I get it, you think Janet created music and has influenced every pop star alive and her career eclipses that of everyone in existence. That's your opinion. But if we base our opinions on actual facts and logic you'll see that Beyonce has actually had more impact on society and the modern pop star than Janet ever has. All due respect to Janet but she is overrated.
There is a reason why Single Ladies, Crazy In Love, Irreplaceable etc are still referenced 10+ years later and none of Janet's are. Beyonce has been named the most influential musician almost every single year since her debut. She has more awards than Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson and Celine Dion. There's a reason why Beyonce is able to sell out stadiums 19 years in the game. Her career just eclipses that of Janet Jackson.

You always assume I'm including DC
Bey has sold 130 million records SOLO and 60 million with DC. If I were to group them together she'd be at 180-190 million but obviously that's not fair. Janet has only sol 90-100 million records. Either way Beyonce wins.

Janet's career lasted from 1986-2004. That's 18 years and I'm being very generous lol. Bey is already at her 19th year of career success. Having a #1 album literally means nothing anymore when people like Drake can sell 18k and manage to be #1
"Going strong"
that album literally sold < 300k copies WW
Hell no.
