For exemple here in France apart her lead single I don't even think they played all of her other singles on radios... Taylor is local and mainly US... Though I agree GA and Katy will end up returning strong, more than Rihanna, when they'll be back not when 1989 sold like 4M outside US See talent here-->http://bit.ly/2eqeUxK Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UmbriaWitch 325 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Have several seats please There is no denying her charting and streaming power, but there are other things that go into being the biggest artist, like impact, longevity, album sales, touring etc, and she's lacking in those areas.

GagaMyBlood95 9,915 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Not really true. Rihanna is kinda local (US/Canada oriented) tbh, she is just super popular among the gp, but biggest global artist? I wouldn't say it like that... If anyone is the biggest global artist - it is Adele currently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamJ 8,008 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Currently I'd say the biggest artists are 1.Rihanna 2.Justin Bieber 3.Taylor Swift Gaga will be number 1 again soon tho Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamJ 8,008 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 People who are saying Sia is big. Omg she is not a household name in the slightest. The GP have only heard titanium and that's David Guetta some pop fans have heard chandelier but even that didn't get on radio here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrawberryBlond 14,897 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 It's hard for me not to say something about Rihanna that I've not already said many times before, so I'll keep it short. Put it this way - global is the whole world. If Rihanna's such a global artist, how come she has a miniscule fanbase in Latin America? And virtually no fanbase in Asia? She rarely goes to these places and when she does, it's just 4 or 5 dates, sometimes in just 1-2 countries overall on each of these regions. She's never done a massively successful Latin American leg covering multiple countries at large arenas and stadiums like Madonna, Beyonce, 1D, Shakira... She's never pulled off a massively successful Asian leg covering multiple countries at large arenas and stadiums like Gaga or Avril Lavigne or Celine Dion. And these regions are no small fry. Put all the Central and South American countries populations together and you have roughly 574 million - more than the entire North American population. And Asia is the world's biggest continent, with nearly 4.3 billion people. Over 60% of the world's population lives there. That turns into billions of people that Rihanna simply isn't connecting with. So, how can she be the biggest global artist? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So your point is that if the whole world and literally every human in this world doesn't connect with an artist, then the artist isn't a global artist? Honey no, an artist can't be liked by the whole world. It's like saying that all the gays like Gaga so she is a global artist. No because all the gays doesn't like Gaga, some like Madonna. And in this case some like Rihanna and some like Beyonce. But anyhow Rihanna has had an cultural impact and will be remembered forever. People can hear Pon De Replay today and people will still know who sang that song back in the days and she is still relevant. And by the way your argument about Riri not going to Latin America, Gaga didn't tour Latin America with the ARTPOP ball so maybe she isn't a global artist either?

Iwontell 7,312 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I just hope monsters don't become this douchey IF Gaga does ok with her next album...
