I wouldn't call it bias, more so an analysis of my experience. That is my opinion based on the things that I see and hear around me. I can't find receipts for any of that because its simply just based on experience. Although she did receive the Billboard Millennium Award this past summer (evidence of her earned respect within the business), as well as accolades and recognition in Forbes year after year (evidence of her development of her name as a worldwide brand that extends beyond just music). She also sang for the President, undeniably influenced pop culture with the Single Ladies video; you don't need me to find evidence for that when it is clearly well known by everybody. That's all I have to say!

all of that = US

Class 1:

The US is not the whole World

Forbes is biased when it comes to Americans.

Rihanna is the bigger star worldwide.

Beyonce is more of a US phenomenon. I agree she is known worldwide but her music outside the US is still pretty much underground.

[iamanearthling]

riri...why is this even a question now?...

[Graduation]

at Rihanna winning this poll.

I think it's obvious Beyonce is on the same level as MJ, Madonna, Britney in terms of the fact that everyone knows who she is. Rihanna hasn't done anything/been around long enough to be as memorable yet. Give her time and she will be on that level, but what Bey's accomplished puts her on a whole nother level.

[KevinKDC]

Beyonce by far.

Well Beyonce has cover magazine in the
UK (Many)
Germany (GQ, Cosmo),
Sweden(Cosmo),
France(L'Officiel L.Uomo) ,
Russia(FHM,Glamour, JOY...),
Romania(Bolera Magzaine),
Japan (Harper Bazaar),
Australia (Cleo),
Poland ( To&Owo),
Brazil (Billboard),
Ukraine (Pink Mag)
....Too numerous to mention

Magazine covers doesnt mean ****.

Beyonce is just as well know overseas as in the US.

People in countries like Morocco, Egypt, South Africa and others know Beyoncé much better than Rihanna. Rihanna is pretty much irrelevant outside of the music scene. Also, my aunts all know Beyoncé and only one knows Rihanna.

Exactly. The only Edge Rihanna have over Beyonce is the type of music she makes.

[Benzene]

Rihanna's music is more popular but I'd wager that Beyonce is more well-known.

[Curtis]

Rihanna by far is the most popular international act and people actually give a **** what she's up to.

Have You Ever Lived In One Of Those Countries To Say That

In Morocco Rihanna Is WellKnown Than Beyonce

[emmanuel_punk]

NONE are that bigger WW but I think Rihanna is more thanks to the GGGB era, Beyonce is close too

[B94]

Rihanna of course.

[mylicious]

Lmao, it is OBVIOUSLY RIHANNA!
Everbody else is lying to themselves...

I love Beyoncé, but Rihanna has much more Album and Single Sales Worldwide, and is better known, esp. in Europe... I know Beyoncé sold millions, but most of those millions come from the US...

[Crazytowel]

I'd say Beyonce. Rihanna just has more output because she rush releases everything.
