Madonna is a tribute act at this point. Barbara Streisand is selling more than her nowadays. All she has left are a few sales from the 80s. In the present day her career is dead
barbra's album was local, full of old songs, adult contemporary, critically panned and full of duets with other artists
Madonna at 30 was just about to enter one of her biggest eras (RoL). Gaga at 30... struggling jazz artist, hated by the masses, unable to score hits, Bjork-type star power. WTF?
