You didn't know? Shocking

In the music industry, there have long been comparisons to Madonna thrown around - a pop single here, a fashion look there - but to encompass the scope and success, and global fame of Madonna? That's another league entirely.

Figures came out this week that Rihanna is now the most watched artist on YouTube, with her official channel RihannaVEVO reaching more than 3.47 billion views, nudging aside Justin Bieber who was considered the king of social media.

It's an impressive achievement in its own right. But it also seemed to cement Rihanna as the female artist who has achieved the near impossible - genuinely replicating the global and musical reach of Madonna, but in her own way, with her own sound.

It's to an entirely different generation of course. At a time when the internet rules all else.

But the similarities between the two women are quite striking: their prowess in harnessing the power of music clips, combined with genuine star power and sexual allure (and their enjoyment in showing it).

We won't even go near the troubled relationships, or the bad film roles. (Although Madonna was ultra-cool in Desperately Seeking Susan, it was all downhill from there. Rihanna's cameo role in Battleship was not exactly groundbreaking).

For both women though, it is the music - and truly great songs - which keep fans coming back for more.

You often hear older music fans, some groups of men in particular, rubbish Madonna's most-loved pop songs as though they were nothing more than a bubbly, meaningless slice of the 1980s. But there are millions of people who can sing them word-for-word to this day. Or leap to their feet at a dancefloor when they hear the opening chords. To deny the power of that is deluded.

The same will happen with Rihanna's songs. Sure, her break-out hit Umbrella felt like a one-hit wonder (although it strongly defined her distinctive sound which followed) but her 2011 release We Found Love (recorded with Calvin Harris) is one of the most compelling songs released in the last decade.

Rihanna is undoubtedly the musical icon of her generation. Her sound, her clips, her videos, her look - they are viewed and copied and talked about by millions of fans worldwide, every day.

Madonna would be proud.

Just this year her iconic 1993 Rolling Stones cover was imitated twice that I know of (must be more this year though) Kerry Katona and Lady Gaga.

yeah, she FAKED her injury to get out of her FLOP tour that was bigger than any tour Rih's ever done. Ugh Gaga you're such a faded bitch.

The navy logic truly does reflect that of a long-term meth addict.

Not him dragging his fave like that

Nope, that isn't it, Pollstar made up numbers because according to them her team didn't give them her numbers, don't be surprised when the final number is bigger than the BWTB

In my last communication with a Billboard executive I got a confirmation that the Eu leg has a massive gross. x

A live music video that helped it outperform and outsell C'Mon + Crazy Kids worldwide in less than a month with an Urban AC track.

Not too much on Crazy Kids

[Last Boy on Earth]

You know you're in the bottom of the barrel when you hyped so much your lead single and you can't even get it to #1, you know you're in the bottom of the barrel when you have to make up stories with perez hilton for promotion and everyone pays you dust, all this with the most generic lead single of any big pop girl, probably the fastest decline of all time, can't wait for the album numbers

[santos]

I believe Paws Down. She FAKED the injury. Her US tour wasn't sold out.

When Billboard reports the same thing at the end of the year what will the Rihtards say then? KI.

It has failed to chart on Mediatraffic, unlike Take Back the Night.

Everyone is spending their money on the album:



He has three songs charting in the worldwide top 40 right now so it will take a while for it to take off + he has yet to acknowledge its release.

#11 The Truth About Love
released on September 14, 2012

#23 The 20/20 Experience
released on March 15, 2013

Hmm

Just cause you post the same thing over and over doesn't make it more true. It just makes you an annoying troll.

The fact that you were nowhere to be found while it was flopping

The fact the Die Young lyric video has more views

Hey Duca, how you predict Part II first week sales in US? I think they will be around 300k
