Well the problem is most people are 99% followers. What ever they see they follow. This is the same formula that worked with Beatles, Britney Spears, any damn boy band.

Rihanna and Beyonce are heavily promoted in media, and other sources and there for their success is in favor of them. Most people just partake in Rihanna because she the popular girl. If you asked them what is there favorite performance or what do they love of Rihanna most people draw blank.

So ask your elf why are other black legends that clearly are putting out better albums and perform better then Rihanna aren't getting on the charts. Im pretty sure you will say she more popular or people like her more.
