I wouldn't say effortlessly, when there was 3 attempts before Work 

FourFiveSeconds was a huge top 5 hit

Rihanna is a trend-setter, outspoken, and with an unapologetic attitude like no other. YES she may not write her own songs and give **** concerts (I've been there) BUT she has my respect. She does what she wants and it turns gold... music, fashion, videos, movies, collections, fragrances, next makeup, damn even her paparazzi videos are iconic!!

Madonna is the white RIhanna

[ReidOne 12,427]

She's got a LONG way to go before she even comes close to achieving Madonna's level of cultural relevance and longevity. 

I don't deny she is one of the "biggest pop stars ever" but Madonna she is not.

Well since Madonna is the most successful by most metrics... she is the one to surpass if u wanna be the new queen of pop

Right. But Charts are a big thing to many ppl

 

ur talking about the title of "Queen Of Pop" the most successful female artist ever. Thats a big thing

 

a new generation trying to surpass the last

 

charts have more to do with this than art

Damn.. so much hate.

I love her. She is fierce. I remember back in 2010-2011 when all the female pop stars started copying gaga. I feel she was going in that direction, but then she remained true to herself. I miss her epic red hair!!! 

I was rooting for the Gaga-Rih collaboration in SexDreams

Not sure if being called a Madonna is a good thing nowadays. I love Madonna but Rihanna doesn't need a comparison. She's Rihanna and that's all.
