As much as I LOVE Janet , and I mean no disrespect :

[BeBeMint]

Madonna is, was, and will be bigger than Janet, forever.

[Grumpy Gills]

No clue of this is true or not, both were so impactful in my life via Britney but I wouldn't know **** about either of them if it wasn't for Britney.

Janet isn't treated as a goddess iin France mess. She is only seen as 'MJ's sister'. Everyone I know think she copied him. Madonna is def bigger.

Why did you make this thread with that title? You're not helping...

Janet and Madonna are 2 Queens and Legends.

Just because they think doesn't mean it's true. They don't know that even MJ took influence from her at times. Janet, Jimmy and Terry practically started New-Jack Swing with Control. He did it on Bad and Dangerous.

[Popboi.]

LMFAO, no.

I'm gonna assume this thread is about the US only as Madonna was obviously way bigger WW.

Where did I say it was the truth ?

I'm just reporting what I heard. I know Janet's career, thanks.

[oopsyouflopped]

So basically we've confirmed Janet slayed locally. Not on the worldwide scale like her brother or Madonna.

Got it.

[Deemy]

Janet was definitely bigger in the 90s though overall. Also Mariah slayed Madonna ever since she debuted.

[Oktober Knight]

Sure Janet was HUGE but not as big of an impact as Madonna. Maybe in the 90s but definitely not the 80s. MJ and Madonna OWNED the 80s.

Y'all only say Madonna because she still releases efforts in the 2010s and half of y'all just graduated from Middle School so I'm not expecting y'all to know what janet. released in her career unless she released a new album.

That still doesnt change the fact that CONTROL and RHYTHM nation dominated anything Madonna did in the 1980s.

Madonna's 1986 True Blue sold 25M copies, almost 11M more copies WW than Control.

Madonna's 1989 Like a Prayer sold 15M copies, about 1M more copies than Rhythm Nation 1814.

It wasn't until Janet's 1993 janet. that she outdid Madonna when she sold 20M copies WW, 14M more copies than Madonna's 1992 Erotica and 13M more than her 1994 Bedtime Stories.

Madonna's 1998 Ray of Light doubled Janet's 1997 The Velvet Rope.

Music outsold all of Janet's subsequent album releases to date.

[Giancor]

lol NO

[oopsyouflopped]

The only thing Mimi has slayed is the buffet. Madonna outsold her worldwide and don't even get me started on tour gross.

No comparison, lolz.

[T.C]

I find it funny Britney fans of all people are trying it with the "local" comments when their fave is the definition of that nowadays.

Britney Jean

Her lack of recurrent airplay internationally

Being reduced to a Vegas act

[Shigo]

MADONNA is bigger than her NOW. And that is a testament to ha!!!!!!

I'm not sure why Britney stans even try it

Britney 14 years in: Britney Jean (600k allegedly)
Janet 15 years in: All For You (7 million copies)



It was 3x easier to sell albums in 2001 compared to 2013, but still
