FYI, anything that Top 40 or above is consider crossover or mainstream hit

But she doesn't have more hits than Aaliyah

Are You That Somebody
Try Again
Rock the Boat
More Than A Woman
We Need A Resolution
The One I Gave My Heart To
Back And Forth
One In A Million


Monica was more an urban artist, her music never truly crossover like Brandy and Aaliyah did. The latter even had successful films and Brandy hit TV shows.

She actually DOES have more hits than her.

Those were urban hits, Monica has never really been a mainstream artist. Chick is out acting like a insta model these days.

Days No. 2
Before No. 7
Why No. 9
For You I Will No. 4
TBIM No. 1
TFN No. 1

Weren?t you hollering that songs need to have certifications? n

Most of those do

And Ciara doesn?t have any solo hits and won?t ever do an area tour headlining or supporting.

Yeah nobody remembers anything from her because she was boring and never stood out

Lol!

Ya'll know I had to be EXTRA!

For me it's.....

Performance

1. Beyonc?

No one is even close.  The performer of her generation.  Her performances are anticipated and an event no matter the occasion.  Old school showmanship mixed with her own unique gift.  Larger than life stage presence.   Often called the "female MJ".  Beyonc? is the BAR for performance male or female. 

2. GaGa
3. Rihanna
4. Taylor

Writing

1. Lady GaGa

She is the best writer here and has proven to be able to write great songs across different genres and styles. 

2. Taylor Swift
3. Beyonc?
4. Rihanna

HITS

1. Rihanna

No contest.  Rihanna can literally breathe and it's bound to chart Top 20 if not Top 10.  She has a good ear for hits.  And 12 years in,  Rihanna seems to know what works for her and what doesn't.  Out of everyone here, she has the X-Factor for making a hit record.  There's just something about her voice and overall tone that is Pop music Gold whether it's Urban leaning or Top 40.  Her voice makes the record catchy and gives it that thing.  Rihanna will probably have over 50 Top 10's by the time her career is finished.

2. Beyonc? 
3. Taylor Swift (Has about 5 more Top 10's than Beyonce, but are her hits memorable or impactful?)
4. Lady GaGa (Her Super Bowl set felt like a trip down memory lane that stopped 10 years ago.)

DISCOGRAPHY

1. Beyonc?

She makes the best albums out of this bunch.  Even if they aren't perfect, her catalog is the strongest here.  A lot of the girls know her album tracks just as much as they do the singles.  The 2nd half of her career moved to creating "full bodies of work" as opposed to "hit singles" and she's benefitted from that tremendously.  Her Metacritic scores are also the highest of the 4.

2. Rihanna
3. Lady GaGa
4. Taylor Swift

FASHION

1. Rihanna

She's very hit or miss (mostly miss) now, but Rihanna had all the girls wanting to EDGE IT UP from 2007-2010.  Her style is always young, fresh, forward... and she's a risk taker.  Her street style is legendary, and the girls kind of use her name with the word "fashion" synonymously.  Fashion houses gag and adore her.  And all want her in their clothes.  She has a respect for it, and she takes it seriously.  No...contest!

2. Lady GaGa
3. Beyonc?
4. Taylor Swift

ACCLAIM

1. Beyonc?


Even if she loses Album Of The Year for a 4th time, she's the most acclaimed.  22 Grammys.  The highest metacritic score of these 4.  And just last year, "Formation" became the most awarded song EVER!  Think pieces and college courses pop up left and right to study Beyonc? and her work.  She's respected by her peers and mostly all of the legends before her.  Her name has become synonymous with "perfection" and "greatness". ...."You have the same 24 hours in the day as Beyonc?!"...."Would Would Beyonc? Do?".....

She's the GOAT of her generation.

2. Taylor Swift
3. Rihanna
4.  Lady GaGa (I would have put GaGa over Rihanna a few years ago, but she fell off...HARD!)

VIDEOGRAPHY

1. Beyonce

Visually, I haven't seen any of the girls here do anything as strong conceptually as Lemonade.  Ever since Todd Tourso left GaGa and became Beyonc?'s creative director, she's been untouchable in that area.

2. Rihanna
3. Lady GaGa
4. Taylor Swift

VOCALS

1. Beyonce

I mean... Please!

2. Rihanna
3. Lady GaGa
4. Taylor Swift
agreed

I think Rih makes better albums but I can live with this

U booked

GLOCK

A few things for sure..

No one sings or performs better than Bey.. period

And no one makes a hit or dresses like Rih!
