Uh, her star power is still as huge as ever. She's never been a quick/huge seller for albums or tour sales, why is it coming across as a shock now, suddenly? The thing people forget about Rihanna is the longevity her eras always have (even though they usually only last a year). Just look at Unapologetic.
It's not shackling. It's just proof that her star power isn't as huge as her peers.
Noo, her star power is still huge. See: Work being a smash hit when it's totally unconventional and sounding like nothing else currently on the radio. Her power also managing to catapult a Tinashe bonus track into the Bubbling Under.
How is that relevant? She's more searched than everyone else as well if you take the cumulative searches 2005 onwards. Britney is almost equal to her if you add 2004 and half of 2005.
I love how people use low pure sales #s in 2016 to drag and act as if that's how music is digested now. Like, let's not forget that Rihanna was the #1 streamed female on Spotify last year with no album out. Streaming is another thing that she slays more than the other girls.
Who is the last girl ?
But slay at everyone major doing it
Selena Gomez.
She hasn't done it yet, but she's going on tour this year, and with her getting 2 #1 albums before fRih it's likely that she'll cross that milestone before Frih as well.
And Work is a smash hit too.
