And can you make a decision, either she has the stronger singles or not. If she had such strong singles she would've had the radio support for them, that Beyoncé's singles seemed to have.

So I guess the answer to the thread is Beyoncé.

Not to come in between the discussion y'all are having, but Britney purposly didn't release physical singles back in the day (so that her album sales could excell (albums make more money))

To top it off she had a radio ban


So it would it was pretty much impossible for her to chart, and she still managed to have top 10s, which is actually impressive

You're quite right about this. But still, it's not great compared to B'Day.

It outsold "In The Zone," yes. But that's because almost half of it's sales comes from the United States. Beyonce didn't stop Britney from being the biggest global star, Britney did herself. Today, Britney would still be miles above Beyonce had she taken her career seriously like Beyonce does.

Not when Blackout was inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and B'Day wasn't.

Things have changed but still, if you put the two side by side. Would Crazy in Love sound as dated in today's market as say Baby One More Time in their respective genres?

Yes. It would actually. No one is making music that sounds like Crazy In Love right now.

The other is even more dated because it was fad.

And so? Does something in the past become less iconic and "strong" because it isn't as current anymore? Please.

Well, if they're that memorable [more than Beyoncé], they should be bigger than Beyoncé's singles. But, hey, they're not.

Half of ITZ came from one country. Name one country where ITZ sold 2 million copies. I'll wait.

I mean, Britney sold 9m albums in a year, and then the following year, she sold another 6.5m albums. That is a total of 15.5m albums sold in the span of two years.

The Spice Girls started it 1996-1998, followed by the Backstreet Boys and Britney's team followed it. That's not REINTRODUCING.

The Spice Girls and Backstreet Boys were slaying at pretty much the same time, and it wasn't subsequent.
The Spice Girls didn't even release music in 98, and by then the likes of Brandy and Monica were slaying the charts with more urban songs.

Sadly, the GP isn't aware of this as most people absolutely don't remember Blackout.

"In The Zone" only went 2x plat (maybe 3x plat?) in the US, and sold 9m in total. That is the true definition of being "global."

She was banned from the radio. And you are saying why I use immature names.

And I'm sorry for calling you dump, I was so annoyed and anxious when did you post something before that isn't true.

Britney couldn't have had a career like Beyoncé. It's the truth.

You don't have to explain to me that albums make more money. I stan for Beyoncé. She realizes that fact very well.

Like you said she still had top 10's. Overall it all just wasn't enough for her.

Where are the Army pulling out these numbers from?!? ITZ (Britney's last multi-platinum in the US), only managed to scan 2.8M, considering the music market was much healthier back then. Majority of it's sales was from the US.

ITZ sold 3,3M in US while WW it sold 8-8,5M.

US - 3,3M
Rest - 4,7-5,2M

You're right, it most likely would have been much bigger.
