Both of these QUEENs' status in Pop Culture is seldom affected by if they are charting on HOT 100 or not. Or if they have #1s or not.
Even when they under perform, their dominance and power on Pop Culture and Prestigious Recognitions (such as FORBES, TIME etc.) remains unbothered & untouched.
Both of them are very similar in their power & dominance, when it comes Pop Culture. Both are massive touring forces and have been album sellers (although Gaga was a lil affected this era) and both seem to get the most recognition from reputable & respected sources, which has helped them become two of the MOST POWERFUL Women in the industry.
So are both of them in a league of their own already?
This thread is NOT comparing GAGA & BEYONCE. READ the OP carefully & comprehend.
