Who would you most like One Direction to collaborate with?

Rihanna took the poll with 38.3% (1,225 votes) to Robbie Williams' distant 25.8% — a 12.5-point gap that never closed. Behind them, Leona Lewis, Lady Gaga and Kanye West split the rest almost evenly at 13.2%, 12.2% and 10.5%. Add those three together and they still fall short of Rihanna's total by itself: 35.9% versus 38.3%.

This wasn't a photo finish that got decided late — Rihanna opened near a 30-point lead on day one and settled into roughly 38% for the remaining 360 days without a single real wobble. The UK, US, Ireland and Philippines — the poll's four biggest countries — all favored her too, so the result held up everywhere the votes came from, not just on average.
