The entire concept of 'GH' is so flawled since artist susually put songs that were singles but flopped hard like Beyonce would probably have to do in order to release one.
Rihanna's GH on the other side could be filled with hits only and still it wouldn't fit on just one disc.

Anyway this about hits which rihanna has more of, so back to the topic rihanna, and her hits are more global and bigger and more.

Greatest Hits albums are tacky. Artists who release them are usually cash-thirsty nostalgia acts who need the money. Two women at the top of their careers shouldn't be releasing them. They should only be releasing new material.

I hate how every time I come in a thread to post something reasonable, there you are having already said it 
Anyway, both have enough hits to do so, and both have their pros and cons, but either way "Greatest Hits" aren't really necessary in today's market.

Rihanna's know singles are WFL and Diamonds... Umbrella is forgettable as **** and i hear once in a while Pon De Replay there is nothing iconic about Rihanna's singles
|
well then so drunk in love, run this world and halo are bigger than umbrella? 
And to quote your statement you said bey has more iconic number 1s than rihanna, the only number one out of those you listed is irreplaceable but I do understand the confusion, it's not like you have a lot of number 1s to pick from.

I didn't mean iconic #1 singles, i meant singles in general, even Beyonce's flop singles are more iconic than Rihanna's #1 singles lol. And Beyonce has Destiny's child hits under her arm too. Rihanna can have 20#1 for all i care, Beyonce as a whole is still more iconic. i'm not talking about best selling singles, something you are confused about, i see

Beyoncé's greatest hits album would have those songs people would immediately remember listening to it on the radio or at parties... more quality... that good nostalgia feeling.
Rihanna's would be that one where people would go: "wait, what's that song again? I didn't remember it existed... oh... I see... I remembered...". But hey! it can have like 20 tracks unlike Bey's 
Riri is the queen of quantity and Bey is the queen of quality. Both win

Both, obviously. Nothing about either makes it so they wouldn't be able to.
That being said, I want at least one more big era from both before they make a GH album. I feel like then it'd be appropriate.

Both, honestly. Rih has more technical hits and Bey has that GP presence.

which ones exactly?
and where are the receipts? The impacts of those songs don't leave the confines of your head, they are only iconic songs because you think them to be.

Rihanna, Beyonce only has two or three hits (CIL, Single Ladies... I guess DrIL now too?). Beyonce could include some DC songs as well though..

Girl, byeee. let's not give Rihanna too much. 'SL' alone is more iconic
than any song Rihanna has put out.

Everyone was using "WHO RUN THE WORLD?" line, in the talent shows they are always singing Halo/Listen/If I were a boy and you can check that , these songs are constantly being covered. DrIL was a vine hit with the GP with Beyonce's dancing and the watermelon/surfboardt lyrics. And i'm not even gonna talk about Single Ladies, CIL and Irreplaceable

Literally none of the songs you listed are "flop singles." What point are you trying to make?  Also, you're overcompensating for Run The World. It made a splash, but nothing more than a top 30 song does. The other songs have impact tho
