Didn't GaGa get raped and pissed on in the DWUW video by her collaborator/child molester until the label got wind and made her scrap it? That hype alone is more than any promo Rih did for her three songs.
Applause had HUGE promo.
DWUW had COUNTLESS performances PLUS a Christina remix aka hit feature artists. Hasn't all of the songs Christina was featured on hit Top 10 except DWUW?
GUY also had plenty of public performances and wasn't exclusive to TIDAL.

Anything else?

Raped and pissed on? Bye

Her last two LPs flopped critically and commercially. Rihanna has quality in her music and visuals and has been experimenting with a less commercial sound.

Both LPs were #1, and one of them was a jazz album.

Metacritic
ARTPOP - 61
Cheek To Cheek - 64
Unapologetic (Rihanna's last album) - 61

Next.

[Bribe]

Cause Gaga spent $25 million on promo obviously

[RatedG²]

But I love these excuses. Keep em coming

[Marq]

ARTPOP was quite heavily promoted in the early months of the era.

So you're saying that 3 A list stars combined couldn't outsell nor outpeak the "flop and hasbeen" Joanne ?[

Interesting.

3 against one and they still couldn't outpeak nor outsell the Joanne in the US.

One? Same could be said for DWUW which has 2 remixes with different artists (Xtina & Rick Ross) and still managed to peak out of the top 10 and only 4 places higher than BBHMM.

[Nathan's Nicely]

the question is: why do you really care about which singles peaked higher or not? is this really that big of a deal for several members to make this thread several times before even you did?

What will they do when they have no other "under-peformances" to compare their downfall to? How will they thrive without dragging down others?

Where did i say that?

I was pointing out the delusion of your fellow friend calling Rihanna a B-Lister.

Try again next time.

BBHMM video was premiered months after the single, yes, but DWUW didn't have a video.

Yeah, but in fairness DWUW was an instant-grat single at first, had a performance at a more high-profile awards show and also had a lot of promo on twitter

FourFiveSeconds features two artists at the same time, yet it didn't outpeak Applause, which doesn't feature anybody

Well Gaga promoted the hell out of the singles while Rihanna has only promoted 45S like 2 times, same for BBHMM and the video for the latter was premiered months after the single peaked while being an urban single.

Applause was performed at the VMAs, GMA & The Muppet Show. FourFiveSeconds was performed at the Grammys, and more people watched the Grammys than the VMAs + GMA + Muppet together so the argument is kinda dumb.

DWUW was performed on SNL, @ the AMAs & The Voice. BBHMM was performed at iHeartRadio whatever the name, SNL & the video was teased during the BET, which was watched by 15M people.

Like, stop using the promo argument. They all got as much promo, whether you want to admit it or not.
