You clearly didn't understand. Singles artist, as in selling a hella lot of singles. Not how many Top # one has. Katy has sold 14.1 million singles from
Teenage Dream alone, another 10 million from her debut album. Beyonce's big but she's not seeing those kind of sales. At least not as consistently.
If we were talking about a # of Top X hits, Katy's on the same path Beyonce was when she first began, with seven Top 10 hits, 5 of them #1, one #3, one #9. So no reason to knock her.
Rihanna's lost her selling luster, so I don't really think she's a threat to Bey's sales.
