Well at least they were able to sell based on the "prestige" of their names alone for a pretty long time, something your favorite Rihanna could never do (hell she struggles with all the promo in the world, when she was younger and now too). I doubt Beyonce will flop harder than Rihanna anytime soon despite the non exitant promo for all her last albums like you say. She keeps on selling more despite no promo vs Rihanna and her hits and promo at the present actually :) Truth is all of them were true album sellers at one point of their careers at least :)
