihanna about the same.

Emeli Sandé is the #1 Black female artist WW.

i think its Gaga cause even grown ups know her even just for her crazy outfits....but who knows.....EVERYBODY knows these 3

Gaga for her crazy costumes.

Rihanna for her Chris Brown incident.

Beyonce for her music.

I really like all 3 of them but lesbihonest even Meat Dress is more famous than most of the other 2 beautiful girls have done in their life.

PS. In some countries Rih waay popular than the others. Like mine.

Gaga>Rih>Bey

I'm not sure, I remember Gaga was named in 2012 the most famous person but it was because all the uproar she created in 2011 with BTW, in 2012 she was on tour and on a media blackout, and when she came back she was nowhere near Rihanna's relevance in the whole world.

Altho I think still in 2013-2014 Gaga was more famous than Beyonce easily in other countries, but not more than Rihanna IMO.

Bey.

I agree that the meat dress made her more famous for a while than the other 2, but that was in 2010, in 2013-2014 things changed, not that the meat dress is forgotten, because it's not, but not enough to maintain that fame she once had.

There is a difference between being famous and being relevant/popular/current and so on.

Being famous is about people knowing your name and recognizing you, not about "talking baut you"

Hence why Madonna is more famous than Rihanna, but nowhere near as relevant.

Gaga is easily more famous than either Bey / Rih.

And even though Rihanna has reached success where Bey haven't, I believe Bey comes in 2nd place.

Just compare their tours I mean Lady Gaga has 2 185M+ grossing tours, Beyonce has 1 and Rihanna has 0. Now compare how much money Rihanna earned last year with touring vs. Gaga without tour and a flop album,,,, almost the same

Lady Gaga is easily a bigger name than Rihanna overall. What did Rihanna do in 2012/2013 to surpass Gaga ? Diamonds ? Not really.

Rihanna>Gaga>Beyonce

Gaga>>>Beyonce>>> Rihanna.

Rihanna
Beyoncé
Gaga
