I don't see you guys pulling those year factors when comparing sales with Rihanna or Gaga, who released way after the album sales peak, yet it's always the number one thing to argue against artists who outsell Beyonce like Britney, Avril or Alicia.
Beyonce needed Gaga, so whats your point?

The number crunchers in the industry take these things into consideration because money is on the line. The fact of the matter is that Songs in A Minor had it's record sales and airplay for Fallin bought and paid for by the record company to launch Alicia's career. FACT.
Even if you consider that a better comparison for Songs in A Minor may be comparing the album Bey had out at that time called Survivor with Destiny's child.
