This is a controversial topic... 

Rihanna in my opinion has more hits, more substance and has made music with Queen Britney. 

Umbrella 

Disturbia 

Don’t stop the music

Need I say more ?

i cannot name any Beyoncé songs except Crazy in Love... 

Don't forget Diamond too!

To be rihonest it’s always gonna Be Rihanna! Her songs resonate and they’re just bangers.

Yeah just like Britney, I can track my life through her songs. Beyonce had it here or there but RiRi always brought catchy songs

[limezd]

Rihanna all the way. 
 

When’s the last time Beyoncé had a pop hit? 2009 with Single Ladies?

After that she just stole her sisters style and is ripping Africa continent couture pretending she’s from there. I’m gonna get so much hate for saying that.

Personally, I like Beyoncé’s music more. I think her vocals are stronger and her music definitely didn’t try to cater to radio like Rihanna’s did. However, Rihanna is probably the defining “hit maker” of our generation and will go down as a pop music legend.

I mean who cares about a pop hit when she was selling albums like hot cakes with self titled and Lemonade ....

idk if this is time for this topic 

[Britneylandia]

I think they’re both iconic tbh. But not that impactful or legendary. Maybe Beyoncé is kinda legendary not gonna lie. But I like Rihanna’s music way more lol.

I feel like after Britney there isn’t a legendary singer or someone with a similar impact. Beyoncé has that celebrity mystery and inaccessible vibe that puts her above current pop stars and maybe Justin Bieber had a big impact too (we can’t deny the phenomenon) but neither of them come close to Britney tbh. 

You know who is the current celebrity with the biggest impact, Kim Kardashian lol, like it or not her and her family rule the world of trends.

Beyonce has a better music and better live performances, and she's the better singer too. But I have more respect to Rihanna cause she doesn't get involved in one too many plagiarist accusations unlike Beyonce who, from one era to another, is accused of ripping off certain artists (from writing credits, visuals, choreography, etc., name it). And Rihanna never came across as a perfect artist which once again Beyonce tries hard to be. 

But since this is a question of better discography, then it has to be Beyonce. Beyonce's albums contain bops (even the non singles), and is usually consistent in its themes and messages. Rihanna's strength comes from her singles (and features) but when you listen to the whole album , I mean there's certainly a reason why she used to release ****ty albums every ******* year cause once the stronger tracks were released as singles, there's nothing else to release. And in the list of best selling artists, she is ranked higher than Beyonce and Britney only because her singles sold more (that doesn't even make sense).

it's because Rihanna is pop  and Beyoncé is PURE R&B since 2011.

what...beyonce was the most rnb on her first record though. she's dabbled in more genres since 2011 than before, during which she was far more heavily r&b & pop. 

i'm a bit curious about people considering rihanna more "pop" than beyonce..i would say she's less soulful and more aligned to dance music but rihanna hasn't really been that much more pop-oriented than beyonce (both have been pretty pop-oriented up until their more recent releases)

[blackoutbixxh]

Both Queens in their own respective ways. I love both but I prefer RiRi over Bey most days. I don’t really see the need to pin the two against each other though

You're right, though for GP Beyoncé it is quite pop based on the choice of singles.
As for Rihanna...she is quite pop . Only they try to sell it as R&B to have more credibility

I mean of course they sold a ton, it was based off a gimmick. I mean I’d like to see her surprise drop something relevant. Like talent.

this topic is pure blasphemies, without Beyoncè Rihan*l couldn't even exist in music business
