Was Britney the Bigger Artist than Beyonce during the Blackout, Circus and Femme Fatale Era?

Blackout: Gimme More, Piece of Me
Circus: Womanizer, Circus, If You Seek Amy, 3
Femme Fatale: Hold It Against Me, Till The World Ends, I Wanna Go, Scream & Shout



If not, what era did Beyonce took Britney's prime? Was it the self-titled BEYONCE in 2013?

When it comes to singles/albums I think that they were quite equal, but Britney got way more attention for obvious reasons.

Kinda equal because Gaga overshadowed them both in 2008.

Ever since Bey's solo debut, she sold more than Britney. I agree with your second part tho. Brit got a lot of attention during Blackout for obvious reasons.

IASF outsold Blackout & Circus combined and if you add Femme Fatale, the sales must be pretty equal. The fact you need to put three albums together to come at a single one says it all.

FF had bigger singles but 4 was the bigger album.
Circus was the same except for SL (?)
Beyoncé did not release during Blackout era.

In terms of media attention Britney was bigger in all three eras though.

[EtherealCat]

They were kind of similar, I think Beyonce had more commercial success overall but Britney got more attention and then Blue Ivy came along and the surprise release elevated Beyonce above Britney.

Just like we need to combine every Beyoncé album to reach BOMT sales ? It makes no sense to do so.

What the hell does it have to do with it? Britney had a bigger peak than Beyoncé and no one is saying otherwise.

Gaga was NOT bigger than the two B's in 2008

Just Dance and Poker Face were sleeper hits that exploded in 2009, and The Fame was flopping in 2008.

Anyway, I would say Britney was bigger as a Celebrity unitl 2009. Beyonce was obviously bigger in Music.

Although, in 2008 I'd argue Britney was bigger because Circus in one month sold as much as Sasha Fierce did in two months. Circus also opened with bigger numbers than Sasha Fierce and Britney always broke Ratings in 2008 (Ex. UK X Factor and How I Met Your Mother). All despite not having the hits like Beyonce which shows power imo.

Beyonce was bigger during all those era's.

That's not my point. Compare era to era it's the most fair comparaison we can have between those two. (Even though it's still not fair IASF being Bey's 3th against Britney's 6th)

[UnusualBoy]

Bey was bigger than her during either of those eras commercially speaking although Britney was the bigger celebrity for all the wrong reasons mostly during 2007-2009.

He's talking about a PERIOD so of course I'm gonna use the albums from that period.
And that's what I did, if I say you need to put together the 3 eras Britney had from 2007 to 2012 to be comparable with Bey's 2008 one, you clearly have your answer for a "IASF VS Circus" discussion.

No. B'Day outsold Blackout and had more successful singles. IASF was bigger than Circus and has bigger singles. 4 was bigger than FF.

And it makes zero sense to make every Britney's era from 2007 to 2012 compete against the one Beyoncé had in 2008.

IASF was bigger than Circus
4 had a bigger album, FF had bigger singles.
Beyoncé did not release during Blackout

Britney had the bigger media interest.

Simple no ?

B'Day was released a whole year before Blackout, y'all make 0 sense let me exit the thread

[PrettyHurts]

No she was bigger than her from 1999-2004

[Ascension]

B'Day > Blackout
IASF > Circus
4 > FF

No. You can argue for celeb/media presence during the breakdown period and single peaks/sales during the 4 era, but overall during that time span nope.
