On a talent tip, their skills couldn’t be any further apart-with one having lots of it and the other renowned for her lack of it.
However, perhaps down to the genius of Beyonce‘s husband Jay Z, Rihanna has become one of the world’s most Popular acts- joining Knowles’ to become the only two ‘black’ singers with unmatched notoriety.
Yes, while she is yet to score a #1 LP or match Knowles’ critical feats, the last four years have seen the pair pitted against each other- their sales scrutinized and compared- the ‘mentor/student’ relationship they were alleged to have had thrown into disrepute.
So now we ask:
Is Rihanna Beyonce’s Biggest Rival?
Weigh in below…
![Extended Trailer: Prime Video's 'Cruel Intentions' Series [Starring Savannah Lee Smith, Sarah Catherine Hook, & Zac Burgess]](https://thatgrapejuice.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/cruel-intentions-prime-trailer-tv-adaptation-thatgrapejuice-2024-464x260.jpg "Extended Trailer: Prime Video's 'Cruel Intentions' Series [Starring Savannah Lee Smith, Sarah Catherine Hook, & Zac Burgess].")
BEYAWNCE’S LEVEL OF CLASS ALONE SLAYS RHI RHI’S WHOLE CAREER… SHE A LIL TO RATCHET FOR ME THESE DAYS SO BEYAWNCE SEEMS BETTER FIT FOR THE CROWN.. BUT IM NOT A FAN OF NEITHER OF THEIR MUSIC TO BE HONEST.
Sales wise, yes. But that’s it. Talent wise, Ciara is. And when Ciara comes back this year, she will be in competition with them and the rest of the pop girls.
hmmm yes her biggest rival but wait to the queens next album
Yes and No, but either way Beyonce is still better.
Don’t know about all that rival stuff. What I could say is I hate that RED hair and Lipstick on Beyonce. It’s not becoming on her at all. Taking that oath you must have red hair at one point for the ritural.
No comment
Rival absolutely not! to be someones rival you need to be matched on talent. And these ladies sure are not matched on talent. It is simply because they are both young black women. Beyonce has been out for nearly 16 years slaying, breaking records and setting trends. Rihanna although she has recently found success in no.1 songs simply doesnt compare in ANY catergory and it is such an insult to Beyonce to even say rihannas name in the same sentence.
that picture of Beyonce is photoshopped
They are chart rivals yes. But really Rihanna spews out albums. If beyonce did, I’m sure we’d see different chart results. Thing is, ask anyone over 10 and they can recognise their talent level is miles apart. Beyonce can sing and dance and is respected by her peers and legends. Rihanna has no class, little artistry other than s**** and no clear path other than what da label say eh eh
Rihanna is 1 of Pop’s biggest females @ the moment and I’m proud of her as I’m from Barbados myself But…Beyonce is THEE Queen, no1 male or female in the industry compares and that is all!
I see TGJ wants them hits why don’t ya try to go a day without this Stan war s*** ya be doing smh
Is this a joke?? Beyonslay is sitting at home and still getting s*** R****** is seeking attention everywhere she goes Lol that h** is just digusting and stupid,, doa I will give R****** her props cause she made a way for herself and accomplished a lot but that b**** in got s*** on BEYONSLAY AND YALL H*** WILL DEAL 🙂 NAVYSLUTS
@Nic GURL THANK YOU AT LEAST YOU’RE ONE RIHANNA FAN THAT CAN BE HONEST
NAHJEE

I see TGJ wants them hits why don’t ya try to go a day without this Stan war s*** ya be doing smh
________________________________________________________________
so girl you see it to huh?…..it’s clearly a slow news day, both of these artist are in their own lane
TGJ has put a little sumthing sumthing in ya’ll grape juice to make you h*** drunk or something to even come up with an article like this.
On The Charts ? Yes ! Talent Wise ? No ! Maybe I Would Have Been Brandy If She Didn’t Fall Off Or Aaliyah If She Didn’t Die But Queen Bey Is Her Only Competition Right Now Sadly Maybe If Christina Can Get A Vocal Coach And Dance Lessons Like Her Debut.
ARE SO DESPERATE FOR HITS? WHY THE F*** DO WE HAVE TO HEAR ABOUT RIHANNA ON EVERY DAMN POST.
YOU ALREADY SAID IT YOUR F****** SELF. THEY ARE THE ONLY TWO BLACK FEMALES IN POP WHO HAVE BEEN DOING IT BIG FOR THE PAST 5YRS.
THEY ARE CHART COMPETITORS AND THEIR SUCCESS IS PRETTY MUCH ON THE SAME LEVEL. WHO CARES. THIS SHOULDNT BE A F****** TOPIC.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BEYONCE AND RIHANNA STANS PAY THIS NO MIND. THIS IS A TIRED ASS OVER FLOGGED TOPIC. IGNORE IT AND DONT START ANY ARGUMENTS
Im mad about that picture lol
queen Ri surpassed BLEACHonce YEARS AGO!!! 🙂
FLOPonce is WASHED
When was the last time she had a hit? 2008? Lol!!
And Queen Ri surpassed 4orgottens sales in a matter of MONTHS
RIHANNA WINS!!! Rihanna is a legend! THIEFonce isn’t on her level! You all will deal 🙂
Rihanna= artist of the decade
comparing bey with riri is very un fair their is no talente in riri people support her only because they dont want bey to do well beyonce is the most allaround talented star out their bey is the real deal their is too much raw talente in bey this is why she is being hated by hatemongers BEYONCE IS REAL VERY GOOD god bless protect her for life i am very proud and lucky to be her fan for life long live the queen
Beyonce is in a league of her own….
Really TGJ…. First of all they are both great but they should never be compared as beyonce is in a different leauge from every artist right now! And second Rihanna navy and BeyHive please dont waste both your times arguing over this as that is what TGJ wants loads of comments, some people like rihanna others prefer beyonce. they should never be compared!
Yes they are rivals but I would have to say it’s been all about Rihanna the past few years. Whilst Beyonce may be more talented she isn’t original she has based her career on being inspired by others. Rihannas music is better than Beyonces.
Rihanna wishes she was Beyonces rival but she knows this will never be.
The performances above show why.
For all her number ones and awards Rihanna cannot match Beys level on the stage or her class in public.
Bey is Crystle and Rihanna is Alexis WITHOUT class.
Nope. Beyonce makes music for adults. rihanna makes music for teeny boppers.
That was Jay’s plan.It worked,Beyonce being compared to this s*** ugh²
I dont feel sorry for her cause she helped the h**…Dumb much 😈
LOL! This is shameless TGJ…seriously…
The worst part is that childish ‘stans’ are going to play right into it, fully knowing they’re being baited.
But I guess if your readers are that easy to play puppeteer with for hits, then why not?
That Grape Juice loves running Rihanna down. In my opinion, Rihanna is better.
WAHAHAHAH
NO
WAY.
Sales wise, yes.
Talent wise, hell f****** no.
I like both of them. But Rihanna could never do what Beyonce does…even though she is getting better. Why don’t yall show the vid of Rih at the Grammys this year? She did pretty well and surprised me! Stop hating on her and give her the props she’s earned.
hmmmmm , slow news day TGJ ?!
Bye.
Beyoncé take it to another level…. 15 years later and still No passengers on her plane B)
Probably the most shamelessly desperate post on a blog I have ever seen in my life.
Why always these three orrible Rihannas exibitions?
She had a lot of videos with good exibistions.
Anyway Bee is the queen, but this post is really f****n stupid
I see the Hive are trying to back out of this one because they know we got receipts in abundance.
Isnt it funny my queen has more number 1 singles than Beyonce even though beyonce came out almost a decade before her.
Isnt it enough funny that Rihanna has had a minimum of three number one singles per year since she debuted but B hasnt had ONE since 2008.
Isnt it funny how rihanna isnt always being sued for stealing ideas but Beyonce has a closet full of lawsuits ranging from Jennifer Armour to Desree?
I blame this new TGJ staff member,he is annoying as f***.Rihanna has plenty albums and singles and collabos yet she is on the same level as Katy perry.
You should focus on BATTLESHIP Box office numbers because this post is a shameless way to distract us from her flop movie and broken record.
Sorry but Beyonce is in a league of her own. She has solidified herself as one of the greatest performers of our generation. She is the most referenced artist when it comes to females. Everyone has to bring her name up when speaking of Rihanna, Ciara, Britney, Xtina, Gaga, & even Aaliyah, every successful female artist is compared to her. She has broken records & has won numerous awards. Beyonce is much better in my opinion. & please don’t compare Beyonce’s weakest performance to Rihanna’s best, Beyonce will always win.
Kat Deluna Fan I agree, but i love this question because it gives me the chance to slay the f*** out of YOU and those flop hive members.
i think the BEYONCE’S BIGGEST RIVAL is LADY GAGA. she even said it once.
@ THE GREAT LACEFRONCE ——- B**** THE NERVE OF YOU, GIRL POT HEAD ASS RIHANNA JUST NOW WITH IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS JUST REALLY BECAME HOT ON THE CHARTS, B**** BEYONCE HAVE SLAYED SINCE 1997 IN HER DESTINYS CHILD ERA, AND LETS NOT GET INTO 2003 WHEN SHE CAME OUT KNOCKING GIRLS DOWN WITH HER SOLO LOW CAREER. YOU MAY WANT TO GO BACK AND DO YOUR RESEARCH.
OR SHUT YOUR D*** SUCKERS
Here I Am.
Dont make me laugh, who did she slay in 2003? Ashanti? Not that difficult when you have the advantage of being fair with a pop sound. As we saw with 4 Beyonce is a Pop star posing as an randb singer to avoid being compared to Flopga and the rest.
HELLO IS THAT REALLY A COMPARISON? LOL. sam = hits. he really wants these hits.
Rihanna can never gain the respect beyonce has gained in the industry after 15 years. She cannot match the talent beyonce has and Beyonce sales were pushed with no social media. Rihanna has more albums than Beyonce and that is it. Her music is generic and lame. Her talent is no where. She is just a puppet.
Anyone with a good sense can see that after 7 years she has not one iconic era or performance. Instead of building her brand she is destroying it. Her influence is no where near music. no one is inspired by her in music but maybe hair colors. shame, shame.
In a decade Beyonce conquered music, films and business. she is the highest paid musician and highest paid black actress
She is in he own lane and the industry has made in quite clear already. If beyonce has to be compared to a pop star it will not be rihanna. I would accept another female who has had a great impact in music and has talent.
Of course she is but they’re so different in so many ways, both talented even if some love to criticize Rihanna, nothing special about the two except that they are the only Black female singers that make competition to White Female Singers, they’re both overvalued by their Fanbase and some critics, which is not a bad thing because every Musician in some part is no matter their Race or Gender. Beyonce has always play the role of the good girl, almost puritan which is hypocritical, because she’s always half naked on stage just like the rest, no classic to me, she is a B**** just like Rihanna, Britney, Xtina and Gaga are. Rihanna she’s a badass, she is risky, she doesn’t care what people think about her, she will calm down with the time, just like every normal person does. As a Musician Beyonce is a great singer nothing impressive, she can do some decent choreography, Rihanna has good vocals she just need to control her live singing, nothing impressive, not a dancer but can shake her ass like the rest. In conclusion both women are nothing more than being part of the rest of the long list of the Female domination in the Music industry. plaese can we go back to the times when Men were the kings, i’m tired of these women obsession for fame, money, power and being better than her colleagues. Thta’s why the Rock never dies to me, because is full of Men, Pop Music is full of hungry Women full of themselves.
When musical icons welcome you with open arms & praise you, that is something that almost never happens to artists. Patti Labelle, Tina Turner, Steveie Wonder, Barbara Streisand, Diana Ross, & Prince have praised Beyonce. She has been in the industry for 15 years and has accomplished so much (16 Grammys) before she was even 30. Rihanna has said “my greatest idol is Beyonce” what competition? Rihanna would have to learn to sing & dance before we make it a competition. Love Rihanna but no one can take Beyonce’s spot.
Beyonce has had the most honors and most talented of her generation, hence the leading lady in a star is born, after judy, and Barbara. #powww

