Britney never swept awards, only had 1 #1 hit those 5 years, never had a top-selling album of the year, never had a huge tour during that time, so she never swept the world.

Yes she was huge socially and in media, in the same way Justin Bieber is. However, that doesn't equate to ruling the world.

She sold enough albums in three years to be top ten for the best-selling female artists of all-time. What is this delusion?

And she only had one #1 single in the U.S. due to releasing so few physical singles. OIDIA set a record for first week pop radio play and could've been an easy #1 debut if she wanted to focus on singles.

Then again, she got over 30 #1s globally in those first five years so it's not like she lacked hit singles

What Can I say about Christina? She doesn't have a tour since 2006.

No. Taylor is just someone successful. Taylor has never been controversial. Taylor has least impact compare to Britney.

Britney was definitely a trend setter in pop music from Slave 4 U, to Toxic, then the Blackout album and Hold It Against me.
She never gets the credit for that, but she influenced the sound of mainstream multiple times.

What trends did she start with Slave and Blackout, exactly? If anything, she followed trends with them.

I think we're incredibly happy with her legend status in 2015 and the success she's piling on to her already incredible receipts already. Stay pressed

Christina's non-U.S. peak album, Stripped, is included.

And Britney was released in November 2001 (it sold 8M from 2002 on) but I didn't need to include Britney's third best-selling album for her to outsell Christina.

If it makes you feel better, IFPI has Britney at 27.9M and that's not counting her remixes or non-official compilations.

Fact is:
Britney > Stripped
GH:MP > B2B
Britney Jean > Lotus

using a greatest hits album that came out 2 years before B2B
it didn't even outsell B2B
britney jean had a bigger week, but lotus sold more total albums

fact is Xtina outsold britney for most 2002-now.
and considering how Xtina is still capable to sell well (say something) and britney can't (pretty girls), it's only a matter of a short time until Legend X completely eclipses britney whole career

Femme Fatale = 2 Lotus + 1 Bionic.

She didn't promote blackout. So, I won't talk about this album

Stahp. You think Kanye's a trendsetter. You can sit there in your $500 tracksuit that makes you look homeless while Taylor Swift comes on the radio with another Max Martin track designed to capitalize on the phenomenon that was Britney Spears and pretend she set no trends all you want, but it won't change anything

It has been almost a decade since "Legend X" has been relevant. Stop.

Excluding Stripped, all of "Legend X"'s albums have either tremendously flopped or saw mediocre success. In what way will she eclipse Britney.

Kanye West IS a trendsetter--especially in hip-hop. He's now influencing pop acts as well. Listen to Pia Mia's new song Touch. The production is very Yeezus-inspired.

You think Britney is a legend. That is a joke in itself. I love Brit, but some of yall make her look so bad. Leave the delusional stanning for the "Legend X" fans.
