Rated R could have easily been a GGGB knock-off, but instead she comes back dark and releases a ballad as a first single (each of her previous first singles have been club bangers). This is what builds iconic status as an artist, when you continually shock people with what you're offering and tbh, I ever expected this route from Rihanna but I love it. She's truly upped her game and is taking names.

With Gaga though she's only had two albums as of yet to Rihanna's four. Remember Rihanna's first two albums were extremely similar it wasn't until the third album when she went into a more electro R'n'B style and then obviously a slight rock tinged sound for her fourth. From what I heard of Gaga's new songs there is a difference between her albums. The newer songs have a much darker edge to them.