^^^^ this !! i agree with every word of it. 🙂
Numbers wise Rihanna is actually beating Beyonce’s solo career! BUT, Beyonce is the best performer alive!! Nobody can touch her live shows!!!
bey still out sales ri ri album wise, look it up. i just did. rihanna has more # 1 singles and that is it. so if those “numbers” are singles then yes but i want you look up the album sales yourself beyonces flop album still out sold talk that talk. and beyonce has more number #1 albums and is worth way more than rihanna.
itssssss
beyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
babyyyy
Rihanna is the anti Beyonce artist. While Beyonce has all the talent and performance skills, Rihanna has the ‘rebellion’ and ‘rock star’ personality that surpasses skill, hence why she does not try to improve her talent. Which is exactly what makes Rihanna her biggest rival to date, even though Beyonce has and will probably continue to win the battle overall. But its obvious you cant just yet count Rihanna out of the war
No b****,you love the fact that Beyonce name and rihanna are associated because that’s the only way goatssie is close to greatness 😉
Actually Beyonce is very talented, singer and dancer, but I think right now Rihanna is a bigger international star than Beyonce. Rihanna has a different styles and it works for her, I actually love her wild and risky approach, she is to me more exciting, than Beyonce. Beyonce is very exciting in watching her performance, but she is a very boring artist.
All the Navy can bring up are singles, seriously singles? A single is $1.29 an album starts at $10. Beyonce may not have 10 #1 singles but she has 5 #1 singles & 4 number #1 albums (she also has another 5 #1 singles with DC). 6 albums yet her tiredass fanbase can’t get her a #1 album? Beyonce will always win specially in the eyes of legends. Let’s not even bring up talent, I know the Navy ain’t dumb enough to compare Queen Bey & Rihanna on a talent scale.
@ Onyx —— GIRL MISS RHI RHI HAS NO STYLE OF HER TAKE A LOOK AT HER PAST….. DO WE NOT REMEMBER HOW SHE LOOKED IN PON DE REPLAY???? B**** HER LOOK WAS HANDED TO HER. AND THE BAD GIRL ACT SHE PLAYS IS LAME, IF SHE WAS SO BAD SHE COULD HAVE FOUGHT OFF CHRIS BROWN WHEN HE ON TAPPIN THE GIRLS.
JUST SAYIN
@POP ROYALTY ( RUDE BOY)
True Blue Man.
I don’t even like Beyonce but come on this is stupid. Beyonce wins, please don’t show us there performances, that embarrassing for Rihanna.
An artist who has conguered a decade??? DC3 DOMINATION NOT INCLUDED DAMN
most riaa certifications in music history with 4 albums
airplay and ringtone of the decade
artist of the decade billboard
artist of the decade NRJ france
female artist of the millinieum Billboard
16 grammys biggest musical merit
naacp award for songwriting
International artist of excellence 4th and only female AMA
Contribution to arts WMA
don’t forget JOURNALIST AWARD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
International Icon after 4 solo albums, many iconic performances and eras and MAJOR CAREER HIGHLIGHTS.
These are just some of the honors, this is not even including over ventures, only music. No one has even done all of this in 10 years.
Rihanna has 3 more years to top that and she is not even quarter way yet. she has more singles because more albums = more singles and don’t forget the fact that she releases them one after the other. she has no MUSICAL HIGHLIGHTS. IF THERE IS ANY LET KNOW.
BEYONCE IS BADDASS.
The question is Rihanna Beyonce competition , yes she is, when was the last time Beyonce charted at the top of 100 billboard chart. He isn’t comparing who is more talented, he said is Rihanna is competition, the answer is YES.
when was the last time rihanna had a number 1 album……never. she’s not real competition she’s a product of payola
@Here I Am
Men are stronger than women at leats that you are Gabourey Sidibe, i’m a boy by the way.
IS @TGJ REALLYN THIS DESPERATE FOR HITS???????
WTF?????? LMAO. I KNOW YOU LOVE TO CREATE STAN WARS BUT F****** HELL – YOU’RE GONNA COMPARE “THE KING” TO THE “PAUPER”?
“KING BEY” IS, AND WILL ALWAYS BE, THE PRIMARY CANDIDATE!!!
YES – RIHANNA MAY HAVE 10 NO. 1 SINGLES AND WHAT NOT, BUT WHERE IS HER NO.1 ALBUM???????
AND PLEASE – IF ANY MEMBER OF THE NAVY DARE SAY THAT RIHANNA IS THE MORE TALENTED, I SWEAR…….
Rihanna is Beyonce rival, Rihanna ruling the charts over the past three years and she is a bigger international star. Beyonce has to catch back up to Rihanna on the charts.

