They're both iconic in a few years Umbrella, We Found Love, Diamonds will be remembered has some of the best songs released from the 10's. But anyway that's just your opinion but We Found Love is her biggest hit to date and I'm just looking forward to what other Iconic track she is gonna serve next for her eigth studio album

That's clearly not the only thing. But it's indicative of public interest (in the artist, not their music!), nonetheless. Either way, it's not just about making headlines but making headlines that are controversial and subjective and interesting to engage in.

I honestly don't know what happened to Rihanna. She used to be a good performer, watch her 2006 EMA performance, her 2012 & 13 Grammy performances slayed but other than that recently i've been B.O.R.E.D with her performances. I can't even fully watch the Diamonds World Tour

-Find SOMETHING in the world to sing about other than the tired sex theme rehash on every album
-Have a #1 single that she actually wrote herself

Because she is NEVER in the center of attention and has no star power at all. 4 biggest female artists all time (Beyonce, Madonna, Britney and Gaga) can easely get various headlines by just sitting and doing nothing, Rihanna can't. She is just the female version of Flo Rida, who only scores cheap radio hits (also with low sales), while her peers have many iconic hits in their discographys.

Beyonce doesn't need a hit or have an album out to sell out her world tour in mins, while other girls have hits on the charts and a album out and STILL can't sell out. She can land deals that's worth more than what some girls bring home yearly.

I saw her on tour and she was okay, I liked Stay. But she needs to take some time off.
Things like the 777 reviews and the rapid single releases are really hurting her credibility, and it's simply because everything is all too rushed. Also, she has no iconic performances BECAUSE there are just too many of them every year.
A year or so off after this record would do her a lot of good, and then come back with refined performances. She has the potential to be there, she's global and a hitmaker, but no one will take it seriously if you're just constantly on radio. No one recognizes each song/album. They just see it as "A rihanna song."

She got lots of number one hits and realized that her music is constantly changed to constantly keep her "cool" with the general public and so that they always like her and her songs.

''Single Ladies'' is also not a party song, but it still gets played on every club (so does ''Halo'').

I say this with no intention at shading her, she's in my avi after all.

We Found Love/ Umbrella are as big as Single ladies and Bad Romance so what the hell are you talking about =|. I think people want her to have a BIG ERA!!!!! But what is the point of having a HUGEE Era if you can never reach that level or success ever again. Rihanna is Consistent, ALL your favs are PRODUCTS i have no clue why some of you are so pretentious to think their not. Rihanna is one of the most LOVED pop stars to come out in the millennium . Her songs are the soundtrack for this generation, she always reaches her goal.
You thought she would be a one hit wonder
You thought she would be replaced
You thought she would never get a #1 album
You think she ain't a touring force when Diamonds is set to be her biggest tour yet.
Everyone keeps doubting her but she always proves yall wrong,

But they would rather take some dance song that Gaga always do than some R&B song. Chhh..
And I can still hear We Found Love wherever I go, at the clubs etc. So that means WFL is iconic?

I didn't say that Bey couldn't sell tickets and it's just the same really.. some girls do huge campaigns and can sell out tours but STILL can't get a top ten hit. Where Ri can sell out tours, and get 12 number ones etc.
