Cut the garbage about Brown and domestic abuse even coming close to being her defining iconic moments. Domestic abuse is something many women and even some men have to deal with in reality. It is not iconic.
I would say Umbrella and her changing styles and fashions are her iconic moments.
I can't believe this old thread came back to life because someone bumped it.

You're in USA?

She's been on top for 6 years straight. Who else has had such continuous solo success without any breaks? Also she can literally make any collaboration a smash hit

Rihanna herself is iconic

If this was the case, then why she is the only one?

she's not.

Katy is doing it bigger so far right now.

She may have a million hits, but none of them are really iconic. They are popular for about a year, and then everyone moves onto the next (album).

but Rihanna wasn't on top during the Rated R or Talk That Talk era.
she was on top during the Good Girl Gone Bad and LOUD era.
but then she also had Music Of The Sun and A Girl Like Me which were flops.

so she's been "on top" for 2/6 of her era's.

Gurl she has smash after smash not to mention all of her collaborations. She was on top one way or another.

I think some of you really need a whole 099 level course on just the word "iconic" alone.

Holding a record is NOT is not iconic. We just recently entered the digital age. It's highly probable that someone else will come along and surpass that.

And like people have already mentioned, but The Navy doesn't want to acknowledge, her domestic abuse incident is iconic. Not in a good sense of course, but Rihanna has never gotten anymore press over anything else other than that situation and we all know this.

Just like Tina and Ike, Whitney and Bobby relationships are iconic in pop culture because of their behavior.

Pop culture staples, definitely. That's indisputable. Though, I'd like to think that those acts would be better regarded in an essence of infamy, rather than being labelled as iconic. Something "iconic" generally suggests a positive idea.

Everything about Rihanna is iconic

Can your head game at age 16 get you a record deal?

Can your goat yodels land 11 #1's and counting on the Hot 100?

Can your yearly-released, thrown together albums sell amongst the best in the industry?

Can your seven-head land multiple endorsements, CoverGirl and Armani included?

Can your stiff movement, knee-claps and walking across the stage sell out stadiums across the globe?

Can your dry Walmart bought wigs inspire ratchet gurls across the world to copy your style?

Can your pruned Bajan ***** get the public "respect" and approval of several industry heavy-hitters?

Can your unreleased song go Top 40 based on radio play alone?

Can your ESL and third grade literacy level create a wave of kii and deaths on twitter?


She's a basic bitch who managed to convince the world that she's something special. That in itself is ****ing iconic.

Sorry but getting beaten to a bloody pulp is not iconic.

And yes, holding a record IS iconic. When you are the first then it is iconic.

[Mr.Link]

I need someone to define the word "iconic". It's being tossed around so loosely.

As far as I know about it, my firm answer is "nothing".

Someone is so going to use this post against you later.

I love how everyone seems to think she isn't iconic, yet this thread has gone to 33 pages. It's like y'all are trying to convince yourselves more than anything. Stan, ATRL.
