Who do you think is the bigger phenomenon?
I'm not talking about just music sales or hit singles; which one of these two megastars is the bigger pop culture and business phenomenon. I actually have a lot to say about this and I'm going to be posting a ton of statistics that I find interesting later, but I thought I'd leave it open for discussion before then.
Try not just to just list one. I'd like to hear what y'all have to say.
