I think Shakira sold more albums but Beyoncé sold more singles&records,has a higher net worth,earned more,has more impact and more acclaim.So Beyoncé.

Beyoncé.

not this thread again

Shakira.

Both are huge.

Beyonce's career is about twice the size of Shakira's when you include Destiny's Child.

^^ Do you honestly think it's fair to compare group stats to a solo artist stats? Billboard separates them in all ways for a reason.

Who do you think has the bigger career, legend D.M.F?

This has me howling irl.

Since your asking for overall career than Beyonce by far. With DC Beyoncé's success trumps Shakira. Not to mention Beyonce can still sell albums and tours much better than shakira. Also is net worth and acclaim are taken into account (all show success) then Beyonce by an even greater margin.

The question was who has the "bigger music CAREER" DC was a part of Beyoncé's career so it should be included in her overall success.

In the US/UK (4% of the global population) - Beyonce
Worldwide - Shakira

Lets not forget how Shakira with Beautiful Liar gave Beyonce her single with more #1s in Europe and INTRODUCED her to the latin american market where she was practically unknown. In Africa, South East Asia, India, Middle East, etc Beyonce's popularity in nowhere near Legend Shakira.

So, by far, Shakira.

Yes since we're talking about Beyonce's career. DC is part of her career.

Shakira has Facebook likes but Beyoncé has everything else.

all these Shakira threads, she is the new standard i c

Beyonce's biggest selling singles in Europe

"Beautiful Liar" is not even part of her Top 5. Are you sure about this? And can you prove that Beyonce is not popular in Africa/South East Asia/India, etc?

OT: I think Bey!

yeah, that's why shakira's average career score on metacritic is 76 an bey's is 70

I'm from Brazil and Beyoncé wasn't introduced with Beautiful Liar It is one of her most forgotten hits. It's only remembered cause it's a collab between Beyoncé and Shakira.
