[POLL] Who's more popular in your country?

[AquaBlue]

Please post the country that you come from and their biggest hit(s) in your country. 

 

I was talking to my friend and she asked me, "Is Beyoncé really that popular in the USA? Why do a lot of people call her Queen B or the female version of MJ?" She thought Rihanna was more popular than Beyoncé here since the former has more, or well-known, hits than the latter in her country. 

 

In the USA, Beyoncé has a cult-like following and a massive fanbase, but Rihanna has more hits and is listened to the most by the general public.

Beyonce at the moment I think ,she could sell out stadium here if she came ,btw I am from India

[Usagi.]

Beyoncé I think

[Rolling Thunder]

Beyonce

[Sorok]

RIHANNA by a landslide. I can't choose a big hit.The biggest were:Stay, Diamonds, Please Don't Stop The Music, We Found Love, Where Have You Been, Umbrella, What's My Name, Work, Take A Bow, Who's That Chick? etc all smashes that almost everyone knows

 

People here may know of Beyoncé but no really listens to her music. Maybe Single Ladies was popular but not sure

[YuMing]

from USA and idk I know of more rihanna songs than beyonce but everyone knows who both of them are

 

I feel like beyonce's name has a bigger """"impact"""" tho idk why

[nanisore]

Rihanna

[金彩媛]

Rihanna

[kookcarl27]

Beyonce is still the queen acc to my Filo fellowmen yet Rihanna is still known as she has more hits than the former.

[godblessdelulu]

RIhanna, every one of her no.1 since Loud album are all popular, and Love the way you lie, and Monster

[AquaBlue]

from USA and idk I know of more rihanna songs than beyonce but everyone knows who both of them are

 

I feel like beyonce's name has a bigger """"impact"""" tho idk why

I feel like most people from the public know more songs from Rihanna than Beyoncé even though the latter has been in the music industry for 5-6 years longer than the former. 

 

Rihanna's last HUGE hit was 'Work' in 2016. 

Beyoncé's last HUGE hit was 'Single Ladies' in 2008.

 

I completely agree with your last statement.

The amount of hits Rihanna has is outstanding. 

 

Rihanna: 14 #1 hits 

Beyoncé: 6 #1 hits (as a soloist; 10 if we include the songs from her DC days)

Bey was popular during Single ladies in 2009.

Rihanna is more general public recognized.

[Liliana]

Rihanna has more hits and I’d say she’s more popular

People here just know Beyoncé, but not really much from her song, aside from Single Ladies

[MarceloKummer]

Everyone knows who both are, but Rihanna has had more hits here. 

Beyoncé's only hits here were Crazy In Love, Irreplaceable and Single Ladies, probably Best Thing I Never Had too but it wasn't really huge. Almost every major Rihanna hit was a smash, even LOTB was a small hit thanks to a viral video.

I'm from Brazil.

[Edgemoon]

Both? Maybe Beyoncé because she's been around the longest

[basicbitch47]

Quite sure it's Rihanna. Beyonce is more known for being the queen in America. Her songs, especially recent ones aren't really listened to by a lot of people.

These did relatively well too (after Single Ladies)

-Run the World

-Drunk in Love

-Halo

-Diva

 

Looking at Wikipedia seems like both have similar amounts of hits in the US.

[coval]

riri

 

even without new music she's released fenty so she's always staying relevant

i say even elderly people know her since she became a meme here when a farmer chased her off his field for filming a music video there

[junmyeonsnoodle]

I live in the US. Beyonce is a NAME and a BRAND. Her career is way longer, I would argue that she's had more hits than Rhianna-just not as recently. Also, Beyonce is part of a HUGE power couple-which people are fascinated by-and she was part of Destiny's Child-which was really, really, really popular in the early 2000's. This isn't even a competition in the US. 

[mrs.otter]

Ofc now it's Rihanna but Beyonce was more popular at her peak.

[DDavinci]

Their songs are both popular, however 'Beyoncé' as a whole has transcended artistry to be treated as a whole brand and culture. Her name can be used synonymously in conjunction with describing a 'top' artist or a successful act. Beyoncé also has the edge with her fanbase.

 

ex. Man, it would be so exciting if BTS could pull a Beyoncé one day.

[bronx.]

Beyonce

[nameons]

Beyonce is an icon here but everyone knows rihannas songs. I dont think lots of people listen to beyonces newer songs, she‘s just an artist we all know here.
