Congrats to all all of them but we all know streams don’t bring in anything so eh
Stream don’t bring in anything? Well explain to me what bring in things sis? Cuz last time I check facts, streaming was the #1 source of music revenue.
streaming brings in money. The question is who gets the money? The label get most of it. The difference Is Rihanna has her own label plus she owns the masters to all her songs she did with Def Jam. So she’s getting a whole lot of fun money.
Exactly she is making her money and it’s making them sick
Queening with no album out! The general public is just infatuated with her !
Music, fashion , makeup, film !! this girl is every where dominating!
Rihanna has the best catalog of her peers. not surprising.
Agreed. She’s been making superb quality music since the beginning. Quality written songs that are well produced. Even her trap and club songs are better written than these girls ballads.
ESTER DEAN writes her music she sings it off keyly IMO..✌??
DanYiel Iman and what’s your point? Every single artist in history have/had writers. In fact, some of these girls have the exact same producers and song writers as rihanna and their music still can’t compare. #byebish
Elvis,whitney and Frank Sinatra never wrote a song. Are they less of an artist?
@xedos
Theyre wayyy better vocalist/performers than Frih
She also made billboards top 10 most successful artist of all time list. (Not sure of the exact title) but y’all never post these things because your fav was too far down the list.
But y’all was quick to post Forbes list tho.
A lot of non talented singers are awarded foolish streaming services…??♂️
I would share the same sentiment if my fav was absent from the list.
Oh shut up Meme. Bey sells out stadiums still dear. Still has millions of fans. Good for Rihanna.
Go Rih, she has more music that her peers IMO. This decade Rih has 4 albums this decade; while also taking a 3 year break. That’s a lot of music for her fans to consume this decade. To break it down, Ari has 3 albums this decade and she should be running it up as newbie. Rih is also a lot less gay than her black peers, so men feel more comfortable listening to her.
Wtf are you actually saying? What makes her “less gay”? Because last time I checked many of her biggest fans are self-proclaimed queens.
never thought of it that way….but that’s actually very true of her music.
Where’s the Billboard hot 100 and 200 best female artist of all time list? We know Beyonka is below Rihanna on both but we would appreciate it. Anywho. ..can’t wait for Monday next week. The meltdowns are gonna be monumental???
You make fun of the site yetvcome here everyday to post commmets that they get paid off of. 2nd you always mention BEYONCÉ. You’re infatuated who cares what part of the list she’s on she still sells out stadiums something Rih has yet to do or any of your favs oh wait Bey is your fav lmao.
Thats what fuels her career. Samsung and streams.
Fenty Beauty and Puma say hi plus she already was the number one digital artist before streaming was even a thing! She has dominated in many things give credit where credit is due because now you really looking like a level 5 hater
