Which makes no sense since Beyonce has been consistently outsold by Rihanna in albums department. Talk That Talk outsold 4 and Unapologetic is still ahead of Beyonce.

But Beyonce opens quite a lot better than Rihanna. The demand is much higher for her albums at the beginning than with Rihanna.

Every icon eventually becomes bigger than their music. Bob Marley is the best example of that.

Bob Marley's very much the face of reggae though, and has TONS of well known hits.
Elvis would be a better example of that. Massive cultural icon, music on the backburner.

Half the people with Bob Marley posters up in their dorm room can't name more than 1 or 2 songs

But he's sold like 10x as much music in the past twenty years as Bob Marley.

Most acclaimed albums have no commercial success at all. Music that achieves chart success tends to be generic, tailor-made for radio, and achieve Metacritic scores of 61.

Music is not like movies, where acclaim correlates to box office success. It's an entirely different animal.

Tell that to Adele and Lorde. They are apprantly unaware that they have to choose between monster number 1 singles + great selling albums and acclaim.

Even though I prefer many Bob Marley songs over this, "I Can't Help Falling In Love With You" is definitely better known than any Marley song (or any Reggae song for that matter).

I can't wait for THE GAY ADELE his US takeover.

Beyonce is one of if not the most respected, idolized and supreme current musician. What are you talking about? She is literally the blueprint of what people want to acheive. She is praised by critics, the industry, the general public, fans, fellow musicians and legends alike.

So what? She still has no legacy.
What happens when America turns on her like they did Janet, Michael, Madonna.
She won't have a leg to stand on.

Britney's stuck asking them to repeat the options.

I only know Jailhouse Rock (because it was covered on a local talent show) and A Little Less Conversation (because of the Junkie XL remix)

[Clump]

Bob Marley has so many songs better than MJ's discography.

Exceptions, not the rule, and neither have proven themselves beyond one era at this point in time.

That's also why I used the word "most."

Whats the point if she doesn't outsell her in the end. It makes no sense and the Rihanna has hits and Beyonce doesn't excuse is even worse. So Rihanna gets both better selling singles and better selling albums but she is worse cuz she opens with less numbers?
