Only Girl is charting in more countries than any Gaga song for example. And LOUD more than BTW etc.

Well I guess they pay the money to see Guetta and leave right after. C'mon make some sense girls.

It's advertised as "Rihanna and David Geutta."

What's the reason many of her NA dates, without Guetta, are not sold out?

Comparing Rihanna's power in Europe to her power in NA

And every date she's performed so far has been sold btw.

Rihanna never toured Asia tho. The last time was Philippines with CB for some show last 2 years and that was just one show (clearly it sold out).

Plus, she only promoted in Japan ONCE to perform We Found Love.

It's hard to compare when one actually cares to gain market share and one does not.

Maybe because one can and the other can't?

[I. AX]

If your going to troll at least put in the effort and make sense.

Man Down, one of Rihanna's biggest flops is charting in more countries than Gaga's biggest singles. That is just

Rihanna is way bigger than Gaga atm. But I agree that Gaga is #2.

Anything is up for comparison when we're discussing who the most global pop star is.

That's really cool. There are still plenty of dates that have yet to sellout.

Saying Gaga is 2 is being generous.

I mean she is sitting behind the likes of Norah on kworb.net

Is bigger than Gaga in Europe, Oceania, Africa and the Middle East.

North America remains up for debate.

Say, here's a quick solution to solve the global debate.

WW Studio Albums:

Gaga - 22.5m (7.5m Average) -- Being conservative
Rihanna - 29.4m (4.2m Average) -- Being generous


WW Singles (IFPI):

Gaga
Poker Face - 9.8m
Bad Romance - 9.7m
Born This Way - 8.2m
Just Dance - 7.7m
Telephone - 7.4m

Rihanna
Love the Way You Lie - 9.3m
Umbrella - 6.6m


WW Touring:

Gaga - 2/2 in tours selling $200m+ in tickets
Rihanna - 0/4 in tours selling $100m+ in tickets


Gee, when you look at the total pie like that, it really does become all so clear.

This isn't 2010 anymore folks. Right now it's Rihanna, Adele, Katy and Bruno. (JT's climbing his way back too).

You could say Taylor as well since she's gone more pop lately.

Lmao okay. Gaga has outsold Rihanna in just about every aspect multiple times: albums, tour tickets, singles, fragrance, etc. Gaga is more global than Rihanna with less albums and less active years in the spotlight.

Comparing her strongest market where no one else is in her vicinity to one of her weakest esp touring wise is not making any sense, no matter how global she is.

Thats like me using Gaga's average gross per date in South America against her #'s in Asia.

the thread was born like "Navy & little monsters VS others" and now is like "Navy vs Little monsters"

Why have you only added two rihanna singles? didn't WFL sell over 9 million copies worldwide?

[Harry]

I desperately wanna say Gaga but where is her impact? In a way, it feels like Mariah and Celine. All numbers nothing when you can't feel it.

Ugh I'm cravin some peanut butter right now.

[Ady.]

If we use IFPI, Unapologetic sold 2,3m in just 5 weeks with no 0.99$ discounts.

Educate yourself plz.

Rihanna has sold more albums, more singles, is more acclaimed, has won more awards, is bigger on social media.

Albeit its because Rihanna has more albums but saying she has outdone her in any of this