__________________________________________________________
True. And like Kat Deluna said it wouldn’t have been that way if Bey wasn’t married to the dude Rihanna was screwing to get on *blank stare* she wouldn’t even be in the same sentence if that wasn’t the case.
You people can’t read, the question was, If Rihanna Beyance biggest Rival, yes she is. When was the last time Beyonce charted the top 10 on Billboard, Did any of her singles go platinum from digital downloads. They didn’t ask who is the best, they are asking who Beyonce has to compete with in the music industry. Right now it is Rihanna, her stats are way better.
@ZANIA if it was all about the charts why would he post their performances? The industry is much more than who has #1 singles dahling. BTW Beyonce wins.
Commercially, absolutely! Rihanna can stand toe to toe with anyone. But of course Beyonce talent-wise is in a class all on her own, those videos posted give evidence to that. So yes and no
UNTIL RIHANNA WINS 6 GRAMMY’S IN ONE NIGHT SHE IS NOTHING…..
UNTIL SHE CAN BE ALOUD TO SING FOR ANY PRESIDENT SHE IS NOTHING…
UNTIL SHE HEADLINE THE B.E.T AWARD AND NOT EVEN BE IN THE U.S SHE IS NOTHING….
UNTIL SHE CAN SHE SHE WAS THE FIRST FEMALE ARTIST TO HAVE A #1 SINGLE AND ALBUM SIMULTANEOUSLY IN BOTH THE U.S AND THE U.K SHE IS NOTHING….
UNTIL THE BILLBOARDS NAME HER WOMAN OF ANY YEAR SHE IS NOTHING…
UNTIL SHE CAN SHE SHE IS OR WAS THE BEST SELLING FEMALE ARTIST OF ANY DECADE THEN SHE IS NOTHING….
@ JAKE SORRY BUT THE NAVY RELY ON THE BAD GIRL ATTITUDE AND LACK SALES OFF 6 ALBUMS. BEYONCE HAS 4 ALBUMS. THEY’RE DUMB JUST LIKE THEIR FAV.
@ ZANIA SHE IS BIGGER INTERNATIONALLY YET HER TOUR COULDN’T GROSS MORE THAN BEYONCE’S. HER TICKETS ARE SO LOW AND DISCOUNTED. BEYONCE HAS MODERATE SALES, WITHOUT A HIT AND TRAVELLING THE WORLD. #1 ALBUM IN MORE COUNTRIES THAN RIHANNA. SHE IS SO GREAT AND HER MOVIE IS TANKING SO BAD. WHY CAN’T HER FANS SUPPORT HER. OH WHY CAN’T SHE HAVE A #1 ALBUM IN THE US YET?B**** HAVE A SEAT AND GO STUDY THE CAREER OF BEYONCE. SHE IS NOW WITH CHILD, AND LET ME KNOW HOW FAR AND HOW LONG WILL THE BAD GIRL ATTITUDE TAKE HER. MAYBE IT WILL DRAG HER IN THE HALL OF FAME.
IT HAS BEEN 7 YEARS AND SHE CANNOT EVEN MAKE MONEY OFF HER MUSIC TO PLACE HER ON FORBES? THE FACT THAT RIHANNA WAS THE ONLY ARTIST ON TOUR LAST YEAR REALLY GOT YALL BRAVE. SO BRAVE
how was rihanna sales after 4 albums?
@KAM, THANK YOU, SOMEONE ACTUALLY IF TELLING THE TRUTH. Rihanna is her rival right now, but Beyonce is more talented. But according to sales and charts, Rihanna has her beat right now.
I THINK SAM REALLY WANTS HITS. YOUTUBE CAN GIVE EVERYTHING YOU WANT. SAM I AM NOT GIVING YOU HITS OFF THIS.
IF YOU STATED LADY GAGA OR ADELE, WELL I’D GO FOR IT. I AM WASTING MY TIME
Is Christina A compared to Ke$ha? Is Britney compared to Katy Perry? The formers were making moves while the latters were still in high school. They aren’t and shouldn’t be compared, so why is Bey compared to Rih?……….because of Jay.
@ ONYX ——– I KNOW YOUR A BOY
@kimberly How many billboard awards do Beyonce have this Year? How many #1 singles that top 100 billboard do Beyonce have from last year? How many platinum digital singles do Beyonce have from last year? How much did Rihanna Loud and Talk that Talk sold international and How much did Beyonce sold with 4 internationally? Rihanna didn’t get a #1 album because Def Jam releases her album around thanksgiving with major artist competition. Beyonce released her albums with no competition last year. We are not talking about Beyonce career accomplishments, we are talking about who is her rival as of today in music. Don’t say Beyonce doesn’t have to compete look at her sales from the past year. The answer is Rihanna.
bey still sold more internationally, where are you getting you’re info go to the RIAA websites.
Maybe in 2007. Now BeYAWNce’s biggest rival is BeYAWNce because she can’t even snatch her own wig much less anyone else’s. BeYAWNce has yet to match the success of her first album, while Rihanna outsold her debut with her sophomore and her sophomore with her third album and even matched the success of Good Girl Gone Bad with LOUD. BeYAWNce’s flop/hit ratio has never been more 4lop the past few years. I RELISHED the day 8 BeYAWNce singles in a row flopped and missed the Top 10. LMFAO i can’t.
“Video Phone”
“Run the World (Girls)”
“1+1”
“Best Thing I Never Had”
“Countdown”
“Party”
“Love on Top”
“End of Time”
but ri ri still hasn’t sold more than bey. her flop album still beat talk that talk in sales
ARE YOU REALLY COMPARING A TEACHER TO A ROOKIE?????? IM DONE
Are we talking about only black artist or pop artist ? Because based on black artist yes Rihanna has been a very close rival of Beyonce these past few years to be honest but if we are talking about in the pop world then it would b a wise bet to say Gaga has been Beyonces biggest rival considering the cultural impact she has made since 2008 her ww sales,impact of her style and videos,and concert tours I would say she has been the Biggest rival to Beyonce outside of RIhanna if anybody
@ JER ———————— TRICK THE HATE THAT TYPING FROM YOUR FINGERS….
BEYCAUSE A SINGLE ISNT 1 ON THE CHARTS DOES NOT MAKE IT A FLOP
@MAL ———- COME ON SOMEBODY WITH SOME SENCE
OH @Zania u Pressed lil B****
Beyonce has more the DOUBLE as much Platinum,GOld then rihanna…nr.1 singles all u can do
U HAVE TO TAKE 2 albums vs “4”
LOud&TTT vs 4
should i take IAM SASHA FIERCE & 4
B**** IamSashafierce slays Loud&TTT together
Beyonce sold more albums with 3 then rihanna with 6
explain me why is BEyonce Billboards nr.1 female if RIhanna is more succesful !?
Every Artist has there down album SPECIALY you as RItard fan should know
When rihanna gets a Legend award we talk
all u can come with is nr.1s lmaoo RIhanna has more then whitney so i dont think it count so much 😀
NAVY 4 LIFE4 sold 2.5 million without a hit single. TTT sold 2.5 million with Rihanna’s most successful single to date. DEAL. Don’t forget that You Da Flop, Talk That Flop and Birthday Flop missed the top 10 EVERYWHERE (SHAME!). I want to see Rihanna smashing without generic-europop songs! LOL. It’s impossible. Def Jam played a lot of payola to save You Da Flop, but it didn’t work. LMAO. She was so desesperate that she begged Chris Brown to join on ‘Cake’, thanks for the controversy it’s doing great on Urban radios.P.S. I’m waiting for Rihanna’s #1 album and multi-platinum album without re-releases. I’m also waiting for an iconic performance.Who’s flopping now? TTT is a flop! RIhanna flopped
@ LMAOOO ——– B**** YOU BETTA COME ON AND SAY THAT I GOTTA ANOTHER TROOPER ON MY TEAM
@LMAA Beyonce 4 album been out for a year and that is all it sold 2.5, by the way Rihanna Talk that Talk been out for 6 months and sold 2.6 million, so back to the question who is Beyonce Rivalry, RIHANNA. Did Beyonce win any Grammys this year for 4, how many Billboard nominations she has, so back to the questions, yes Beyonce has to compete with Rihanna now. Go back to the drawing board, and do a better album and release some better singles.
Beyonce helped,teached and mentored Rihanna by charity and because her husband wanted to have successfull artists like Justin bieber for Usher,Gaga for akon or MJB for Diddy.
But Rihanna wants to be associated to beyonce and turned it into a competiton with her mentor.The fact that Adele can outsell MJ doesnt not change the fact that they aint rivals,so neither are Bey and Rhanna.But rihanna wants to BE BEYONCE AND THE REST OF THE WORLD COMPETITION(see her VEVO RECORD STUNT).
If adele claims Bey as her idol and still stan for her but aint competiton,How the hell would goatssie one???
I BLAME BEYONCE FOR HELPING UNGRATEFUL ISLAND GIRL.BEYONCE IS THE DUMBEST DIVA IN THE HISTORY OF MUSIC BECAUSE NOBODY HAS EVER DONE THIS NOR WOULD EVER IN THE FUTURE.
BEYONCE IS DUMB.
THE ARTICLE WRITER is try too hard 👿
Queen Ri is on FLOPonces heels in total album sales
LEGEND!!!!!!!
@HERE I AM
H** HUSH!!!!!
FLOPonce hasnt been relevant since 2008 😕
Ickie minaj cd in free fall!!!! FLOOOOOOOOOOOOPPP B****!!!! Kimmie comn fo dat plastic ass bitc!h!!! YEA I FUCKN SAID IT NNNN WIT B******!!!
@ ZANIA ——– B**** SHE DIDNT NEED TO WIN ANY THIS YEAR, SHE HAS 16, AND RIHANNA SAY THAT SINCE SHE HAS 6 AMMMMMMMMMMMAZIN ALBUMS?
I’am not a huge fan of either of these ladies, but Beyonce is by far the best out of the two. Unlike Rihanna Beyonce can actually sing and lets not forget her entertaining shows!! Rihanna is more of a model if anything. Rihanna fans are so delusional its scary! Mariah and Beyonce run the industry in my opinion and they are like best friends!
@ The One, Beyonce, runs the industry, SO WHEN WILL SHE RUN THE CHARTS AND SALES?
When beyonce came on the scene you people hated her and said she could not sing now stop with the comparison stop hating rihanna beyonce shake her ass on stage like a go go dancer from Vegas what the Hell you haters call talent everyone in the world have different f****** taste deal with it beyonce is 30 rihanna is 24 Sam stop with this get off rihanna p**** stick with people you love on your blog leave ri alone its obvious you love her because you post something everyday about her no one comes here unless its a ri post she paying your rent
But, it was true that Beyonce couldn’t sing that well when she first came on the scene. She was always over singing and doing sloppy ass runs trying to sound like Brandy. Today, Beyonce is like a whole new creation. The girl can sing her ass off and she has pretty much surpassed all of her peers, even Usher. That is a testament to her hard work and determination. However, she had to have some talent to be able to get as good as she became. It’s hard to see Rihanna rising to that level.
@ THE GREAT LACEFRONCE. ———— RIH-TARD SHE AINT ON NOBODYS HEELS BUT HER OWNS.,,,,,,,,, BUT THE FACT IS
(YELLS) SHE DOESNT HAVE A NUMBER 1 ALBUM (ANYWHERE)
SO B**** THE NERVE OF YOU,,,
B**** KELLY ROWLAND ALBUM WAS NUMBER 3 ON THE ALBUM CHARTS
WHERES RIHANNA?????????????????????
@ ZANIA ——– WHEN WILL RIHANNA RUN INTO A NUMBER ONE ALBUM
Easy yes, but only because she black.
Azealia Banks Praises Beyonce: “She’s Better Than Everything”
Beyonce is better than Rihanna altogether, but on the other side of things, they both jack their styles from others and each other. Rihanna even said it herself that all the “it” females right now have this inflated ego and if another female comes along and upstages them, they feel compelled to compete 10x’s harder.
IMO, Rihanna, Katy, Gaga, and Beyonce have all destroyed what music is all about. They’ve all turned it into some narcissitic competition.
Focus on yourself and your music and I will have more respect for you.
All four of Beyonce’s solo albums topped the charts. All six of Rihanna’s albums didn’t. And don’t give me that “holiday competition” excuse…if Rihanna were the “star” her idiot fans think she is, then she should be able to beat her competitors for the top spot. That she is unable to says more than you fools have the balls to admit.
All of Beyonce’s #1 singles have been HER songs. A handful of Rihanna’s are actually other peoples songs, where she just played hook singer on. Sorry, but “Love The Way You Lie” and “Live Your Life” aren’t Rihanna songs.
Beyonce is worth over $300 million – herself…add Jay-Z’s money to hers and her house is worth nearly a billion. Rihanna doesn’t even have $100 million.
Beyonce has 16 Grammy’s, which is the 3rd most for a female, and she’s just one award away from being in the all time top 10…I don’t even know how many Rihanna has, but I bet it ain’t half as B’s number.
Beyonce’s highest grossing tour earned over $100 million. Rihanna’s highest grossing earned under $100 million.
Beyonce has acted in 4 films that topped the weekend box office…one of which (her most recent) she had above the title credit. Now she’s doing a movie with Clint Eastwood and Leonardo DiCaprio. Compare that to Rihanna’s silly Battleship movie that she isn’t even the star of, and the studio is nervous about releasing Stateside.
Beyonce has iconic/legendary celebrities and public figures like Oprah, Barbra Striesand, Stevie Wonder, Prince, Michelle Obama, Clint Eastwood, etc., etc. singing her praises and constantly reaching out to her. What legends endorse Rihanna?
I think it’s obvious who the bigger star is. I don’t know who Beyonce’s competition is, but it ain’t Rihanna.
If Rihanna’s chart statistics seem better now, it’s because this b**** releases a new album every year. Hell, she’s rumored to working on another album. They don’t have faith in her or her audience to have her take a break, because they know that if she does the public will very easily move on. Beyonce releases a new album every 2-3 years, and still causes more hysteria than Rihanna does. Why? Because Beyonce is a real star, with a real following and can afford to take her time. She can also afford to go against the grain and do what she wants to do (like release an R&B album in an all pop climate). Rihanna can’t. She HAS to play the game. She HAS to strike while the iron is hot. Because NOBODY is going to wait for her…or support her if she decides to experiment or be contrary to what’s popular right now.
Rihanna is basically just another pop singer on the radio pandering to what’s popular at the moment and having hits because of it. She’s totally interchangeable with Ke$ha, Katy, LMFAO, etc., etc. She’s not a powerhouse. She’s not a brand. Let’s be real, the b**** is not even a star. She’s just a pop singer.
That’s true. I’m the last person to stan for Bey, but not matter how you try to slice and dice it, Rihanna is not on Bey’s level in any shape, form, or fashion. Beyonce gets compared (although unfairly) to Michael Jackson and other greats like Tina Turner and Diana Ross. Who does Rihanna get compared to – Barney or Ernie and Bert?
time will tell Beyonce starts her comback at the end of may let see if bey still has the starpower to compete with rihanna who is by the way is 6 years younger than beyonce is
Beyonce is considered an Icon and legend in the making. She is no longer a “pop star.” She has surpassed that stage. It seems like no matter how hard Rihanna works, I don’t see her ever getting to the level Beyonce has reached. Maybe Lady gaga will considering how she has totally slayed the industry and even put Bey out of business (well not really), but she’s the only one I can see as Bey’s rival in terms of worldwide popularity and influence. I will give Bey the edge on talent, though.
@HERE AM I, If you were a record label , would you rather have your artist get #1 album or selling over 3 million platinum world wide and singles selling over platinum. Which one would you prefer. I think Beyonce, would rather make that money and top the charts and receive awards, than to just have a #1 album.
@DMWN Writing a essay about Beyonce achievements, did not help her last year? Maybe all those legend need to reach out to the fans and tell them to buy her album and singles. Beyonce has to compete now, her name sold that album last year, but she has do more now to get back to Rihanna status and Katy Perry, Lady Gaga.
@ ZANIA —— IF I WAS A RECORD LABEL I WOULD RATHER MY ARTIST MAKE ALMOST 90 MILLION FROM JUST 1 TOUR,…
AND FOR THE RECORD ONCE AGAIN BEYONCE HAS BEEN SELLING MILLIONS SINCE 1997……………………………………………………………………………2012 WITH JUST 4 ALBUMS AND WITH MUSIC AND SINGLES THAT SHE HAS BROKEN RECORDS FOR?
SO GIRL LIKE I SAID IT TAKES MORE THEN RED HAIR OR HALF SHAVEN HEAD, OF MAKING MUSIC ABOUT SUCKING COCKINESS TO BE ABLE TO BE IN A LANE WITH ANY NAME THAT STARTS WITH THE LETTER B……..
NOW ONCE AGAIN (ALBUM CHARTS MUST?????)
First of all let me just say that picture of Beyonce is photo shopped and that’s a picture off a cover of a cover magazine she did now to answer the question stop comparing those women to each other I like them both but i am team beehive i love Beyonce and the passion and dedication she puts into her music and shows but riri is amazing to know and they both are good artist
@ ZANIA ——————– DIDNT GAGA FLEE THE U.S.A BECAUSE HER LAST SALES…… ISNT THAT WHY SHE ISNT GIVING THE U.S A TOUR???????????
When did adele outsell michael jackson? Must be talking about her outselling thriller in the uk but in terms of worldwide sales HAVE A SEAT. Beyonce is a good performer but rihanna is much more interesting to watch she doesn’t keep up the same stale image and her music is a lot better ….Rihanna is that chick.
@ DEZI ————— WHAT INTERESTING ABOUT HER?
@ Here I am, you are so right Beyonce is in a lane all by herself, at the bottom of the charts and sales currently , not 10 years ago.
There’s nothing interesting about Rihanna. Other than her ugly, cow-like voice. If bad singing is interesting, then there you go. But in all actuality, she’s terrible. She can’t do anything. She can’t sing. She can’t dance. She can’t perform. What’s her talent?
@ ZANIA ————— AT THE END OF THE DAY…………. RIHANNA WILL NEVER ACCOMPLISH HALF OF WHAT BEYONCE HAS….
@ JASUN ————– RIGHT ON
Beyonce has to compete now, just like Madonna has to compete and she is an ICON. It doesn’t matter what they did 10 to 20 years ago. This is the generation of digital downloads and dance music, and pop music. Beyonce has to go back to the table and figure it out, to be able to be considered as the top females of 2012. Adele, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, all top female artist for 2012.

