Not really. Most, if not all of her more recent hits have been pop oriented.

What's my Name?,Man Down (europe smash),Rude Boy ,Talk That Talk (her future smash for sure), are more urban oriented.

There are many things iconic about Rihanna's career.

Her knack for transformation.
Coming from Barbados to become one of the biggest popstars of the 2000's.
Her songs are unique and different.
Umbrella-the song and video are both iconic.
She played a large role in the acceptance of dance music in the US.
WFl, I believe, the video and song will become iconic.
Can turn almost any song into a hit.
Massive following, her twitter is practically iconic.
I think the Loud era will be iconic, the red hair, Whats My Name?
Her personal life(aka Chris Brown)
Fastest accumulation of number one hits.

Yes Rihanna was doing electro-pop before Rihanna. But why was LOUD filled with electro-pop tunes? Rated R was something different and risky and Rihanna's label agreed so she had to switch her style to electro-pop because the other one was not doing like the label wanted, so she followed the trend.

But how the hell did she follow the trend when she did it before? On Loud she only went back to HER old sound

I mean sis, they make it to easy....if her brand was so weak she wouldn't be able to sell 2m ww in just a month and a half with little to no promo aside from WFL. She wouldn't be able to sell a new album while on tour for her last. WFL wouldn't be going on it's 9th week at #1 when it's only had 2 live performances (both which occurred AFTER WFL hit #1)

[Sinister]

ppl keep stating that she is the #1 digital singer seller and that's true but she has been out longer than most of the artist on the list...some artist are extremely close behind her any they have significantly less singles

her biggest selling single is what and how much has it sold???

It doesn't matter if it did or not, fact is she did it before so she didn't follow the trend.

She did if she wasn't following the trend why didn't she make more urban music like Rated R? Why did she had to come back in 2010 with a electro-pop album? The fact remains that Rihanna followed the electro-pop trend.

The amount of time is irrelevant, it still disproves your point. If Rihanna is relevant without a hit song on radio, then she can't only be as relevant as her latest hit.

Rated R was her first album post-Gaga and that wasn't a pop-orientated album.

Yes it is. And Loud is pop candy and TTT's singles so far have consisted of straight pop songs.

[Clump]

Nothing, really. But that doesn't matter because she'll still be around until she gets too old and another marginally talented pretty girl steps up to fill her shoes.

Man Down is pop candy? What's my Name? Skin? Raining Man?

TTT have only 2 singles and You Da One is not straight pop

But she has released a gazillion more pop singles so a couple lite reggae hits ain't gonna change much.

Rated R is extremely urban-oriented with pop and rock influences. I mean...

The fact is that Rihanna did not follow the Gaga trend. If she had, then Rated R wouldn't have been an urban album, coming directly after Gaga's debut.

And Loud isn't an electro-pop album.
