I would have said B. But she's not really "out" enough for me to pick her. And all her recent larger than life moments are from performances.

I think the things Rih does outside of music (makeup, lingerie, fashion shows) are cultural staples.

And Drake is everywhere but his relevance is brightest in hiphop culture. If he had a Kanye like impact outside of rap, I would chose him.

I think you hit it right on. I agree with everything you said.

Only people who haven’t been outside the USA saying Bey tbh

I thought Bey was big outside the US. The US only makes up half her sales. Same for Rihanna

Beyoncé by far and i don't particularly like her,

it's all b****es talk about on twitter

Terrible take. The Beatles, Aretha, and Stevie Wonder are icons and not relevant for fashion

Also you’re probably talking maybe some type of icon status outside of music. This thread is just trash because everyone is clearly on all type of different pages and using their own measurements and checklists

Beyonce didn’t hide a child

What measurement are you using? I’d like to know seeing as Drake has had hits in Europe, Latin America, Oceania, and Asia in addition to being crowned the most successful artist globally various years for him to be “irrelevant” globally

You weirdos for some reason think your personal experience dictates the entire world and ignore all statistics and tangible evidence

Beyonce

/thread

Wrong af. I'm from México and Drake is HUGE in all hispanic countries.

Beyonce

You talking about the same man that Adele, BIGGEST artist in the wolrd wanted to collab with?. Everybody loves Drake, specially white people and girls. Only edgelords, hipsters and hiphop heads dont like him.

Rihanna and Beyonce already achieved a spot on the "legendary" book but thinking Drake is not part of it too is just naive.

The only right answer. People think that new generations dont count lmao.

The other day i was talking music with my lil sister (10 y/o) and she didnt know who Ri or Bey was. Meanwhile all her friends and her bump IMF and toosie slide.

If this was 2010 Bey probably be the answer but as of now, Drake is a bigger Icon than them.

where in europe outside of the uk? where in asia?

I think its gotta be B. She's been relevant the longest, part of a famous power couple, been in movies, crazy huge fanbase, and had a couple super bowl performances.

the simplest way to look at it is how many average people strive to be like drake, and how many strive to be like beyonce?

mate acting like we listen to drake like that in europe lmao

People are actually debating this?

He has #1 hits in Germany, France, Netherlands, Ireland, Switzerland, Sweden, Norway, Italy, Denmark, and Belgium.

Did you even bother to do ANY research before just saying s***? Wtf is your definition of “listening to an artist”

“They don’t listen to him in countries he has reached #1 in”

Rihanna hasn't dropped an album in 5 years and is still just as relevant.

Shes the King

that’s 20% of europe, what are you on about

Beyonce

You are clearly mentally slow.

UK - 67 million population
Germany - 83 million
France - 67 million
Italy - 60 million
Netherlands - 17 million
Belgium - 12 million
Sweden - 10 million
Switzerland - 9 million
Denmark - 6 million
Norway - 5 million
Ireland - 5 million

= almost 350 million. That’s not 20% of Europe, and even in other European countries I didn’t list he has multiple hits.

you’re so cute with all your effort ❤️

Dumbass

Now also explain why the last time Beyonce & Rihanna released albums, Drake was the bigger artist globally that year, despite him being “irrelevant globally” according to you