lmfao!!!!!!!!
@ ZANIA ——————— GIRL COMPETE????????????? B**** WITH HER STATUS
THEY COMPETEING WITH EACHOTHER TRYNA REACH HER LEVEL WHY YOU THINK RIHANNA KEEPS DROPPING ALBUMS EVERY YEAR PRAYING FOR A NUMBER 1?
GIRL STOP PLAYING WITH YOURSELF
first of all their vocal ranges are not that far apart as yes bey can hit some high notes that riri can never dream of touching, riri can go lower then bey can ever dream of also
sales wise riri has sold more albums and singles since 2005 then any other artist and yes it myt be 6-4 but they have sold more or less the same amount of albums, compare how short of a time riri did that in and that is impressive either way
right this very moment riri’s stock has never been higher and is higher then most b****** in the industry except adele.
and i guarantee you if this two b****** do release albums on the same day, bey will reach 1mil in the usa faster but both albums will die with the same total, and world wide rihanna will reach 2mil faster and end with atleast a total bigger than bey’s by 1 mil. plus she will have the added single sale advantage
and please since 2006 rihanna has remained in the top 3 of the biggest female artists of that year, no matter whoever came out that year, bey hasnt been in the top 3 since 2009
Um, no…Beyonce doesn’t have to dumb herself, her music or her public persona down by acting a fool on social networks or collaborating with guys who beat her up in order to be “interesting” or to appeal to the Twitter generation. Maybe Rihanna fans can appreciate that kind of vapidness, but it’s not what Beyonce fans want from her. You all buy into and appreciate ridiculous antics/gimmicks designed to cover up Rihanna’s lack of overall talent. Beyonce’s gimmick is her talent. 20 years from now Beyonce will still have her talent. What’s Rihanna gonna be doing 20 years from now? Still changing her hairstyles every 6 months and showing out online? Please. Not interested.
No….if anybody I will say lady Gaga but not Riri
Well, if Rihanna doesn’t have talent, who does???? She’s slaying all of the other black chicks and white chicks as well! Although I’m fans of both, everyone doesn’t prefer Bey’s voice. Actually, Beyonce and Kelly use to sound alike and a lot of the peers prefer Kell’s voice and that’s why she’s featured more than Bey. As for peers goes, who needs they’re respect! Ri sure doens’t because they don’t pay her bills! How many of you would stop working and making money because your peers didn’t respect your work? Who misses out on their money because of others! Only broke peope think like that! While ya’ll putting Ri down, she still has milions and will go down in history, so keep hating!!!!!!!!!!
Another thing, look at how long it took Bey vs Ri?? Don’t get mad cause Ri just has that it factor. Some of us have it and some don’t! Everyone in life won’t have the same blessings.
Wtf DNt even mention the Queen name with dat s*** in the same sentence.She better enjoy her little relevancy while the Queen taking care her personal business
@ TOOFLY06 ———– FIRST OF ALL ALL ITS “MILLIONS’ NOT MILIONS “STUPID” AND RIHANNA ISN’T THE ONLY GIRLS WITH MILLIONS.
SHE CAN HAVE 200 MORE #1 SINGLES AND BEYONCE BANK ACCOUNT WILL STILL OUT WEIGHT HERS….
GIRL GO PLAY BINGO
dont flatter yourself
bey’s gimmick is her wigs
and before that her hips
and now her baby
Competition? LMFAO! Only rihtards to think of such delusional idea. R****** is competing against Katy Perry at best. Both have ‘numbers’ obsession,do tricks to (falsely) get #1 hits, spend more time tweeting her accomplishments than practicing with a vocal coach.
Rihtards keep saying that 4 is a flop and Beyoncé can’t have a #1 hit. But when was the last time R****** had a #1 hit without a generic europop trash? Like 2 years ago? LMFAO! Where’s You Da Flop, Birthday Flop and Talk That Flop? I don’t see them anywhere. I’m surprised that YD1 flopped, it is merely a pop-R&B track influnced to dubstep.
@blue
“and please since 2006 rihanna has remained in the top 3 of the biggest female artists of that year, no matter whoever came out that year, bey hasnt been in the top 3 since 2009”
How one of three hottest female artists since 2006 don’t have a single top 10 hit at tihs moment? LOL. BYE!

