"But it seems like anyone can get a number 1 album in the U.K."

Does that "anyone" also include your fave? The "singes artist" Rihanna?

"Don`t compare Rihanna`s worldwide status to Nicki`s"

When Nicki Minaj begins to tour the "world", much like Rihanna has been doing for much of HER career, THEN we'll see; YOU'LL then see less and less of your fave. The two artists who've YET to "world tour" since their latest releases: Nicki Minaj and Chris Brown.

"Because Rihanna`s worldwide status >>>>> Nicki`s !!!!"

1.) Rihanna has been touring "worldwide" and thus has built something of a following. A "singles" following, I should add.

2.) I wonder, just how much "fans" will remain after she becomes "the face" of a $450-Million failure: "Battleship"?

"Rihanna has fans across the globe"

(Again...) And after Nicki Minaj soon begins to tour "across the globe" then, we'll see. Up till now, Rihanna has had the 'world stage' all to herself. And, up until now, she's YET to evolve into "more" - she still remains a "singles" artist.

Your Rihanna is fighting a war on many fronts:

1.) Nicki Minaj is erasing her from the Pop-culture Landscape.
2.) Rita Ora, who is FAR-more talented than your fave, is now the apple of Rihanna's former mentor's eye.
3.) Chris Brown has publicly REJECTED her. Matt Kemp's handlers have now warned him about being too closely associated with her, as she's proved herself, as see in 2010, that she brings nothing but bad luck and strife to all the men who publicly court her.
4.) "Battleship" is a film that will cost $450-Million in final bring-to-theater costs. Rihanna is BY FAR T-H-E best known face AND name of all the actors for/of that $450-Million movie. Ergo: Rihanna will be the face of a "$450-Million FAILURE"..!!
