I'm a huge fan of both but statistics aside, Janet Jackson's impact alone eclipses Taylor Swift's entire existence.

That's not even half of her discography though

It's a 20 point gap and they a each have 4 albums there.
Also Taylor's won more grammys
Actually won an AOTY
She has 4 more amas
Will surpass Janet in bMas next month 3 left
Won more peoples choice awards
Janet has a globe though while Taylor's only had 2 nominations.

Janet channeled Madonna and TVR is more acclaimed than anything Taylor has ever done

Cute. Janet was huge in the 80s, the second artist of the 90s after Mariah, and was huge until 2004 (Nipplegate). You can come back with that argument when Taylor has a 15+ year career and is still getting #1s

Janet's impact >>>> anything Taylor has done. And this is coming from a Taylor stan

Sorry, but on a WW scale, Janet was not even the second biggest female of the 90s, let alone artist overall

Madonna, Mariah, Whitney, Celine and Shania were all bigger than her in that decade. And even then you also have ...Baby One More Time being a bigger era than anything Janet Jackson has ever released, and artists like Cher who started much earlier than she did just had a bigger hit than anything to come from Janet Jackson´s discography

Nipplegate alone has had more impact than the majority of Taylor's career.

Not one stan wants their fave to have enough "impacT!!!!111!!" to kill their own career. Janet can keep that one all for herself

Wow at anyone who voted for Taylor.

Keep your little numbers, but Janet is the one who pushed boundaries, had complex and raw music, influenced a whole generation of performers alongside Madonna and so on. It's not even close.

Shania was a global one album wonder in the 90's. Her first two albums were the definition of local.

Janet was much bigger culturally and not to mention touring (where she also slayed Whitney too).

Before this era
Since then she has tripled her number one count
And who cares about airplay stats when you're the best selling singles artist in the United States and have sold well over 100m digital tracks worldwide

Janet has thrice as much number ones
That's The Way Love Goes spent more weeks on top of the charts than any Taylor song
It's funny and ironic Taylor stans would call Janet local
Together again was a bigger global hit than any Taylor song ever

Janet sold 80-84 million

That person bought up WW success and i just stated Shania's first two albums were local statistically speaking.

Most of Janet's sales were coming outside the states.

The Queen of Pop, Taylor Swift.

A one album wonder that sold more albums in the 90s than Janet, and that also had a few classics in it (Man! I Feel Like A Woman, From This Moment On, You´re Still The One. The first one also happens to be bigger than anything Janet Jackson ever released). Lets not even forget the fact that Shania´s music is way more remembered these days than Janet´s is

You do realize that Janet is the reason a YouTube exists? Right?
Like Shania won't have those views if not for Janet's existence

Right. She had a lot of impact with that one. Meanwhile Shania stays being the bigger artist with her hits being remembered in real life!

38 Million vs 40 million

Close, but no

, and that also had a few classics in it (Man! I Feel Like A Woman, From This Moment On, You´re Still The One. The first one also happens to be bigger than anything Janet Jackson ever released)

.

Oh, it sold more than the 6 million seller Together Again?

Your opinion and completely off topic. We are talking about bigger in the 90's.

None of those songs sold as much globally as Together Again though. Pretty sure most of those songs have better views than Madonna's too. Guess that means she was bigger than her!!

Loved how you ignored my cultural impact and touring mentions too

Was Shania performing in front of 100k people in Africa on the Come On Over like Janet did in her TVR tour? Did she have any iconic moments outside music like Janet's rolling stone cover? (which is still a staple in pop culture today).

Thought so.

How does she stay the bigger artist when Janet has inspired more upcoming and already established artists? Janet pioneered a new genre that became a trend, has Shania ever been able to do that?
Does Shania have a costume as iconic and as remembered as Janet's Rhythm Nation costume or an image as iconic as her Rolling Stone cover?
Neither Shania nor Taylor have been able to come close to the artistic impression Janet has.
Like a rolling stone, Hey Jude e.t.c don't have a lot of views on YouTube, doesn't mean they're any less remembered.
I mean Kendric Lamar just last year or so sampled her song on his album