May 5, 2012 at 5:55 pm
All four of Beyonce’s solo albums topped the charts. All six of Rihanna’s albums didn’t. And don’t give me that “holiday competition” excuse…if Rihanna were the “star” her idiot fans think she is, then she should be able to beat her competitors for the top spot. That she is unable to says more than you fools have the balls to admit.
All of Beyonce’s #1 singles have been HER songs. A handful of Rihanna’s are actually other peoples songs, where she just played hook singer on. Sorry, but “Love The Way You Lie” and “Live Your Life” aren’t Rihanna songs.
Beyonce is worth over $300 million – herself…add Jay-Z’s money to hers and her house is worth nearly a billion. Rihanna doesn’t even have $100 million.
Beyonce has 16 Grammy’s, which is the 3rd most for a female, and she’s just one award away from being in the all time top 10…I don’t even know how many Rihanna has, but I bet it ain’t half as B’s number.
Beyonce’s highest grossing tour earned over $100 million. Rihanna’s highest grossing earned under $100 million.
Beyonce has acted in 4 films that topped the weekend box office…one of which (her most recent) she had above the title credit. Now she’s doing a movie with Clint Eastwood and Leonardo DiCaprio. Compare that to Rihanna’s silly Battleship movie that she isn’t even the star of, and the studio is nervous about releasing Stateside.
Beyonce has iconic/legendary celebrities and public figures like Oprah, Barbra Striesand, Stevie Wonder, Prince, Michelle Obama, Clint Eastwood, etc., etc. singing her praises and constantly reaching out to her. What legends endorse Rihanna?
I think it’s obvious who the bigger star is. I don’t know who Beyonce’s competition is, but it ain’t Rihanna.
If Rihanna’s chart statistics seem better now, it’s because this b**** releases a new album every year. Hell, she’s rumored to working on another album. They don’t have faith in her or her audience to have her take a break, because they know that if she does the public will very easily move on. Beyonce releases a new album every 2-3 years, and still causes more hysteria than Rihanna does. Why? Because Beyonce is a real star, with a real following and can afford to take her time. She can also afford to go against the grain and do what she wants to do (like release an R&B album in an all pop climate). Rihanna can’t. She HAS to play the game.

