Luc 4,775 Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Facebook likes I think Adele' s record sales says enough. Rihanna wish she could have an an album go diamond in the U.S. Adele isn't as big as Rihanna (well, she is bigger but ), and sales can't prove such things. Is AKB48 bigger than One Direction? Is Arashi bigger than Katy Perry? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VforVendetta 2,024 Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Lady Gaga was the biggest female in 2010-2011, then Adele (only while her era lasted so I am not sure If we can categorize her as the biggest female WW although 30M albums in 3 years .... ) But right now there is no biggest female ... If someone say Rihanna again, they deserve BAN .. You can't be the biggest female and selling 3M Albums with your last 2 albums .. And her biggest hit We Found Love is hardly at 9M WW .. I mean Telephone is at 9M, Born This Way is at 9M (8.2 from 2011 alone) .. Rihanna's power has always been so so so overrated ... I mean releasing her album (post We Found Love slayage) on Black Friday and selling 220k or so ? And being her first number 1 and her biggest week ... Rihanna is the most appealing artist for the last 10 years, definitely not the most powerful / the biggest female ... Lady Gaga, Adele and even Beyonce >>> Rihanna and Katy ... Especially Katy.. If she loses the radio support she has literally NOTHING. Rihanna of course is in a better position but still both artists DEPEND on hits ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 680 Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Adele appeals more to the "real GP" than anyone - the soccer moms who only buy an album every 2 or 3 years. But those people aren't a dependable fanbase (see Norah Jones and Dido). It's better to be popular with the actual pop fan GP. Touring is key to making money and longevity, and even Katy and Rihanna have earned more there. Adele doesn't make music for the eye, she needed vocal surgery, she has a kid to look after.

Snowyrain 38 Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 I'm talking about *music wise* here. Just think about this: Adele and Rihanna begin new era at the same time. Who will sell more albums ? Who will broke records ? Who will sweep the awards ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foivos 64 Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 SALES ARE NOT THE ONLY FACTOR IN ORDER TO SAY HOW BIG IS AN ARTIST GAGA IS STILL THE MOST INFLUENTAL AND BIGGEST NAME IN THE INDUSTRY Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many people say Miley is the biggest star of the moment, yet Gaga is selling 2x better than her right now.Rihanna is the biggest female star of 2013, and yall better deal.

Stefani328 321 Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Adele isn't as big as Rihanna (well, she is bigger but ), and sales can't prove such things. Is AKB48 bigger than One Direction? Is Arashi bigger than Katy Perry? Leave the rude weight comments out of this. Well this is the music industry, so talent and sales should count. Rihanna may be more popular than Adele but her popularity still does not equal the amount of sales Adele has. Adele keeps her life private. She doesn't discuss her relationships on Facebook and Twitter. She doesn't rely on a pretty face to sale records. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This tbh, people forget that Rihanna is just always here and has managed to stay somewhat successful and popular without people getting tired of her. That is a big feat in itself but she really isn't as huge as some people here seem to think. In the end the GP are really what matters, being a more famous pop culture icon doesn't matter as really only a small percentage of people in the world or even in countries like the UK and the US care about that scene. Having a huge hardcore fanbase can only help artists like Gaga, Madonna and so on who might occasionally lose allot of their GP fans and have to rely on hardcore fans to help rebuild their image. As long as people don't get sick of adele (which is unlikely) she wont need any of this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowyrain 38 Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Listen here, when the GP sees Eminem and Rihanna and Eminem and Adele, they'll listen and buy rihanna first because of the name No, they will listen Adele first.

Luc 4,775 Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Adele simply lacks gay support to have a long career. Only those with support from the Gays will have a long career (Madonna, Cher, Britney , Beyonce and Gaga) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
