They're both radio artists, but Rihanna gets Rhythmic/Urban stations because's black and Katy gets Hot AC/AC stations because she's white. It just depends on who stays around longer and if they both continuously promote, who can crossover to the other formats.
Since Katy isn't young that will probably advantage Rihanna.
Katy is probably going to want a family soon which will cause a lengthy break and she not getting any younger and tje GP for some reason don't like popstars once they past a certain age.
