It's generally agreed upon that Michael Jackson was the most popular artist of the 80s and Madonna follows him at #2, but between Whitney Houston and Prince, who would follow who...was Prince bigger than Whitney or was Whitney bigger than Prince?

Whitney.

I feel like Whitney was bigger.

Whitney tbh. But you don't really compare outside of legendhood.

You don't compare the Royal Black Trinity

Whitney. She was bigger than Madonna in the 80's and 90's. The only female bigger was Mariah but that was later on.

Prince really only had one big era in his career Whitney had so many more.

Wow was she really?

No lol Madonna sold more albums, had more hits also her tours >

madonna released 4 albums to whitney's 2, of course she sold more albums

anyways, whitney

Whitney >>> Prince in terms of sales. However, Prince >>> Whitney in terms of lasting substantive IMPACT.

Ummm but they sold more than Whitney's albums.

Whitney her first two albums had sold over 40 million and she had 3-4 huge hits by then.

Whitney

Stop disrespecting our fallen angels, they ALL slay

Whitney.

She wasn't.
