In The U.S. alone Rihanna has surpass the amount of #1's Whitney had.

Rihanna overall is The Highest Selling Digital Artist Of Time.

The Diamonds World Tour has outrank any Whitney Houston tour.

We Found Love Is the only single from this generation that can compete with "I Wanna Dance

With Somebody" which did better domestically and globally

Rihanna is now deemed the World's Biggest Pop Star just like Whitney was in her prime..

No need to bring up impact we all know Rihanna lacks the impact Whitney had (For Now)

but so does the other Woman Of Color in Music, the question is....

success wise is Rihanna the closest to Whitney Houston?

You and your Rihanna threads lately

No.

Stop

Rihanna is making quite a name for herself all on her own, she doesn't need these comparisons.

I don't understand why there always needs to be a "new Madonna" or "new Whitney." Can't an artist just be themselves and make an established legacy of their own?

Sis stop with the haikus. No one is here for them.

Not comparatively in terms of numbers, but definitely symbolically in terms of impact, beauty, and relevance. People forget that despite Whitney having a successful commericial career, the black community constantly shaded her for being pop and not being "R&B" enough, just like they do to Rihanna.

The general public has Whitney nostalgia now, but back at the 1989 Soul Train Music Awards they boo'ed her and dragged her for filth for "selling out' to pop music.




Also Rihanna is stunningly beautiful like Queen Whitney.



But despite that the most obvious proof that Whitney's legacy lives on in Rihanna is in this performance. It gives so much Whitney teas, its sickening.

No. We Found Love is a bad song. How can you compare it to I Wanna Dance With Somebody?

No. Britney Spears is right below her in overall success and Mariah Carey is right above her. Rihanna is nowhere near Whitney's level.

Yes, I think she's kinda like The Beatles!

Whitney was never that big.