10000000000000000% co-sign …this is so true without being shady towards rihanna it is what it is .
@gilberto really have you checked itunes recently?
where have you been charging up that chart and will be top ten in 2/3 weeks
how long ago did rihanna last have a song in the top ten? gaga? bey?
2 months, 6 months, 2 years
If Beyoncé thinks R****** is competition, then Queen Bee completly disregards her. She released two non-friendly-radio songs (RTW and Countdown), 4 is the opposite of what pop radios have been demanding, she drops low budget music videos. In other hands, R****** works with the hottest DJs and producers of the moment, drops the most generic euro-pop-dance-trash songs only to appeal radios and basic people, jumps on any artist’s track, do a bunch of tricks to get her accomplishments, spend the day promoting her stuff on Twitter, releases high budget music videos. R****** works her ass off to do half of Beyoncé does, and Queen Bee doesn’t even try that hard. DEAD. R****** see Beyoncé as competition, but Bee sees R****** as just one of her maids.
Do I have to say that Rihtad work for Jay-Z (aka Beyoncé’s husband)? LMFAO!
Nonetheless, how is Battleshit doing?
I see TGJ got what they wanted hits while other artist post barly get past 50 comments smh
Yup beyonce & Rihanna is paying ya bills putting food on the table for ya thirsty asses
It’s a damn shame how ya do this dumb s***
Ya better be sending them two a thank you letter or bake them a f****** cake
@blue
“really have you checked itunes recently?”
Yes, but I haven’t looked on the bottom of iTunes.
how long ago did rihanna last have a song in the top ten? gaga? bey?
2 months, 6 months, 2 years
Beyoncé was the only one that didn’t release a generic euro-pop-cheap-ass song. DEAL. 4 sold as much as Talk That Flop without a single top 10 hit. LOL.
Nonetheless, how is Battleshit doing?
YES. Beyonce doesnt know when or how to promote a single she could have had 5 top tens off 4 if she released them properly and with the right promotion
End Of Time Should’ve been the lead single instead of RTW would have gone straight to #1 with all that promotion.
Love On Top should have been the 2nd single released after the VMAs would have been a top 10 if the video was released and the single for radio stations the day after
I Was Here should have been the 3rd released as a 10th anniversary charity single for 9/11. would have been a top 10 if it was a charity single and sung at the ceremony which was televised WW
Schoolin’ Life Should have been released as her Im On A Break and still relevant single….would have made the top 20
she then should have taken a break until february and released Run The World as her comeback single, with the right promotion and handling it could have been a top 10 single in march 2012 if she performed on Idol.
then Best Thing I Never Had should have been released June she should have performed at The Voice Final. would have EASILY been a top 10.
THE GURL DONT KNOW HOW TO PROMOTE LIKE RIHANNA.
Where have you been has been exercised to the POINT.
the Video is on POINT
the single is CATCHY
she will promote it.
Beyonce needs to get her act togetehr im a staaan and she has handled this 4 era sooo badly im angry when it could have done soooooooooo much better shes sold 140 million records (with dc + solo) FFS and shes sold what less than 5 mil off 4 inc singles and album sales….damn right embarrassing.
SORT IT OUT B otherwise people will have no choice but to join the navy or the monsters where they’re queens know how to snatch wigs
lol at this pressed h***
rihanna is credited with 11 numbers ones and only 2 of those are collabos
meaning the other 9 are all solos b****** still 3 more than beys 6 number 1 total
how do you know how much either of chicks have in their bank accounts? say forbes and i will laugh in ur face!
@gilberto both ud and ttt were top singles and considering that, that is all bey can achieve this days those arent flops
birthday cake without a release is currently still top on itunes, top on bbhot 100 and number 2 with a possibility of going to number 1 on the r&b chart, mind you this is the song that was suppose to be the end of her
@gilberto
honey even riri’s non generic stuff outsells bey generic stuff and how is run this world not generic?
battleship is breaking records ww baby check the stats and will do handsomely.
at the bottom is were bey is not even at baby, and you wont find riri looking there seeing as she is at the top
and ttt is selling as much as 4 in the usa and already surpassed it ww with 20 times less the promotion
@aynon
you are soo right which is somethng that infuriates me, schoolin life is my jam
that song alone could have saved 4
1. RIHANNA IS ONLY BIG WHEN IT COMES TO SINGLES…
SHE’S NOT A BIG ALBUM SELLER…
SO NO, SHE’S NOT BEYONCE’S RIVAL…
RIHANNA IS LADY GAGA’S RIVAL…
BOTH HAVE THE SAME AMOUNT OF ALBUM SALES IN THE U.S…
AROUND THE SAME SINGLE SALES…
AND GAGA HAS MORE ALBUM SALES WITH 2.5 ALBUMS ALONE…
BUT RIHANNA HAS MORE NUMBER 1’S… WITH 6 ALBUMS…
SO THEY BOTH ARE RIVALS…
@DMWN
STANDING OVATION
Rihanna is a 11 time one hit wonder
The only way to make her seems like something bigger than that is to put her against greatness.
How the hell is the BAJANSHIP doing ?? 😈
@aynon
I completly agree with you. 4 is kinda embarassing for Beyoncé’s standard. I think the problem with 4 is that it doesn’t appeal the current mood of pop music. Beyoncé is a multi-formated artists and she should’ve appealed both of her fan base not only the R&B one. Just see Usher, Chris Brown and Rihanna, they all have their urban jams, but they also have some dance songs to appeal pop radios in their hands. Just see how Def Jam is releasing Where You Have Been after all Rihanna’s urban singles failed to hit top 10… It will give TTT another life for sure. And to top it off, Run The World and Countdown aren’t radio-friendly songs, these songs are great, but they aren’t worth as a single, even urban radios ignored them. I thought that she learned this after Ring The Alarm, but she didn’t. I hope these two exemples will be enough to realize that these kind of song will never work on radios.
I can’t believe that she ignored End Of Time, I Miss You, Start Over, Schoolin’ Life and I Was Here. I can’t. At least, she was wise enough to see the potention of Party, Best Thing and Love On Top, they saved this era. I’m also tired of these low budget videos.
But I think she learned with her mistakes and is changing, she’s already interacting with social network (see tumblr and twitter) and I bet her new album will have a bigger commercial appeal.
3 WORDS:
BEYONCE- ENTERTAINER =REAL SINGER
RIHANNA – STUDIO ARTIST= COMPUTER SINGER
I REST MY CASE!!!!
rihanna has sold the same amount of albums as beyonce ww #fact
and has an average of 4.3 mil per album sold.
and an average of 4.3 mil sold a year
The fact that RIhanna had a #1 single while her album was released, during the busiest and most important shopping week of the year, and it STILL didn’t top the charts (or break 200k) just goes to show that she isn’t Beyonce’s competition. Beyonce released her album during the summer — when fewer people were shopping — and didn’t have a monster single on her hands…and it STILL topped the charts, opening with a larger # and had a longer/steadier stay in the top 10.
4’s sales are comparable to what the average ‘hit’ album (with multiple hit singles) does these days. The general listening public may not have been gung ho about Beyonce’s latest music — but Beyonce’s fans had her back, and as a result her album STILL did business. That, dear friends, is GAME.
On the other hand, TTT features Rihanna’s biggest hit, and yet it’s one of her poorest performing albums. Because it featured WFL, TTT should have not only topped the charts…and stayed there…but the followup singles should have done well just on the strength of the first single, but none of that happened. Something is WRONG with this picture. I’d be willing to bet that Beyonce and Columbia made more money from 4 than Rihanna and Def Jam made from TTT.
The whole point of singles is to SELL THE ALBUM they’re cut from. If your album can sell to the industries standards without the presence of a hit single, then frankly you don’t need one. No one makes any money from single sales, except for the songwriter and producer — and since Rihanna neither writes or produces her own s***, it’s safe to say that her chart “success” is a hollow victory; one that she doesn’t even profit from herself.
The bottom line is that, unlike Beyonce (whose latest album proves that she has a ton of ‘good faith’ fans), the public doesn’t trust Rihanna’s albums to be worth the $10. They mainly check for the singles and only casually pick up the album when/if they remember to and only when/if it’s convenient.
Don’t act like Rihanna has some rabid fan base, because she doesn’t. Her fan base talks big s*** but is actually lazy as hell. If they can’t do something from their computer for damn near free, they don’t do it. Beyonce’s fans actually get their asses up and drive to the record store to cop her whole album. Rihanna fans just get on Twitter and TGJ to talk s***.
@jeesica
u do realise that as great a vocalist is she can never really hit the difficult notes that she does on her cds, live right. same with every artists but adele and leona lewis
Yall embarrassed rihanna with the video proof…Album sales she cant compete with B, singles sales she in competition with the girls, staying at #1 for months at time with a single on any chart she cant compete with B. When Love on Top went #1 it stayed there for damn near 2 1/2 months. Beyonce is more popular than her, more respected, and look at the huge difference in those videos. Rihanna fans are on social networking sites only, whereas my Mom, Dad, Grandparents are huge B fans but dont participate in online activities. Thats why B reigns supreme…..oh yeah navy yall aint been to a concert like B’s have you? LOL SHAME
Sam is clearly bored. TGJ, your time is up.
@blue
Actually, do you know the meaning of ‘generic’? Because only retarded people would call Run The World generic. Could you tell me one song that sounded like RTW and it was released around the same time? Oh! I’ll answer this: YOU CAN’T. That’s why RTW isn’t generic. But I can say at least 10 songs that sounded like WFL
and I can say at least 20 singers that could’ve sung it.
Battleshit is breaking records!? Where? In Barbados? Because in the rest of the world, people are just talking about Avengers. Speaking of it, in one single week, it already grossed two times more than the Transformers rip-off (aka Battleshit) in 3 weeks. I can’t. They’re even afraid of releasing it Stateside, it was postponed several times.
@ L21480 ——– I KNOW THAT RIGHT COME ON IN…….
@blue
“rihanna has sold the same amount of albums as beyonce ww #fact”
Good! Beyoncé did with 4 albums what R****** barely did with 6. Now it’s time to have one of most successful girl groups, get tons of Grammys and have iconic performances, then we can call R****** a competition.
@L21480
I’m hearing rihtards crying after reading your post. Wig snatched CHECK.
New York Times’ headline tomorrow: “S****** Rate Increase: rihtards can’t accept the truth.”
@L21480
If Beyonce fans “actually get their asses up and drive to the record store to cop her whole album” what happened to 4? LOL. Its been out a year and Rihanna has already matched it in sales. Keep using that tired excuse that she did an “r&b” album and not euro pop all you want. You say TTT had a smash hit and should have stayed at the top of the charts maybe so but 4 had massive promo and she still flopped. Talk about that Rihanna barely promoted
I wish people would stop commenting on this post now. I’m pretty sure TGJ is full now they just got a nice dish of 135 comments smh.
This site will be going down hill sooner then later you can’t always think that beyonce & rihanna are gonna keep you relevant.
Necole bitchie got ya beat anyway
TGJ ya time is almost up
@ JOSE UMMMMM BOO BOO TTT SOLD 197K SINCE ITS RELEASE DAY
4 SOLD 310K ITS FIRST WEEK….
B**** YOU BETTER GOOGLE BEYONCE
@ MIKE ——– LOL
RIHANNA TTT : With sales barely exceeding 197K copies, ‘Talk That Talk’ actually sold 10K copies less than Rihanna’s previous album, ‘Loud’. So what exactly is the reason for the slow start of the record? Well, while there may have been many possible causes, the main reason for the slow chart start lies with Rihanna’s US fans themselves.
BEYONCE 4 : In the United States, the album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, selling 310,000 copies in its first week. It also became a number-one chart hit in several other countries.
THATS A LIL COPY AND PAST FROM GOOGLE.
SO WHO WAS IT THAT SAID RIH-TARD OUT SOLD HER LAST ALBUM WITH EVERY NEW ONE SHE RELEASED…
SOMEBODY LIED…. SMH
@giberto and rihanna has managed to sell in 6 years what took bey how long 6 years wht took bey 9,
bey puts more into promotion, rihanna only really promoted gggb hardcore
bey’s eras last longer than a year usually 2 years, rihanna only had gggb last that long
they even out me dear
A LITTLE MORE COPY AND PASTE FROM GOOGLE FOR YOU RIHANNA FANS :
Regardless of how well her songs perform on iTunes and radio, Rihanna’s fans are generally not interested in buying complete albums. Reflecting on the trend of her past sales confirms this point as her top-selling release – 2007′s ‘Good Girl Gone Bad’ – has sold only 2.7 million copies in the US to date and none of her other albums have surpassed the 2 million mark.
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW : (
@ BLUE ————— IT TAKES BEY 2 YEARS TO COME BACK CUSS B**** SHE TOURS FOR DAMN OVER A YEAR MAKING MILLIONS + MILLIONS
BEYONCE COULD BUY RIHANNA AND GIVE HER AWAY IF SHE FELT LIKE IT
STUPID!!!!!!
@rihanna has a rate of 4.3 million copies sold per album, bey has 6.3million
rihanna has a rate of 4.3 million copies sold each year, bey has 2.8 million
evens out, add the amount of single sales and rihanna is leading
@ BLUE —– GIRL LIES AND D*** TALES……..
I would say sales on a sales/popularity level rihanna IS beyonce’s biggest competition in the rap community. For some reason people flock to rihanna. But without a doubt Beyonce crushes rihanna on a talent scale. In my eyes the only black female woman that could ever compare to beyonce onstage is ciara, but even then beyonce still has those vocals.
@ AN0THRNIGHT —– CIARA WHO?????????? MIST????
rihanna’s last tour did as much as beys last and b**** did it all under a year.
dont tell me non of that
@ BLUE ——– B**** IMA GIVE YOU ALL OF THIS
AND B**** A LIE LOUD TOUR MADE 90 MILLION,
AND BEYONCE I AM TOUR GROSSED 103 MILLION AND LETS NOT EVEN TALK ABOUT BEYONCE LIVE AT ROSELAND 3 NIGHTS, WITH 1 WHOLE NIGHT SELLING OUT IN 20 SECONDS…
B**** I GOT A LOT TO GIVE IF YOU FEEL YOU GOT A LOT TO SAY
@JOSE…
4 sold over a million copies, went platinum, and performed on par with the average sales of what’s considered a ‘hit’ album these days…that’s “what happened” to it.
Far as promo goes, Beyonce basically stopped promoting 4 after the VMA’s. Rihanna is all over Twitter reminding her what, 10 million followers (?) to buy the album. Have 10 million people bought it? Is Beyonce on Twitter begging her fans to watch her new music video the same way Rihanna is asking people to watch hers? And nothing Beyonce did was as big as Rihanna teaming up with the guy who kicked her ass, not once but twice in the same moment. GTFOH.
I didn’t say anything about R&B vs. Euro, but since you brought it up…yeah…I would *love* to see Rihanna’s ass attempt to challenge the commercial music world with something atypical…but that’ll never happen, because not only is she too much of a tool to do it.
Do you know how easy it would have been for Beyonce to call up Calvin Harris, Dr. Luke, RedOne or David Guetta for her some idiotic, turn-your-brain-off euro dance b******* ala “We Found Love?” They all would have jumped to work with her too, I bet. And since it doesn’t take talent or personality to push that junk to the top of the charts these days, I’m sure she could have easily scored more hits that way. Maybe it just wasn’t worth it to her. Maybe she knows euro/electro-pop is crap and didn’t wanna be burdened having to perform the kind of God awful music Rihanna makes in order to appeal to dumbass 12 year olds like yourself? Hmmm.

