Beyoncé
It's not really comparable since one began in 1997 and the other in 2005, Britney or Alicia Keys would have been better comparision to Beyoncé but anyway.... ->
When IASF was out most of you thought it was her last highlight, you never learn.
Rihanna has still to be 18 years in the industry and making it to the top 3 and selling 3M WW. I just don't see Rihanna pulling a "BEYONCE" in 2023.
BEYONCE is the only act to start before 2000 and still selling 3M albums WW? with feminism and mostly ubran sound. it shows the Beyhive is a solid fan base and she's still getting more fans. she deserves all the praise she's getting.
And she's the only act being then in a super succesful group and still being super successful as a solo artist 5 albums later (with Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, Paul McCartney, & Tina Turner since she formed a duo with her husband Ike before going solo)
