frenchyisback Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) I wish Rihanna cared a lil more about touring and had 150shows+ for the Loud Tour or the DWT. DWT was killing it as far as attendance and average gross but Riri always cut her tour shorts and move on to the next era... She would have easily gotten to 250 Million+ with full South American leg and a more extensive Asian & African leg and a maybe even 2nd European leg (lord knows she was a high demand on that continent) Edited January 24, 2017 by frenchyisback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crescendolls. Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) Beyoncé . The only one with less than 50 shows, daaamn.

Rihanna would be on that list if she did 150-200 shows during DWT like Katy & Gaga (and Bey in 2013). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