L21480 —– SPEAK THAT TRUTH
Question:Is Rihanna Beyonce’s Biggest Competition? NOT Is Rihanna more talented than Beyonce? Most are answering the later.
O.K, the answer for the question asked is NO. Why? Rihanna and Beyonce were direct competition from 2006 to 2009. They are no longer competition. U need to understand what the word competition means. To be honest bey hasn’t been competing since 2009, a bitter fact the beyhive will find it difficult to come to terms with. In every competition, there is a winner and competitions are events, and events have time frames. If we capture the period from 2011-2012, Rihanna is streets ahead of Beyonce. 4 scored no.1 while TTT peaked at no.3(correct me). However world wide and overal sales favoured TTT despite it being 6months ‘younger’. On the singles front, it would be foolish to compare. All bey’s singles have vids except for EOT, on the other hand, Rihanna’s 3 singles have vids and of those, 2 charted higher than all of singles from 4. BC was never given a proper release.
In conclusion, Bey had her time and she will always be a better live performer and singer than rihanna but at the moment rihanna is competition to Gaga and katy. Bey is almost a legend now and i think she is no longer making music to compete with anyone. The race is now for the new and younger acts. If she tried, i am sorry she wouldn’t win. I would advise her to rather preserve her legendary status than try to compete with these young girls, it won’t be good for her. #Bey is no longer in the competition#
wow and the difference between 90 mil and 103 mil is so big? please it just means be had ten more dates then rihanna, are u saying bey takes a year to do ten dates, plus the loud tour actually did do over 100mil if u check after the 90mil stats were released about a month later other tour stats were released on rihanna’s remaining days

Beyonce put herself in check with 4.
I am Beyonce stan and because I’m so in love with Beyonce my whole family hates her. They used to hide my Beyonce cd’s and dvds because they knew i would play them loud all day everyday.
This is the first time in 8 years that I’ve seen people in my family listening to Beyonce or dancing to it or watching the music videos. Even my old ass mom is singing party by Beyonce.
Beyonce has taken herself back to real music excluding Run the World. I say give it a few more months and people are going to hop of this pop s*** and the talentless will be separated from the talent. Adele has brought real music back to the spotlight and with the return of greats like Brandy Monica and Mariah Carey. I’m sure Rihanna won’t stand a chance.
@ BLUE ——- GIRL THE DIFFERENCE IS 13 MORE MILLION….
AND I BEG YOUR PARDON???? 10 MORE DATES?????
I AM TOUR HAD 108 SHOWS ACROSS 32 CITIES AND 6 CONTINENTS
WHAT ARE YOU SAYING STUPID??

People tend to forget how versatile rihanna is. If the taste of the general public changed from pop to r n b/hiphop today, riri would give u something like Cheers, Whats my name, teamo, russian reoullete, umbrella rudeboy etc. That wouldn’t affect her much, people would still eat her stuff up.
THEY MIGHT EAT IT
THEY JUST DONT BUY IT LOL
hey stupid!!! read what u type
rihanna 97 shows = 90 mil
beyonce 108 shows = 103 shows

You just shot your own point down. RiRi has had more albums so she will sell more. Why are you so hateful to Beyoncé she is more talented. just because u sell more doesn’t mean your better. bey took a break she is married with child so she is more restricted. remember riri is managed by jay z who is married to whom? B wouldn’t want RiRi to flop would she. in fact riri works for B.

BeYAWNce stans can keep foaming at the mouth to say BeYAwnce has four #1 albums but you forget to mention that half of those are in bargain bins, used cd stores, clearence racks, and flea markets around the country. BIONCI releases albums when theres no competition. The only album that ever had any competition was I Am… Sucha Farce the other 3 were released weeks where she outsold the #2 album 3 times over. It’s all marketing, after all BeYAWNce is the biggest product on the market. And according to you BEY-sides, un4tunate didn’t have ANY singles released at all. If a BeYAWNce single 4lops.. suddenly it wasnever a single. Even if it hasa video, she performed it, was released to iTunes, and was sent to radio. Apparently un4tunate didn’t have any singles because they all flopped. I guess they were all promos, or street singles, or buzz singles. Puleaze. And keep bullshitting how 4lop sold a million copies. So what! It took 7 singles and half a year before it barely sold a million copies. OH but suddenly it doesnt’ matter how many copies it sold because it was a “deep” and “risky” album .GORL BYE. Who shoots a dozen videos and releases 7 singles, overseas promotion, interviews, magazines, TV spots… but oh they didn’t want it to sell. You BeYAWNce stans are mentally ill. Have a 5th and 6th helping of crow this era. First Run the World was gonna debut at #1. FLOP. Then 4closed was gonna sell a million copies first week like Gaga. FLOP. Then “1+1” was gonna debut Top 10 like Gaga. FLOP. Then “Best Thing I Never Had” was gonna be like Irreplaceable. FLOP. Then Countdown was gonna snatch everyones wigs. FLOP. Then Un4tunate was gonna sell 2 million by the end of the year. FLOP. Then Party was gonna smash. FLOP. Then 4lop was gonna win a bunch of Grammys. FLOP. Then Love on Top was gonna smash. FLOP. It’s been one excuse after another. The truth is one Papa Knowles wasn’t there signing the payola checks, bribing the industry, rigging the Grammys. BeYAWNce the product was a big fat flop. Once BeYAWNce had to come out against Lady Gaga, P!nk, Ke$ha, Britney, Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, and Adele she couldn’t smash. When there’s competition BeYAWNce is lost in the crowd and nobody is checking for her even with more promotion that any chick in the game. PATHETIC.
@ BLUE SHE MADE 103 MILLION
IT WAS 108 SHOWS

@Jer u said it all comments on this post can be turned off now.
Did JER’s dumbass expect anyone to read that run-on mess of words? Why am I not surprised that a R****** fan would be too stupid to understand the significance of paragraphs? Rihanna is an idiot, so I guess it makes sense that her fans would be too. LOL
Anyway…
Beyonce is prettier.
Beyonce is more talented.
Beyonce is a better singer/dancer/performer/actress.
Beyonce is wealthier.
Beyonce is more respected by her peers, as well as by those came before her and after her.
Beyonce is more successful.
Beyonce is more powerful.
Beyonce is more awarded.
Beyonce has a normal sized forehead.
Beyonce has never got her ass beat by a boy that sounds like he’s 13.
Hell, Rihtalentless herself has admitted that she looks up to Beyonce and asks her for advice.
Pretty open and shut. Beyonce is better.
@ MEH ———— AT THE END OF THE DAY BEYONCE IS WORTH MORE THEN 300 MILLION ….
CAN YOU B****** SAY THE SAY THE SAME ABOUT RIHANNA…..
B**** BEYONCE CAN STOP DOING MUSIC RIGHT NOW AND RIHANNA STILL COULDN’T CATCH UP TO HER……
TELL RIHANNA TO KEEP HAVE NUMBER 1 SINGLES AND MAYBE BY ALBUM 13 SHE CAN FINALLY GET THAT 1 NUMBER 1 ALBUM ALL OF HER SO CALL FANS ARE SAYING SHE IS GONNA GET….
WISHFUL THINKING (EYES CLOSED TIGHTLY & FINGERS CROSSED)
@ ALCOVE ——- LOL AT THE FOREHEAD
@blue
Let’s do some basic math.
Profit / Shows = average profit of each concert
90 x 10^6/97 = 927.835 per concert
103 x 10^6/108 = 953.704 per concert
These numbers don’t lie. What’s your next excuse? Oh! I forgot to say that R****** had famous musicians openning her tour, people like Cee Lo Green, J. Cole, B.o.B and Calvin Harris. In other hands, Beyoncé gave a chance to unknown artists like Solange, RichGirl, Shontelle. Beyoncé released a global successful dvd from her tour, R******’s Loud dvd has never seen the light. R****** sold several tickets for $5 on Groupon (just google it). See? I’m done with you.
@ ALCOVE
“Beyonce has a normal sized forehead.”
I’m speechless. LMFAO.

Rihanna is doing her thing for now.
But navy Beyonce is an spotlight hog.
She has something up her sleeves mark my words.

WELL GIRLS MY SHIFT IS ALMOST OVER AND IM ABOUT TO GO HOME NOW….
IT WAS FUN AND BEYONCE YOUR STILL ON TOP,,,, F*** RIHANNA LOL
NIGHT NIGHT LADIES
rihanna is a s*** bad b!!tch, cant hate on that but she lacks on talent, there is no way that rihanna’s will be on beyonce level, beyonce’s have a natural talent and is a real business woman and entertainer rihanna in the other hands is a brand with a great team that knows how to pull the rights songs to make hits. rihanna’s perform on saturday night live was painful, she cant sing, or dance. smh
LET ME END THIS HERE NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE GRAPE JUICE LOVE TOO SEE THE BEYHIVE

HELL NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! IN NO WAY

HA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
And with the deck double stacked aganist her RIHANNA has still
even with the bee hive trying to belittle rihanna and call her every
nasety name in the book and how they still fill that beyonce is their
GOD, through all of that RIHANNA is compared to beyonce more
than any other artist in the world and around the globe for that matter.
And even with beyonce being in the industry for twice longer than beyonce
and having formal training and charm school and some money more than
RIHANNA ever had to work with since her pops had a good job and her mom
a beauty scholl beyonce came out the barn gate running full steam ahead
of RIHANNA and the last three or four years RIHANNA has pulled up next to beyonce and BY PASSED her by miles and miles and that is what kills the bey
hive members because, since RIHANNA voice has a accent they tries to say that
rihanna is different because her vocals do not sound like beyonce’s or others in the industry. These backward narrowed minded folk can not deal with the FACT….than RIHANNA has staked her claim and she is not backing down from or for beyonce ‘as ass or nobody else. Many hate RIHANNA because she is different and come from a very different cut of wood then your average artist. Beyonce has achieved a lot and did really great in her career and theres no deyning her that, and i will give it to her her accomplishments or many, but…… considering RIHANNA’S time in the industry and what she has accomplished has far exceeded beyonce in her time frame of the same number of years as RIHANNA. Take rihanna years and take 6 years of beyonce’s career and rihanna has done far more than beyonce has. Go on ADD THEN UP RIHANNA HATERS AND BEE HIVE……
Ciara slays them both IMO
Have you heard about the siren, Teni? Her single “Afrodisiac” is fire! She’s the new Sade! Listen and download her music at http://soundcloud.com/teni/afrodisiac and follow her on twitter http://twitter.com/teniofficial and on facebook http;//facebook.com/tenimusic.
listen to Afrodisiac by Teni! She’s the new Sade!
The question is are they rivals. Well to b rivals everything must match literally. Take Whitney, Mariah and Celine. They are true examples are rivals. They had powerful vocals, stage presence and were breaking records and topping the charts n the 90s. Rihanna fans just need to accept the fact, that she isnt Beyonce rival. Hell to b honest, im not sure if Beyonce has a real true rival. The only thing Riri rival Beyonce n is the charts. Thats just called theyre chart rivals. Riri is leading Beyonce n singles not albums. WW Riri has sold over 25 million albums, with SIX ALBUMS BAC TO BAC. Beyonce has over 30 million albums with 4. In the US Riri has sold over 7 million with SIX BAC TO BAC. Beyonce has sold over 12 million WITH 4 Albums. Beyonce is still THE HBIC AND WILL REMAIN. @ Blue Sit Delusional H**! Beyonce dont need to compete. Riri havent sold with SIX, what Beyonce sold 4! Like i said, Riri is leading n the Single sales. … @ LT284 & @DWMN BOW DOWN TO U 2! U two Preached True Facts that DRAGGED THE HELL OUT GOATIANNA C**** LMAO
First Run the World was gonna debut at #1. FLOP. Then 4closed was gonna sell a million copies first week like Gaga. FLOP. Then “1+1″ was gonna debut Top 10 like Gaga. FLOP.

