I know it sounds insane in the present but when you compare album sales and peaks they are pretty close.

Let go 17 Million vs DIL 9 Million
Under My Skin 10 Million vs Bday 5 million
TBDT 6million vs IASF 7 Million
GL 1.8 Million vs 4 3 Million
AL 600k vs BEYONCE 3 MILLION

Not to mention Avril was bigger during 2002-2007 than Beyonce ever was WW.



What do you guys think?

Yes Avril was huge ww during her peak. And she sold lots of albums

She was maybe but right now..no.

EDIT: Mess I didn't see overral. Hm that's hard I don't know.

Not at the moment, but if you sum up the sales, yes.

Overall I agree, also they debuted within the same year, so it's a perfect comparison of sales!

Not even close.

Sweetheart, Avril can't even buy the lighter it takes to light a candle to hold for Beyonce.

Yes, Avril at her peak was BIGGER than beyonce at any point, and Avril's underperformed/flop eras do just as bad/well as beyonce's worst. Plus she is bigger and more known WW.

Obviously not. There are more to it than just album sales.

But if you look at the numbers, the album sales don't even show that Avril is that far ahead.

Let go 17 Million vs DIL 9 Million (Avril's is almost 2x more)
Under My Skin 10 Million vs Bday 5 million (Avril's is 2x more)
TBDT 6million vs IASF 7 Million (Beyoncé's sold more)
GL 1.8 Million vs 4 3 Million (Beyoncé sold more than 2x more)
AL 600k vs BEYONCE 3 MILLION (Beyoncé sold more than 3x more)

Beyoncé isn't the one performing as an opening act for the Backstreet Boys... So i'd say no.

Avril had a cute peak but overall, Beyoncé wins.

Nice drag, but Avril has sold more albums than her and they debuted almost the same year as solo.

Your numbers for Beyonce are completely fabricated. BDay and IASF both sold 8 million, Self titled is at 3.6 million.
Let Go is at 16 million and GoodBye Lullaby has sold 1.3 million as well.

Avril had a frontloaded career. That's all that can be determined from this comparison.

Maybe until 2006.

Her selling more albums means absolutely nothing in the long run though, does it?

I live in America, and Avril has never been "bigger" than Beyoncé here.

Avril Lavigne had the same impact last decade than Beyonce this one, she just did on the emos as bey on the urban format. They had a similar peak of fame.

Avril was way bigger WW than Beyonce last decade, this one Bey is 10x bigger tho.

Overall obviously lmfao.

No she is not.

YES.
