Norah Jones's first two albums were HUGE and her third album did very well, too. So she didn't just have "one" huge era. Regardless, all of those albums by those artists are bigger than any of Rihanna's, who will remain a Hot 100 artist.

Umm dont play yourself, Bleeding Love is a bigger hit than Rolling In The Deep ever will be. And her debut sold 7-8 million which was a nice amount considering she found fame on a talent show.

Keep fooling yourself, and even if that were true, "Bleeding Love" was Ms. Leona's only major hit to date and did nothing for her in the long-run.

Bleeding Love and RITD were both absolutely huge, about equal on the smash scale, but let's not forget about the fact that Leona Lewis barely managed to keep interest going long enough for her second single to do decently, while SLY and SFTTR are worldwide hits and Adele manages to pull BOMT album sales in a Teenage Dream-era of music.

POW.

As for this topic, it's funny that people think because Rihanna is on her sixth album that she is showing longevity. She is on her sixth album in only six years. That is not longevity. Let's what she does in the long-run.
I'm not convinced that GaGa, Rihanna or Katy will have much longevity, but I find it funny that people are quick to point out Katy. She may be the one to surprise everybody.
