and again - I’m open about my dislike for her so what’s the catch? I think she’s incredibly overrated.

 

I also think Taylor is overrated as well and I’ve been taunting her fan base for a while now but they don’t get as pressed as the liddos  (ik you’re a hybrid) 

 

Anyway, me disliking Gaga makes her bigger than Adele? Idgi

As @Chartman said , it depends what your measurements we're using. SPS / touring / ventures outside of music... you could make arguments for an assortment of rankings.

Biggest peak: Gaga

Biggest album era: Adele (21)

Biggest hitmaker: Rih

Biggest name: Bey

Biggest overall: Taylor

Rihanna is the biggest and most important. Adele, Bey and Tay are in between and Gaga is not relevant at all.

pretty much this

Poor gaga, jbbvcvbsbv

 

Rightfully last as she should be.

It's always adorable when @Jjang misses interacting with liddos so much that he drops a set up thread.  

 

We're just a PM away if you're ever in a pinch.

since most of us can agree on 1-3 i do think Gaga > Adele, because Gaga has done more for culture and more in general

genuinely curious if y’all really think Rihanna could surpass Taylor if Rihanna released as much as her

undoubtedly 

 

 

For instance, Taylor only overtook streaming when Rihanna stopped releasing. 

 

And still with no new album since 2016:

 

 

 

She's doing it without re-releases, TikTok promo, market oversaturation, dating racists or multiple editions.

Yeah, no one is talking about achievements outside of music. These ladies didn't have to resort other ventures to make money, since their music careers were profitable enough. 

The OP literally asked which of them is the biggest with no specifications. 

 

I understand why some of you wouldn't want to discuss non-music achievements because there would be nothing for you to discuss. But that's a personal problem.

Taylor wasn't on Spotify in 2014 and 2015 she would have easily topped the list if she was these years. She was bigger than Rihanna during the decade on both Youtube and Apple Music and her albums were performing better overall with Red, Fearless and 1989 being all bigger than any Rihanna album particularly in terms of pure sales (and only GGGB being somewhat close).

She was also the much bigger touring force ever since Fearless in 2009.

But she didn’t top it though for years (even after she joined) until she started mass dumping albums

Because Reputation is an underperformance for Taylor standards (still bigger than most Rihanna albums) while Anti is one of the bigger Rihanna albums.

Rihanna could mass release albums as much as she wants I doubt she would be as big as Taylor today. Maybe she could reach Drake level with two albums a year though? He was only slightly bigger than her when they were both active.

Lover also tanked on spotify initially. Wasn’t Taylor averaging like 6M daily streams in 2018/19?

 

When Rihanna was mass releasing albums, she became the best selling digital artist of all time and most streamed woman of her time. She could do it again if she wanted…

And still couldn’t top the list until 2021 when she had to start doing double releases  before that Ariana and Billie were tossing her wig back and forth 

 

 at all of the other hogwash you added now you want to focus on pure sales  like I said Rihanna reached these heights without a fifth of the desperation

Lover always had great longevity on Spotify, the singles just didn't connect much. Taylor was also the biggest global seller of 2019 something Rihanna never achieved during her whole career as far as I know. Taylor was bigger than Rihanna on Youtube when it was the more relevant platform than Spotify. She was also bigger on Apple Music.

Let's not even mention the vast difference in terms of pure album sales and touring gross while you cling to your 1$ singles sales.

Her career was on a downward trajectory. i don’t think she could have afforded to go on a hiatus like Rihanna and maintained relevancy

Are you sure you are not talking about Rihanna? Cause if Taylor's career was on a downward spiral with 'reputation' with all this…

 

 

… then I wonder how you'd describe the status of Rihanna's career the last time she was musically active with a new album:

 

 

Less successful than Twenty One Pilots and Adele with no new album? Dozens of unsold-out arenas across the US on your seventh (!) tour, despite affordable tickets, and a half-empty stadium in the UK?

 

And mind you, this all happened despite Rihanna having 2 albums more than Taylor at the time. So it doesn't look like releasing more albums automatically guarantees you immense success (as we also saw with Drake and Ed Sheeran lately).

ANTI and it’s hits were stomping on reputation and Lover during the last decade while Taylor was getting blocked by Lil Nas

Well… genuinely curious if you think Taylor would’ve surpassed Rihanna had Taylor stopped releasing albums after "Reputation” like Rihanna did after "Anti". 

6th vs 8th album?

If she stopped at 8 albums (Folklore) like Rih then yes easily.

Taylor first 8 albums are much more succesful overall than Rihanna first 8 albums.
