im bored of this beyonce conversation lets hate on gaga

the job of a publicist is to maintain a good public image of their client (pretty much damage control) and to maintain communication between their client and the media

??????? where do you get your information?

her first two albums sold like crazy and the rest didn't

but

Britney - 15m WW
ITZ - 10m WW

britney died in 2009 when she got her lobotomy

B'Day outdoing Blackout was the first time Beyonce REALLY beat Britney, but Britney was still such a massive celebrity and media entity that it didn't even matter. The press and attention Knee was receiving overshadowed any and everything.

IASF is where Bey really started to take over as the media fascination around Brit started to die around as she became medicated, and Bey kept becoming a bigger media fixation after going more public about her marriage to Jay Z.

omg

Was this supposed to legitimately justify something?

Read The Daily Mail. All they do is drag eBey 24/7. Every female and gay in the UK with a job at a computer reads that **** day in, day out. People are starting to dislike her over here.

inflated..

britney 11
itz 8

sources media traffic and her official web site

both inflated army numbers much like the "BOMT has sold 30 million ww" when her own website used to have it listed at 22 million ww

meanwhile we have

the writings on the wall - 12 million
survivor - 10 million

two numbers that are both old as hell because Beyoncé/DC are undercertified as hell

DIL - 9 million
ITZ - 8 million

...but GHMP, less than one year later, did 6.5+ million.

+ Brit's huge global hits, bigger tours, media attention (VMAs, marriages), etc. She was still very much bigger than Bey in 2003-2004, even in the music world. You could make an argument for Beyonce in the US, though.

Britney's media presence literally died right after she got hospitalized. It's as if the press backed off completely out of fear of killing the girl.

UK media is so vicious once they've decided they hate you. And they're shameless about it
