And that's the fact of the matter. Comparing all the little details is irrelevant when all three ladies are international phenoms. The OP's intentions are clear.
When you say "entire career(s)" you have to take into consideration sales/percentages/numbers. Frankly if 55% or more of your sales come from your native country, then you aren't much WW.
i didn't know being big in the UK meant WW domination?
This is literally the biggest misconception regarding Rihanna's career that I see on a regular basis. People don't realize that Rihanna does more than go multi-Platinum in the UK everytime she releases an album:

She's had great success in Canada, too. She's popular in South America - Brazil and Venezuela in particular - and is also a huge success in Oceania. She's as popular as any American artist could be in Africa and her European domination is through the roof - Loud alone sold 3 million copes in Europe/The Middle East. Asia is the only continent that she truly hasn't conquered, and that's only because she absolutely never promotes there - and also because her style doesn't appeal very easily to the Asian market. Yet she still sells Gold in Japan everytime she releases an album and has had multiple hits on the South Korean WW chart.
Don't act like Rihanna's only popular in the US and the UK, you look a mess with that.
I'm pretty sure the intentions of the original poster were to imply the career of the act "Beyonce". The other girls are solo acts and have always been, and "Beyonce" is a solo act - the comparison seems irrelevant otherwise. It's like saying, "who's more successful: Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, or T-Boz ".
There could be a poll titled "Which one is a human" and the poll choices could be Beyoncé & a Cat..the cat would win.
Exactly. Bey gets the most hate from other stanbases, but it doesn't even bother me because it's so clear that it all stems from 100% jealously and the fact that they know Beyonce is miles and miles ahead of their favs in all facets of her career, talent, and reputation. Let em hate.
But the Bey stans do the same, they tend to say Bey has been outselling Brit since her debut and her debut was with DC, wasn't it? But when they talk about sales they include the DC sales, it's really interesting tbh.
DC hardly sold albums Britney can sell alot...if she wants to.

You realize that the majority of Mariahs album sales come from the US right? So this statement was self shading.
And when did the US stop being apart of the world?
Are sales really so important? Especially if Britney is a worldwide star (her music videos are shown in every country etc etc) and BIGBANG is just from korea and got popular worldwide by the internet.

Selling albums is far more important then selling singles i.m.o. The issue with Rihanna is that her albums are rushed and sound a mess. While Beyonce has albums covered in class , respect and dedication. Rihannna really needs to bow down and respect beyonce and so shoyuld her fans. At the end of the day Beyonce has done more and given more to music.
And yet her album was top 3 almost everywhere.
It's so funny how so many fanbases are pressed about Bey, even some that us Beyhive don't care for like kelly's stans, Xtina's stans, Madonna's stans etc. To much power in that woman.
