Im an r&b head, heavy. You clearly never sat and played Beyonce albums fully if you think 80% of that is R&B. Beyonce is a pop act, she aint been an R&B artist since 2004.

Bruh her first album is primarily rnb with notes of hip hop, soul and funk

Same with her second album (2006). 4th album (2011) was a mix of rnb, retro soul, hiphop ...Party, Love On Top, Dance 4 You. Released during a time when EDM was the wave

Lemonade was primarily rnb, soul

Even her vocal stylings are heavily influenced by traditional rnb, gospel music....She does a lot of vocal layering, melisma, riffs and runs you are more likely to hear in church or on a Luther Vandross, Brandy album opposed to top 40 radio

The album with Single Ladies is her only "pop" album and most successful

Rihanna got like a million more hits than Beyoncé. Beyoncé stopped chasing pop hits after that single ladies success

Beyonce's music is much, much more r&b so it doesn't have as wide an audience as more commercial sounds and hooks

it's why Whitney is the highest selling black woman artist in albums worlwide

Did you think you were saying something controversial? I don't know the numbers off top but I don't think it's even close. Had you told me this would be the case 15 years ago I'd have laughed.

I mean Beyoncé is more talented but her music is trash. It caters mainly to hood rats and fags. Rihanna may not have her talent but her music has more appeal and caters to more audiences.
:mjlol:why are yall like this lmfao? Surely there was a less crazy way to make your point. But yea, Rihanna's audience is much broader. Beyonce probably leaned a little too heavy into the scorned "nikkas aint shyt" shtick (for obvious reasons) but it worked out for her I guess. Rihanna's last joint, Anti, isn't half bad though:ehh:. Production on that was legit really dope.

Because I’m being honest. My ex dragged me to 3 Beyoncé concerts and the demographics were always identical:

30/40% OTT flamboyant homos. 30/40% overweight horrific weave wearing hood rats. The other 10/15% were decent looking women who dragged their husbands/boyfriends along with them. It felt like a pride parade.

And for the record, Beyoncé is a great performer. She’s definitely up there with the greats…I’d say her music sounds better live. But if I would never actively play/search for her music.

add in Destiny's Child's hits...
No problem.

Destiny's Child has 4 #1 songs adding that number to 11 for Beyonce short of Rihanna's 14. 10 top 10 songs adding that number to 22 which is more than Rihanna 17.

So factoring in DC the argument can be made that Bey has more hits :manny:

Who gets more play at a Black club or Family reunion. Im a dj and that's how you compare Black catalogues.
