Beyoncé has sold millions. With DC and without. And she continues to do so. I don't care how many albums Britney sold with her first two albums, obviously neither did Billboard. Beyoncé has the more impressive career considering she took the title when Brit was supposedly "ruling".

Hundreds of millions of unbiased people purchasing your albums worldwide>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> a select few in a committee handing an award.

There's a reason Bey still has to do promo non-stop to get people to buy her hits while Britney can actually move catalogue units without doing performances in years.

As if Britney performing at her Vegas shows isn't helping her music sell.

Bey's I Am... Sasha Fierce era was bigger than any Britney era in terms of singles, touring, power, earnings, and album sales (excluding the two Britney albums that were released at the end of the generation where album sales were huge that the Army brings up in every argument because they have no current receipts).

Of course not. But being proud of this would mean Britney's career is based off of that album only.

Albums*

85M(total album sales) - ...BOMT & OIDIA = 39M

Still more.

You mean because Beyonce paid for payola from 2003-2005 (i.e. the entire DiL era) and BB weighed radioplay heavily? Bey wasn't even half as big as Britney from 2000-2009

Beyoncé has to do promo non-stop? The ****? So bitter!

Oh lord! The excuses coming out of yall! That was some powerful payola those two years to completely knock out all the sales and records Brintey had the whole decade! I'm cackling!

So Britney didn't rule the charts? Ok thanks for clarification.

WTF? I already posted reasons why she didn't.

It's not like Beyonce is that much of an album seller. She may have been outselling Britney for the past 7 years but Blackout remains more lauded than any other Beyonce album in the past 7 years.

You may argue with the initial panning of Blackout but in decade end lists, Blackout became a staple as one of the best albums of the last decade.

She sold over a million until her 7th album. Britney Jean was her only flop.

Why would someone even buy ...Baby One More Time in U.S. again. They have it on albums (14,2M) + single alone (2M) + Greatest Hits (2M) = 18,2M

Well not everyone are obsessed to have more copies of it.

Why? Because they are memorable according to you. LOL. Yet again, a lot of people who bought ...Baby One More Time more than a decade ago don't use or even own the album anymore.

Staying in one place all the time doesn't help you to sell music.

Perfoming in one city isn't the same as perfoming in tens of them in each continent
What kind of logic
And how is IASF bigger than any Brit era when it hasn't sold a third of what Brit's debut did?
The delusion Is REAL

And you know that because you sneak in to 30 Million houses every night and check if they still use the album? I hope you're getting paid good because that **** is tiring.

You have no idea what you're talking. And are truly showing how bitter you are. No committee picks who wins the decade or year end awards. They are based solely off of charts and sales. Talk about trying too hard! I can't.

Oh and Beyoncé has sold hundreds of millions of records as well so.

Beyonce just got out of 2 world tours, your catalog sales excuse is completely invalid.

Also to add that no one cares about a song selling 200 copies per year, years after it's release, only a person with nothing to do with their life would investigate about that.

For the third time, Beyoncé's catalog sales have ALWAYS been stronger than Britney's. Is it that hard to understand?

And... you're really clueless about charts.

[Trent W]

Guys stop arguing with the Hive

Beyonce is just never going to pass Britney in singles or albums department. Is just never going to happen. Britney won just move on, no need to fight haha

Why did this turn into a "Which artist had better success overall" thread?

Britney has a better singles catalog. Next

So you think Bey winning that billboard award was solely for her achievements on the charts
Doesn't she like have just 5 no.1s?

Beyoncé's been outselling Britney since 2003. And at the Blackout part which was a flop (3 million for a 2007 album is bad).

And how do you explain her low catalog single sales?

We are talking about MEMORABLE singles. Can you tell me how Britney's singles can be more memorable when they have less catalog sales and streams than Beyoncé's?

Can ColdFire bring out receipts about the Greatest Hits catalogue album sales? Because if people are buying Baby One More time, for example on GH:MP, why would they still buy the single? Beyonce has no greatest hits album that will affect the sales of her hit singles. We'll also have to take into consideration if those two greatest hits albums are selling well or not.

I already said this. Pop has evolved since 1999, but can you say Beyonce's genre has evolved as significantly since her debut? Call Baby One More Time dated, for example, and unlistenable today, but would that change how memorable it is? How it defined an era? Call it nostalgia or something else shady, but do not come for how iconic it is.
