For first week album sales, Rebel Heart opened with 315k and Joanne with 314k. There are many other current factors to consider. Who is bigger righ now?

Gaga by a lot. Her album opened with more if u consider the decline, so yeah.

And Gaga's album isn't going to end after its first week either.

Madonna is the biggest WW in general tho. After her its Gaga, Adele and then Rihanna.

No one else is as global as those ^

how is gaga bigger than adele WW?

Madonna since she sold more

didn't RH have a tour bundle?

anyways, sales have declined more,so Joanne's is more bigger, but Madge had better peaks WW

I would say Gaga

.....? Come again?

you mean presently? it's Adele

if overall, you need to add Celine,Whitney,etc.

Madonna clearly. Madonna last tour made double the money than artrave. The fact that gaga is selling around the same as a women who is 30 years in her career, suffers from ageism and is out of her prime

oh I meant that they are equally global, Adele is obviously bigger.

Gaga is bigger WW and it's been that way for a while.

yes I thought about Celine, Whitney and Mariah, but i decided to leave them out as they are not as POP as the others and they are obviously legends and global

MDNA - 2 000 000m / MDNA tour 305 000 000m
Rebel Heart - 1 000 000m / Rebel Heart tour 169 000 000m

Artpop - 2 500 000 - / ArtRave: The Artpop Ball 83 000 000m
Joanne - we'll see

So far it's Madonna.

Considering Rebel Heart was Madonna's 13th studio album, 32 years in to her career at the age of 56.....
Had no radio support, suffered horrible ageism, was released in Q1 AND started to leak 4 months in advance, yet it still opened with bigger numbers worldwide, I'd say the answer to this question is blindingly obvious!!

Madonna

Madonna

Madonna. Her tour gross is much bigger than Gaga's.

Gaga, I don't think anyone is really aware of when Madonna releases anymore
