Right and with Beyonce promoting the hell out of 1+1 it's sad that it could make any impression, with releasing a video for every song on B'day most of them are unknown to the general public. It's even sadder to have a 20 year career and can't get 6.

Released all at the same time, Rihanna would've charted the same. Beyoncé has neglected label promotion strategy since B'Day, Rihanna lives off of label promotion strategy.

Bey's hits are more memorable & has more impact. Just because Rih has more hits doesn't make them memorable, it's all about what song has a large impact.

What I think is EVEN SADDER is the inability to score a number one album until your seventh try when most of your albums were preceded by HUGE albeit forgettable smash hit singles

But she did, multiple WW #1 albums.

Anyways, Beyoncé. She didn't need payola for ANY of her hits. Organic hits will always be remembered over songs that were force fed.

And those three countries were all English speaking

But yeah, of course Rihanna's hits are more memorable... to the Navy.

Rihanna & she still has plenty of fuel left there's almost a 10 yr difference between them and Bey has been out longer

[theworldfamous]

Neither.

Rihanna's singles lose replay value by the time the next era drops.
Beyonce releases great singles, but not as a frequently or as commanding (in terms of promo) to stick in your memory.

Beyoncé has 9 #1's in her "20 year" career.

I ended up voting for Beyoncé. Her Destiny's Child work is old enough to be talked about and a good number of their singles (Survivor, Soldier, Say My Name, Bug-a-Boo, etc.) are still remembered very fondly.

Really? That song still comes on all the time and was on an 8x platinum album. My five year old nephew knows it just from the recurrent radio play it's gotten. How do you not know it?

It's almost as like The Hive criticize the Navy for doing the same thing they are

Who cares if they know it, it didn't go number 1

[QueenBeé]

Rihanna has more hits but they all burn out so quickly.

Beyoncé's hits still get recurrent airplay and stand the test of time.

[pika]

Rihanna. it always gets me when the Hive say all her singles are forgettable despite being huge smashes, but RTW gets 200m views and Love On Top scrapes platinum and "iconic!!!! memorable!!! wow!!" is thrown around.
