The one with impact

Britney and it's not even close.

Can't wait for that one Xtina fan to come here and say that Britney hasn't had a hit since 1999.

 

OT: Both very different? It's kinda hard to say. Britney has had more big pop culture moments and staples, but Rihanna was more consistent with her hits.

 

That being said, Rih has been pissing me off ever since she started releasing panties and movie soundtrack lullabies so I'm voting for Britney. The Avon Lady will be back in my good graces when she releases an album in 2047.

Britney had a bigger peak, Rihanna lasted longer and her success was more consistent.

britney's peak was massive and bigger than rihanna's, but rihanna's lasted longer. overall i'd say Rih is more successful, her consistency and catalog of hits is greater than britney's

Who are the Britney stans in this thread kidding? Yes BOMT is like one of the biggest hits of all time but how does that beat the insane consistency Rihanna had throughout the years she was active :zzz:

Only one is recognized as pop royalty so... Her. We all know who.

 

Buth both super iconic girlies.

I think Britney wins this one

 

Rihanna has more hits, but Britney has way bigger albums, impact and influence in music

 

Also in the long run Rihanna is being more associated with business than music

musical career? Rihanna.

 

around 2003, Britney transitioned from musical artist to paparazzi celebrity. it was about britney, not the music.

 

whereas Rihanna's music has always been at the centre of her career. it was her music making waves, not her personal life

Rihanna wins easily.

Rihanna, her catalogue is better, the success is consistent spreading all eras and the music is aging well, her streaming stats don't lie. Britney had a fair amount of cute quick lil singels after the 'comeback' in 2008 but it's evident the core of her relevant material comprehends what she did until Toxic - a 5 years span. Blackout is a cult classic, it don't counts.

I think they both have lasted the same.

 

Britney 99 - 11

Rih 05 - 16

 

Obviously Rihanna kinda chose herself to end her career while Britney just flopped but still…

Britney's reign lasted from '98-'12 and was frontloaded, but she had one of the biggest peaks of all time.

 

Rihanna lasted from 2005 to the present day despite not having an album for 8 years, classics that has penetrated the GP's playlists for almost 20 years, is the biggest selling digital artist ever, won more Grammys, had bigger tours, etc. Her discography will better fare the test of time. Musically, I think she has it.

 

Celebrity entity/pop culture wise, Britney has that.

I mean Rihanna will smash whenever she drops anyway. She's been on hiatus for 8 years but still gets 23-25 million daily on Spotify

Obviously Rihanna 

 

more #1s

more top 10 hits 

more hits in general 

more Grammys 

more acclaim

More versatile 

more record sales 

bigger in streaming 

bigger in digital sales 

her catalogue is far more valuable than that of Britney 


 

Britney wins in album sales and perhaps iconography.
