I mean, Thriller alone is more memorable than all of Madonna her albums put together. And this is actually true and not an ATRL-stan delusion a la "Born To Die is the most iconic album of this decade!!!!1111!!!".
Thriller is more iconic than any other person's album in general not just Madonna. The barometer can't be MJ & The Beatles because which artist can top them?
Madonna:
Holiday, Like A Virgin, Material Girl, Papa Don't Preach, La Isla Bonita, Like A Prayer, Vogue, Music, Don't Tell Me, Hollywood, Hung Up, Sorry, 4 Minutes
Mariah:
All I Want For Christmas Is You, Hero
Janet songs:
N/A
And I was born in 1997
To be fair I'm really oblivious to music pre-2005 and even I knew Madonna was more iconic when I was like 8

You ARE right that MJ beats Madonna in some stats, like album sales, or number of children robbed of their innocence forever.
Madonna: Like a Virgin, Papa Don't Preach, Like a Prayer, Express Yourself, Vogue, Human Nature, Ray of Light, Frozen, Music, Die Another Die, Hung Up, 4 Minutes
I'm so mad @ her for ruing the era. From the American Idol thing that made ppl hate her to the awful performances and then releasing the album like a year late. :/
hmmm @ SHITPLAUSE, biggest flop of our millennium, hailed as the careerending piece of ****, worst song ever, etc. debuting more than Rih's long awaited new smash...? ft Kanshit + saggy tranny.
Mariah's only remembered songs are the christmas song, Fantasy, and WBT. Everything else is just generic 90's r&b music that can't be discerned from each other.