@ Rude Boy STFU C***. Beyonce is an Pop Icon something Adele, Katy, R****, and Kesha isnt. 4 is still pushing numbers and is sitting at 1.2 with flop singles. Something Kesha hasnt saw. Something Katy only did with 3 #1s. And something R**** wont do with TTT because its FLOPPING LMAO. And Britney. No comment LMFAO. What an EPIC FAILED U TYPED LMMFAO
Beyonce is performance wise on another level I don’t think even Justin or Usher could compete with her. Rihanna is a competition chart wise but not performance wise.
You know what is sad about this discussion? that they are the only TWO mainstream black female “artists”.
i will start to say that this site is shady as f*** to rihanna, but to me beyonce is a legend but a boring one, rihanna is more fresh and dseh has talent and i see her talent growing everyday, beyonce’s voice is common, rih’s voice is captivating and very interesting and plus she sells more than beyonce without a #1 album, so #1 album means nothing with loud riding on 7 and a half mill worldwide beyonce better step her p**** up before she fall off
LOUD SOLD 7.5 MILLIONS IN WHAT WORLD? NARNIA?
ahahaha dont make me laugh goat
Loud is old story,it’s TTT turn’s now.With all those ssingles she released,her numbers are more than dreadful:
-WFL
-YD1
-BC
-POC
-TC
-TTT
-WHYB
all released in 8 months,but she aint platinuim yet? not to count the fact that 2 singles used THE INCIDENT for controversies but failed,the other one used Drake’s drama or fake relationship she had with him.
This type of articles wont hide de fact that Nicki slayed her ass that’s why she is pressed and trying to come for her ass.Nicki,I know you saw what she did 😆
Rita is #1 in the UK itunes
Avengers is slaying Hunger games,so let alone BAJANSHIP.
Goatssie’s biggest rival right now are:
*************Bieber****************
*************Nicki******************
*************Rita-******************
************ and AVENGERS******
This new TGJ staff is trying it tho,so cute 🙂
LOL at the purposeful juxtaposition of those videos…nice touch 🙂
the only reason these women are seen as “competition” is because fans (and bloggers) are really messy these days. there’s no reason why both can’t be equally successful; it’s not like consumers only buy one album a year or anything, right? i love both beyonce and rihanna, for different reasons, and have all of both of their music. when i’m in the mood for something edgy and/or fun, i put in rihanna. when i’m in the mood for some funky, soulful, rich sounds, i go with beyonce. now if we break it all the way down, of course beyonce is far better and far more important to the industry. but rihanna definitely has her own lane and knows how to own it, and she fills an important role in the industry too (you always need a wild child to keep things interesting).
what’s going on is more a war of their fanbases, which are mostly made up of girls and women. girls and women are constantly comparing; we compare ourselves to others women, just like we compare all the female singers to each other. there’s this false notion out there that one woman’s success equals another’s failure, which sounds dumb but if you think about it, that’s how a lot of women act. we see each other as threats first, instead of friends first. there’s a lot of jealousy and insecurity, and it shows through how relationally aggressive girls and women are toward each other. this all plays out in these stan wars, it’s a very interesting psychological concept. we create this competition and strife in our minds to satisfy our thirst for drama, while beyonce and rihanna could easily be somewhere drinking together (remember this? around 1:08, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xv9rJxKta_4). they’re both fly, successful women who actually get along with each other. why can’t we let that be?
Meanings of rival. One of two or more striving to reach or obtain something that only one can obtain. Well seeing how Beyonce has allll the accalades and awards that.only legends recieve and also a Pop Icon with money, power and respect of the industry. Its clear Beyonce has that something Rihanna is trying to obtain. Meaning she isnt Beyonce rival! Lets break it down. Riri wants Beyonce money. And we all know she doesnt have it! For the last past 6 years Beyonce has appeared on forbes most powerful. Even n 09 she came n as the most powerful musician. Even last year, while on break she was named Billboard most powerful female musician coming at #13 and making more than Riri. Last but not least. Respect. Its not a day go by that a random celebrity praises Beyonce. But i hardly ever hear anybody praising Rihanna. Rihanna praises Beyonce herself. She wants what Beyonce has, so her rival is Katy, and a few others. Another example of rival is one that equals or almost equals another n a particular respect. Well we all know there is no way n hell Rihanna equals Beyonce n any type of fashion or respect! If Beyonce has a rival it would b legends and icons. Beyonce has already achieved something only one can obtain. Like Babyface and Lady Gaga said during her BB tribute, shes more than a popstar or Icon, she represents the the dream and shes already there. Riri wants that. Beyonce has it! So there is NO N HELL Rihanna is THE QUEEN’S rival! I bet The Greats like MJ and WHITNEY just rolled over n their graves over this foolery!
Rihanna could never sing live nor dance like Beyonce! No shade to Rihanna because she is great at selling singles and appealing to different genres. So chart-wise they are some what rivals, but Beyonce rivals are the greats like Alicia Keys,Gaga and Mariah Carey. Rihanna rivals are Katy Perry, & Britney. All women are great (in their own way)and that’s why they’re always discussed!
Honestly, the main issue is the fact that they are associated to the same man: JAY-Z. To me that’s the only reason they’ll always be connected to each other.
Now Rihanna is indeed hotter right now because she is younger, single and controversial. People like to see the dirt therefore Beyonce is “boring” entertainment-wise because she doesn’t use her private life for her carreer…
But on the long run, Beyonce will ALWAYS be held to another standard because she is a real singer. Her destiny is to be a black Barbra Streisand. Rihanna is gonna be some kind of Donna Summer (No offense to Mrs Donna though, she’s the bomb). Nobody talks about her but everybody knows her 3 or 4 best club songs.
Rihanna is on her peak this year. Whatever she will do this year will work for her (except that #1 album though) but next year she’ll be 25 and a new era of 15 year olds will be on the comeup. *Willow*
That’s the whole point of being hot, the next step is to go cold, no matter if you’re Rihanna or Beyonce. Nothing last forever.
15years in the industry she still hot as f*** beyonce s waaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy better than rihanna beyonce s a legend rihanna s a h**
The only chart Rihanna does anything on is billboard 100 when her fans only have to spend $1.29 or call into request a song on the radio because they are either too cheap to pay the $1.29 or don’t think she is worth it. Case and point ppl would buyt the $1.29 rude boy single but not a $.99 RR album. Beyonce’s fans go after the total package and pay the $10.00 for the entire CD hence the reason she has 4#1 albums and sold more with those 4 than Rihanna has with her 6.
@MISHKA
Of course it’s because of JAY-Z.I dont know why people always try to forget this part smh
HELL NO! All Rihanna has is #1’s, Beyonce doesn’t need to come out with an album every year to stay relevant and besides Bey’s more talented.
In my opinion there is no rival. beyonce is the best and thats it. rihanna is ok, she makes nice music to listen to from time to time and lets be honest who really buys rihannas music she is a ok artist and the reason she is really a big star is because of jay z, everyone knows that if she didnt have jayz behind her, it wouldnt be all aout rihanna, and beyonce has the whole package, shes classy she has a beautiful voice and she can dance her ass off. beyonce rivals are performers like janet jackson and madonna I feel that beyonce is on a whole other level then rihanna, rihanna rivals are kesha and katy perry
Jay-z is already pushing someone else,Rita is getting bigger faster than Nicki or Katy perry.
She is doing extremely well in the UK.JAY MADE THE H**.
IMA THE BIGGEST BEY FAN BUT NO RIHANNA IS NOT HER BIGGEST RIVAL, AT THIS POINT IDK EVEN IF GAGA IS I THINK ITS ADELE.
Beyoncé’s biggest rival, i think not. I think they are very fond of eachother, but as far as friendly competition goes and this silly hypothetical situation, Beyoncé knows the rules….she doesn’t fight a rival, she joins them on a record on their album: alicia keys, lady gaga, mary j blige, now brandy, etc etc etc. Plus how can they be rivals Rhianna puts money in Bey’s family bank account. If I were Beyoncé I’d let Rhianna shine and count the money slowly. Boss!
LOOOOOOL . for ME . beyonce has been here for years and everyone still know her. she is classy . rihanna is trashy . f*** wait WTF beyonce vs rihanna are you kidding me . F****** RIHANNA .loooooooool / this is dumb
Beyonce is star talent great REAL women . rihanna is so fake .
Beyonce kills her in everything with out trying . and if its JUST ABOUT 2011 – 2012 NOBODY F***** WITH ADELE loooooooooollllll
No pop star out today can ever be on Queen B’s level. She has got the voice, the looks, the stage presence, the dedication to her craft, and the list goes on and on. She’s one of a kind and I think EVERYONE knows and respects that about her.
Get Ready… It’s Time!!
