If you go to Brazil , Argentina and Chile , you easily can sell out your concert (if it's a BIG show and a BIG name).
Rihanna's Loud Tour flopped in Brazil , so probably she won't come back. We , the Latinos , don't like Rihanna that much.

No need for the obnoxious "LOL, yes it is". I simply didn't know.
But anyway, she's huge in Argentina according to all the Argentinians on this site and others I've met. Plus the Loud Tour didn't flop in Brazil, so oop.

I know Bey had several shows in South America, and her Brazil shows all sold out.
I'm not sure about the rest of the shows.
Did Rih tour in Brazil at least? I'm just wondering, because I don't know.

Latin America can put up huge box scores.

She did 4 shows in Brazil on the Loud Tour. They didn't do that badly but they certainly didn't do well.

The only thing i know is that Katy slayed both Brazil and Argentina (me included  ) So...
Rihanna's singles are popular in Argentina, specially Umbrella, Only Girl, S&M, Who's That Chick, and everyone knows who Rihanna is, so i don't see the problem for having a concert here. She would sell well.

She should only go to Argentina and perform. Otherwise she can stay banking in those Euros.

Latin America (in general, central/south) is a very complicated market for these divas, Almost any of them are big in Latin America.
They really like spanish/Latin music, and just a few international acts (usually Madonna and Britney Spears, and they probably are the only female international acts with practically every album certified in the most latin american countries).

Yes , it is |
I dont agree. Britney didn sell out Argentina, nor Chile. Neither did Beyonce. The last female to have sold out stadium shows in Argentina was Madonna in 08.

It's like, the biggest touring spot. Madonna did like five shows at a 70,000 capacity stadium in Argentina, if I remember correctly. 
SA's where the money's at.

Katy came to Argentina as a part of a music festival. Snow Patrol was in that festival too. She sold a lot though.

Oh well. Yeah, Justin sold out. But the Jonas too, Argentina is all for the teen idols. Miley sold out too, it was insane. Roger Waters from Pink Floyd is currently at his ninth sold out stadium. Its so weird, Argentina used to stan so hard for Britney during the heyday. Now Lady Gaga is kind of the it girl. Everyone is waiting for her tour to come here.

Rihanna is huge in Africa, for the little music market they do have.

Madonna is the biggest and ultimate international female there.
Britney is going to perform at a Stadium, if she didn't sell out I'm 100% sure she sold at least +85-90% thats impressive for a foreign act, there's even domestic acts that can't perform at stadiums.
Beyonce is only really big in brazil.

Excuse my typo. Okay. Well, someone on the 1st page made it seem as if she wasn't huge there. But, still the places she isn't big I think she should still go. Not tour just go there and promote herself. Many artist have done it..
