Beyonce hands down, no other pop girl (besides Gaga, has grossed as much as she has on tour) and no other pop girl could drop an album without any promo and sell 2+ million in 3wks. Beyoncé is in a lane of her own, next maybe Gaga or Rih, but Bey is miles ahead them.
Beyoncé. 2 million albums in 3 weeks, breaking records left and right, outselling these girls with her 1st, 2nd and 3rd week numbers + the BIGGEST female tour and 2nd overall of 2013. Let's not talk about The Universal Acclaim. All that with NO PROMO. Said to perform at the World Cup. None of these girls are doing it, none.
How can Rihanna be biggest popstar when she can sell barely sell anything other than $1,29 single? She can't even get people to tune into her show for free.
Sold out mac line. Didn't Nicki have one of those too?
Rih's got the worst endorsement deals out off all the pop girls.
Roc Nation's marketing really got y'all gassed.
Thank You. Her endorsement deals are mid-level. No where near Beyonce's lvl (who signed a $50M dollar partnership with Pepsi etc.)
Beyonce is miles ahead of these girls. She just bodied them in 2 weeks. With no lead single, no warning, no promo, no nothing. The others can't do it. And have the world at their feet. Could they pull off what Beyonce did? No.
