Which was the bigger era?

The Fame Monster or 1989.

[HolyKatyPerry]

1989

[XStaticProcess]

The Fame Monster

[Mecano]

1989:

GRAMMY for Album of the Year
3 #1 Hits
1 million debut week

[Squall]

1989 did not need another album to sell. 2 albums vs 1 is not fair at all.

[Clueless]

What were TFM's first week sales ww?

[theREALslimSHADY]

lol 1989 was bigger, and its even more impressive considering TFM era was an album + an EP.

[Catch22]

1989

[SelenaTheWinner]

1989.

[Trent W]

I prefer TFM a lot more.

But Taylor had more success with 1989, the only thing that TFM is over the 1989 era is the impact, but the rest is in favor of 1989.

[Sheena]

1989 by far, lol.

The album sold more
The tour grossed more with far less dates
More acclaim

[Almost Home]

1989 is the obvious choice.

[slobro]

TFM worldwide. Way more global hits (Just Dance, Poker Face, Bad Romance, Telephone while 1989 only had Shake It Off and Blank Space) and more global album sales

1989 was bigger in US, Canada, and Australia only, it didn't even do that well anywhere else

[Optimus]

The Fame Monster! Bad Romanc alone>>>>>>>>>>>

[romonster]

The Fame Monster was much bigger worldwide. This is not up for debate.

What a ridiculous and transparent comparison though. Both multi-GRAMMY winners had huge eras.

[monsterLd]

1989. Sometimes being the biggest isn't the best because she's annoying AF.

[Ramos]

US = 1989
WW = The Fame Monster

[Cathryn Hudson]

1989.

[Redstreak]

Easily 1989

[EdgeOfAddiction]

The Fame Monster. We saw the rise and complete dominance of one Pop star in a landscape saturated with already big names.
Taylor had no competition for 1989 from any of the veterans. Just the up and coming Disney stars. It was much easier for Taylaor to "feel" bigger and "dominate" more with 1989.
