Beyoncé and Justin Timberlake are two artists that have seen major solo success since breaking away from the groups they started in. Should their groups' accomplishments and sales be counted along with their solo sales and accomplisments?

keep it all the way cute

no tbh, groups are different acts from solo artists

Yes, if collaborative receipts count, why can't group receipts?

My Korean faves have released a pile of solo songs but all of them are credited as X member of X group so yes, in some cases.

to some degree they should be used, but the Hive tend to act like Kelly and Michelle don't exist, despite the whole point of Destiny Fulfilled is that each gal had an equal share. idrk in Justin's case.

No.

No.

For Beyonce yes, the fact that in most of her earlier stuff the other girls didn't sing one word.

You also have to consider the fact that Beyonce was the lead vocalist and undoubtedly the most popular member, her name was synonymous with Destinys Child, she had the most influence and played the biggest role, the same can't be said with the other two.

Beyonce, yes. Justin, no.

Only if people who want to count group credits are willing to credit the other members of the group too.

They don't seem to be willing though, so to answer the question, no.

Isn't it strange that Beyonce was the only one who was able to continue the level of success DC had, I wonder why that is.

No. Beyonce isn't selling like Destiny's Child was and Justin isn't selling like N'SYNC was. The groups were bigger than their solo careers.

They should be counted for all members. The problem is that it gets really messy with certain groups like Destiny's Child or PCD where the lead singer had such a HUGE role over the rest of the group.

Its a part of their career in general so yes they should be counted, if you specify when they went solo then you can only use their solo receipts but for a their music career in general it should and is counted
