britney will forever go into pop culture archives right next to michael jackson. the legacy alone that she leaves for us after she dies will forever be stamped in history. she is an icon.

beyoncé was famous before she even met jay z, and had sold more records than him. also, how does someone make money off of a 4 year old? doesn't britney have multiple children? maybe she should take notes. and isn't the kick of destiny's child the fact that bey was the leader and the other girls were nothing but the other girls?

I don't usually do the Bey v Bri threads but..

Britney's overall career is HELLA impressive and is STILL something no other artist has been able to match.
Homegirl peaked four damn times:
-Baby One More Time {{diamond}}
-Oops! I Did It Again {{diamond}}
-Toxic
-Piece of Me

Beyonce started off lukewarm and then exploded with Single Ladies and then peaked twice after:
-Single Ladies
-BEYONCÉ
-Lemonade

Right now, no other artist is hotter than Bey - and there is NOTHING wrong with that. They all get their time to shine in one way or another (Brit did it, Katy did it..that's about it). The phenomenal thing with Bey is that this is her second magnum opus. BEYONCÉ and Lemonade.
The phenomenal thing with Britney is she has been consistently doing her damn thing since her debut. Britney has essentially had her ONLY flop ass era by her own damn hands (musically), but since the era was NEVER about the album in the first place and was ONLY devoted to complimenting Piece of Me, I can't even consider it a fail.

In conclusion, nobody can say that "Britney is over" or that she is a "throwback". I love the hive, but ya'll seem to forget that Bey was nothing spectacular until Single Ladies and THEN BEYONCÉ. Cause ya'll are making it seem like Bey has ALWAYS been on her current level when ya'll know your lying.

Britney was having successful eras moving more than 20 million albums while Beyoncé was stuck at the 5m-10m range.

Im a fan of Beyonce but Britney destroyed her last decade in terms of success, the proportional way she was bigger than Bey was insane last decade.

Beyonce was famous before Jay Z. Fact Beyonce is worth double the amount of what Britney is

she's been around for 18 years, i'm pretty sure it didn't take an entire decade to spark her career.

She wasn't that famous and people didn't know her apart from Destiny's Child. She even opened for Britney, so I think we know who was more famous back then.

THIS

Beyonce was your average Ariana Grande last decade, a talented girl proving herself with a small niche of fans fairly famous.

She became respected and way way more famous till this decade.

Basically this.
2008 and she still got the most successful tour by a female that year

Crazy In Love FEATURING JAY Z. bye.

GAH DAMN

What the **** that got to do with ANYTHING. If you are trying to tell me that during those span of years Bey was on top..ya lyin' and ya disrespecting yourself.
