Not right now. Adele could fart and sell millions of copies of it at this point. She is nearing 10m sales of 21 WW when it's been out for 8/9 months with 2 big singles whereas LOUD has done about 5m since it's release last year with several big singles.

In the charts RiRi is doing better than Gaga, but Gaga still has bigger cultural impact. The only memorable moment that Rihanna has ever had was, sadly, the incident with Chris Brown... Gaga gets all the headlines wherever she goes, Rihanna doesn't get that kind of treatment. She's just a radio star, which is fine for what she is, like Katy, but she's not an "icon" (using that term lightly) like Gaga, Britney, Madonna...

And it does show on the charts as well. When Gaga and Britney released their lead singles (Born This Way and Hold It Against Me), they both shot to the top of the US iTunes chart. Rihanna didn't even get close with We Found Love until the video came out. Just shows the levels of public interest really. If Rihanna was making more risky and experimental music that wasn't designed for the charts then no one would care.

Cockiness (Love It) is the dirtiest song I've ever heard, I love the album, it's amazing

Rihanna has had 6 massive albums in 7 years and had most of her singles light up the chart worldwide. She is bigger than Adele. If Adele can do it again with another album then I'll believe it

You said biggest "at the moment" though, that's what we were talking about. 21 has outsold any of Rihanna's albums anyway.

Adele is not in the same catergory as Rihanna/Lady Gaga/Kesha/Britney etc imo

But you said her success was unrivaled when it's not

Also BTW has already passed/matched Loud's WW total.
