Fame. completely has a point. Rihanna was a non-factor, even if she had 10 or so hits before Chris Brown's incident.

Ke$ha had about 10 back-to-back hits in the same time manner as Rihanna, and look where she's at now? Hits /=/ established.

This is all I'm saying. I didn't say she didn't have hits. But she wasn't really cared about, as an artist, until after the CB incident. Tis all

Rihanna's album sales were pitiful and prove how much the public didn't care about her outside digital singles. MOTS didn't even make T100 selling albums of 2005, A Girl Like Me was the 44th best-selling album of 2006 with 3 T10's, and GGGB as said hasn't even hit 3M despite having almost 10 singles.

We also know she had no acclaim, couldn't tour, and was almost bankrupt + Rated R literally bombed just a year after that huge era. She was a 100% non-factor outside digital singles. She didn't become a relevant force until Loud.

Umbrella alone is bigger than what that domestic violence perpetrator ever did or will do in his career

Best selling...now....over time. Those are sales that have been accumulated over YEARS, including years after the incident. They were not the best selling anything in 2008

Which is why Rihanna had never been named "Artist of the Year" or anything else.

Ok so Chris Brown has been named artist of the year twice?
What has he even done as an artist thats noteworthy?? He's on par with Jason Derulo??
Most people can't even name a Chris Brown album off the top of their head

new york is just the best

Fame's argument. She sells more albums, singles, tour tickets etc but he is a woman beater!!!!

GGGB was not pitiful. It was as big as Pepcé her biggest era (IASF).

By the time Disturbia was out everyone knew who Rihanna was, the lies + fictions

I don't get this argument. 'Oh no one cared about her'. How can you measure that? How old were you when she debuted? Was it that no one cared or that you didn't care? It's not unusual for pop artists to have weak album sales in the early stages of their career, and then SMASH when they've been properly established, step up their visuals, develop talent etc.

It is both of their biggest moment. The difference is, Chris' biggest moment is because of something HE did, because of HIS own actions. Not because of someone else

You know what, there's no point going back and forth with someone who thinks like this night guys

Your argument is nonsensical. People cared about Rih before Fist, and they cared about her after. A shame that that has defined Fists' career.

Rih has so much power that the UK literally banned her attacker from entering the country

Who asked you go back and forth? I was stating facts. I didn't call for a meeting or ask for how you felt about them.

Rihanna getting beat by Christ is what really pushed her. What made people interested in her, etc. Point blank period. As evidenced by the fact that she can't even book Magazine covers in 2015 without him being the focal point

Legend was such a good movie. Tom Hardy really is the actor of our generation (alongside Nicolas Hoult)

According to this actual receipt, not a person who thinks beating a woman is a good thing, more people cared about Rihanna than Chris Brown even before 2009.

Just post this link for now on

Rihanna is too beautiful and cultured for America.
