Rihanna is all up in there. Beyonce...not so much.
LOVE' IS ...: Eminem's "Love the Way You Lie" rises 2-1 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the rapper's fourth chart leader.

Since, she has ruled with "Umbrella," "Take a Bow," "Disturbia" and "Rude Boy" and as a featured act on T.I.'s "Live Your Life" and the chart's new No. 1.

Fall back? Apparently she was never on the list....b/c MiMi, Janet, Whitney, and Madonna gained most of their hits quite a while ago...And Akon came much later after her...

What's up with 8:40pm?

That's the same divisive mentally that the man taught you and you are perpetuating.

Caribbean, Canadian, South American, American, African,European....and all Black people of the world share a commonality....Stop the hatred....Free your mind...

Ha! That really means nothing. Beyonce by far is still much bigger than Rihanna. Beyonce has sold WAAAYYYY more records than Rihanna. All 3 of Beyonce's solo albums have gone #1, Rihanna has never had a #1 album. Beyonce's tours are always quite successful, Rihanna always struggles to fill arenas and this year even had to cancle many tour dates due to low ticket sells. Beyonce always brings in the huge endorsement deals while Rihanna does not. Year after year Beyonce is on top of the forbes richest celebrity list while Rihanna is nowhere to be found. Rihanna has a bigger pop appeal and she does alot of features and callabos which makes up for a big proportion of her #1's and top 10's
