Dolce Vita Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 yes, if not more aside from a few collabs rihanna hasn’t released solo music since anti so the drought has been longer than Beyonce who’s released many side projects since lemonade up until now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MingYouToo Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 People are really conflating her consistent streams with overall success. If Beyoncé and Rihanna both came out and gave it their all simultaneously in terms of promo and rollouts Beyoncé would easily demolish and thats because of how big and die hard her fans are. One ass quality era/album from Rih and that trust will be broken. Lets not forget that Lemonade was IFPI 2016s biggest album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vespertine Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Probably more. Rihanna never really had "fan base hype" kind of releases in the past, but she's doing incredibly well on Spotify with no new music in years. People are hungry. Plus, Bey had features, EIL, Homecoming, and The Gift between Lemonade and this week. Rihanna has released nothing so the expectations and hype feel even bigger. That's for a lead single, though. Album is a different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does the bigger star have similar album sales, less digital single sales, and weaker streams? Beyoncé is a bigger touring force though, I'll give her that. But commercially speaking, y'all overestimate her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can assure you that Beyoncé new single release won’t make not one of her albums chart next week. Save this post for next week to dragged me if I’m wrong.

Good for Anti but B had several albums spending 100+ weeks. The confidence that you guys have I really hope that you realized that Adele, Ed, Bruno (Sill Sonic), Drake, The Weekend, BTS, Kendrick are underperforming, BTS was expected to debut with 500K by Billboard. Adele for example was a gigantic album seller with loyal GP that bought the physical copies of her albums. Drake/Ariana/The Weekend are streaming giants. Considering Rihanna was not a huge physical seller, I'd say her numbers will be driven by streaming like the latter examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky Wilson Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 There has never been any hype for Rihanna, it's all little quick singles The public likes Rihanna as spotify playlist and radio fodder, but don't actually miss her or stan her The public just isn't interested in spending their hard earned money on her, hence the lack of touring power or album selling pwr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yeezytaughtme Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Absolutely, if not even more. It’s Rihanna, one of the biggest stars in the world, and judging from her incredible streams despite not dropping an album in years says a lot about her music and longevity. It doesn’t matter how much longer we keep waiting for the new album, when she drops it, it will be instantly at the top, you can write that down. She’s relevant even now, beating artists that dropped this year, and she’s outstreaming them! There is no doubt in my mind the hype will be real when she drops.

Rei Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Not sure but it really doesn’t matter because nowadays Beyoncé is more hype than actual numbers while Rihanna actually pulls in real numbers, I mean she has never left the top 10 of most streamed female artists despite not releasing an album since 2016. K bye for now, Sunshine. <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
