You're making a huge assumption there with the whole thing about the public not knowing that 4 was an album. In that case, the anticipation for a Beyonce tour would be even more anyway.

Sometimes I wonder do they think b4 typing

I Am... Tour

Music-wise that's true but the baby kept her in the public eye and on magazine covers.

You're right! How could I forget the biggest trending topic of the 2011 VMAs? Beyonce, always one step ahead.

But she headlined the worlds biggest music festival and showcased new material.. then her album sold 34k within half an hour of being released in the UK..

Oh and songs from this supposed unknown album are still charting & getting radio play

If she has such a selling power, then how come none of her singles are in the top 100 or even the top 200 of the All Time Global Singles Track Chart? Hell, even Rihanna has at least 5 or 6 in the top 200. Based on these figures alone, the public seems to be here more for Rihanna's music than Beyonce's. With equal amount of dates, Rihanna will easily outsell Beyonce.

Not sure.. It'll be close.

I'll go with Beyonce

Just like her LOUD tour did, right?

Because streaming for free and buying a $1.99 single is the EXACT same thing as buying a $100 concert ticket.

Rihanna's star power is big enough now that she can easily have a 100+ million grossing tour

I believe Euronixs was referring to album, not singles sales. But you're right about the singles.

And when there is not an equal amount of dates, that's when you do the average. Which is what was already posted.

Having more dates also shows that even after the same amount of dates there is still MORE demand for concert seats, which proves a lot too about the touring viability.

Yes well charts do not reflect touring..

Several artists like Tina Turner, Bruce Springsteen, Rod Stewart & countless others go on tour and rake in several times more then Rihanna.. Look at Madonna.. MDNA did terribly by her standards yet she's on track to earn $400 million..

Duca you well know that IAT didn't make 103.2 it made more than that unless that the Hive lied to me.

The star power that helped the VMAs drop 50% in ratings from last year? Oh.

Not when one has basically dropped of the face of the earth after the release of Single Ladies. I'm sure the general public didn't even know 4 was an album, whereas Rihanna was consistently in the public's eye with a hit song every couple months. The public would be more revved up to go to a Rihanna concert over a Beyonce concert.

Ok, so the general public isn't aware of Beyoncé's last album/era and it sold around 3M WW.

Everyone knows about Rihanna's last album cuz she got mega hits, etc & yet she's sold around 3M WW.

You do realize that makes Beyoncé look better, yes?
It's like you're basically saying Beyoncé can match Rihanna without even being relevant. Imagine if her next era is big & people are actually aware...
