Who else has sold over 200 million records and has one of the highest grossing solo tours of all time? Only Madonna

No one says "Michelle Williams sold 60 million records so therefore she's very successful". Just because Bey's solo career is successful doesn't mean the Hive can just stack DC's receipts on top of hers to try and prove she's more successful than Britney.

Well Michelle joined DC half way through so of course she didn't. Bey is the girl present on all of DC's tracks so it wouldn't be fair to give the other girls sales for something they didn't contribute to.
