Because of who she's associated with or because of her talent?

Ariana stans need to calm down. She had one era bigger than Selena and, so far, that's it. She could certainly have another and be the bigger star, but it is painfully obvious that she needs promotion and radio play to succeed. She isn't a main pop girl or even close, don't embarrass yourselves by acting like she's "above" Miley or even Selena.

Bigger then her first 3.......

no.

What? When? Only in 2014 Ariana was bigger
Selena was already a star in 2007 when WOWP premiered, so she was bigger in 2007, 2008 and 2009 because Victorious didn't premiere until 2010

Ariana was just another charatcter in a TV show, while Selena was the main character in a show that was way bigger than Victorious.

And talking about music, Selena released 4 albums before Ariana debuted. Ariana last lead single and era are bigger than any song/era that Selena released but she wasn't ALWAYS bigger than Selena. What is always for you? less than a year?

you do realize ariana had better management and label to begin with? lets wait till ariana releases her album then it would give us the better picture

as of now selena has an advantage (comparing their present era) lets see if she could win when its all said and done!

Selena has always been bigger than Ariana. Ariana still has a chance to get bigger, but she needs to get over the backlash first to see if her career can grow more.

Exactly. I dislike Swift, but she is like god when it comes to making other peoples songs become mega hits. She couldn't help GFY do more than 1.5 and don't act like the Today Show ain't good promo.

Right?! Selena>>>>

Her first album has sold more than both of Ariana's combined
Her TV show was bigger
Her endorsement deals
Her Twitter followers
She has movies
Her net worth
Everything

My Everything got 1 billion streams. Has Selena ever even came close?

I want to see Selena release a lead single during two other artists' comebacks, peak #2 on itunes in almost all the countries it charted in, still sell over 100k, and still debut top ten despite the fact that others believe it would do less than 90k. Oh also, have over 70mil views from the video in two weeks.

Good For You did 179k with no video or performance. Educate yourself before posting stuff like this.

My Everything outsold every Selena album WW
The rest of your list is irrelevant and a JOKE. Her movies are a flop.
More twitter followers but less album sales? LMAO what was your point with this?

Lmfao y'all comparing twitter followers now. Selena also have more followers than Beyonce but is she bigger than her?

Kiss&Tell came out 8 years ago and YT has already sold more than half of what Kiss&Tell did in lesser time. Keep trying.

the question is who is bigger not who is more successful

i mean norah jones sold more albums than most of the main pop girls does that mean she is bigger? :rip


selena is known for her show/acting/singing has more likes on fb more followers on twitter and insta

and yes she is known for her relationship too

LOL

Singles: Selena
Albums: Selena
TV shows: Selena
Movies: Selena
Bigger celebrity: Selena
Endorsements: Selena (selena also has her own clothing line)

I could go on forever. The only thing Ariana can fight with is the singles department and she's not doing really that well on that department either so lets not. Selena is the bigger star, the more succesful musician, and will become even more famous as time goes on.

Wasn't Selena Gomez in the iPhone 6s commercial? That's the pinnacle of success, when Apple wants you. So she's bigger.

I'm sure that all of the markets Selena missed the top 40 in first week make up the 79k difference.

The OP specified music stats not insta likes
More specifically he's speaking about singles. And that is what we are discussing.

How about you learn how to read first. Ariana did not perform Focus on a televised show so thats cancelled. GFY came out during a terrible music drought. She didn't have huge competition so again thats cancelled. If I'm not mistaken, didn't GFY get some boost off the radio rolling effect when the Billboard release date changed?
