Both are fashion icons, both are music icons (gaga shof, rihanna ama), both are immortals (according to Rolling Stone) etc

Rihanna has sold more albums and singles but Gaga is a bigger touring force, celebrity and brand (perfumes, endorsements, fashion deals etc)

So are they equally successful?

Rihanna is a bigger singles artist worldwide, so she's more successful.

Nope. Gaga >>>>>>>>>>

Rihanna has shown more consistency thoroughly her career and she seems on getting bigger and bigger

Nope. Gaga is superior.

gaga sold almost the same amount of albums
won more grammys as a solo artist than Rihanna
tour wise gaga
sales wise gaga
awards wise gaga
impact wise gaga
singles wise rihanna >




so no gaga is superior

Gaga's peak is certainly bigger than Rihanna has ever been or is today, and Gaga's album sales are more impressive considering she has fewer releases and in a shorter space of time. Rihanna's single success remains mammoth though, and although she hasn't matched Gaga's touring receipts she's a worthy contemporary.

not with the R8 mess

Ummm both are MASSIVE flops now but rihanna's on Azealia banks level of flop so she's pretty much on a worse place

Mess at ya'll saying she's consistant, while DWUW + Applause have outsold BBHMM and FFS.

They are equal i'd say

Gaga > albums / tours
Rihanna > singles

what did i just read

They're close

No, Gaga is superior.

Rihanna is bigger overall.

Yes. I found Gaga's career more impressive since she has achieved that with less albums tho.

R8 says hi.

Gaga tbh

come on now

Rihanna will forever be bigger than Gaga lmao

Rihanna has had the bigger career. More memorable hits, more overall successful years and her prime (so far) lasted 7 years which is 4 years more than Gaga's.

Gaga has had more impact than Rihanna on pop culture though.
