Rhianna Does Cover Of Glamour, Calls Women Dominant Force In Music Business

Rihanna appears on the cover of Glamour magazine for the September issue, where the singer discusses how women are such a dominant force in Pop music right now. "There's a pack. It's me, Gaga, Katy Perry, Beyoncé... who else? Ke$ha for sure," she tells Glamour.

The singer, who finished up the US leg of her ‘Loud’ tour on Sunday, said that it is “exciting” that so many female stars are topping the charts and selling more records than their male contemporaries.

"Women are definitely dominating music right now, and that's because we are competitive beings. I feel like music hasn't been this exciting in a while." Meanwhile, a trailer for Rihanna's movie, Battleship, hit the web on Wednesday. The singer appears in the upcoming film as the character Raikes, alongside actor Liam Neeson. “All my friends are guys, to be completely honest. when I met Katy Perry, it was such a breath of fresh air. I just couldn’t believe this chick had no edit button. Katy and Lady GaGa came out of the gate exactly the way they think, the way they wanna dress, the way they wanna speak.’’

With the rise of Adele who doesn't fit the typical model body type of singers that most major distributors push to find and sign, it is a strong and true statement from Rihanna. She most certainly falls into the class of women like Lady Gaga, Pink, Ke$ha, Katy Perry, Beyonce, Nicki Minaj that not only dominate the music charts, but do such a great job at handling themselves as business women.

In 2009, Rihanna was awarded with a Women of the Year title by Glamour Magazine. She also covered the US edition of Glamour Magazine for the month final edition of that year, December 2009.
