Okay?! It's not like people are saying Christina isn't iconic, she is

But there was never a period in Beyonce's career where she went as unchecked for as X from 08-13 (until she managed a feature on a hit song). Being iconic isn't so much talent or even sales, but cultural impact and where you are in people's minds. When one of the others gets on the front page of newspapers and on every major news network for releasing an album, or
wearing an obviously short-haired wig, then we'll talk

Factor that in with sales and such, and you have an ICON.
The last things Christina did that had cultural impact and made her ubiquitous were her rivalry with Britney (in which she was usually outshined), + the Lady Marmalade and Beautiful song and video. She was also very successful in 06-07.
