IMO Rihanna has more hits, but I think Beyonce has certain hits that I think are already / or will be way more memorable.

Quantity = Rihanna
Quality = Beyonce


I vote for Beyonce, "Crazy in love" , "Irreplaceable", "Single Ladies", "Halo" are eternal, and also are songs from her destiny's child days like: "Say my name", "Independent woman", "Bootylicious", and "Survivor".

Perfectly said.

this is the thing, exactly.

Rihanna

The fact that the OP had to use RTW as the 4th choice.....yep, that's my vote gone to Rihanna.

Are you Rihanna fans really that ****ing retarded? The thread isn't about successful songs, it's about songs that will be played in 10-20 years.

Beyonce has already achieved this with Crazy in Love. (9 years old believe it or not)

Pon de Replay? Already Forgotten.
SOS? On the Verge of being forgotten completely.
Unfaithful? Already Forgotten.
Umbrella?
Don't Stop The Music? Forgotten.
Disturbia? Forgotten.
Take a Bow? Are y'all really calling this iconic? Prolly the most forgotten Rih #1 of all time.
Russian Roulette? Already Forgotten.
Hard? Already Forgotten.
Rude Boy? Memorable for the time being.
Only Girl? Doesn't have timeless sound.
What's My Name? We'll see.
S&M? HELL NO! I love this song, but
WFL? It maybe #1 for 10 weeks, but the song's success was generally due to the dance-pop craze. May not have a lasting effect.

Ask yourself, do any of the songs before LOUD era get played on the radio anymore?

Crazy in Love?

Boo, many of Rihanna songs will be played and only a handful of Beyonce songs are considered signature. I don't agree with that list but i think I posted 11 for Rihanna and like 5/6 for Beyonce.

And i don't think Beyonce holds more quality than Rihanna is some of those signatures. I think Crazy in love and Halo are quality...songs like Single ladies and Irreplaceable are cute but come one now...there are a few Riri songs that crap on them quality wise.

Poor Etta...may she rest in peace.

If we're speaking on a WW scale, Rihanna has more.

LFR. So by using the Beylogic, Rihanna should start releasing a flop after another and one hit every 10 years to have more "signature" hits. I'm done.

[MP2K]

People still don't get it. Let me stop viewing this thread. I just can't.

lol Rih is winning

[Graduation]

Rihanna has yet to release anything as iconic as "Single Ladies", let alone a memorable phrase such as "to the left, to the left, everything you own in the box to the left." And "Umbrella" is and always will be a poor man's "Crazy In Love", soooo I think we have an answer.

Hit =/= signature hit.

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn. But that’s alright Because I like the way it hurts. Just gonna stand there and hear me cry. But that’s alright Because I love the way you lie.

Beyonce. Rihanna really only has 2 smashes in the US (WFL & Umbrella), whereas Beyonce has 3..

Don't Stop The Music. Disturbia.

You're crazy. Halo is bigger than all of those

While I voted for Rihanna, I agree with this. Halo was a pretty big hit while the songs he compares it to were moderate hits at best.
