Fact is, no one remembers "4" today because Beyonce couldn't tour, promote (as much as she typically does) or get a memorable song out of it. If "Love On Top" or "Run the World" performances were so memorable, the singles wouldn't have flopped AND the album would have sold more than it did at the time. So to say that "4" is memorable when it was never really remembered outside of its initial promotional slots in the first place is false.
Adele has proven that unconventional songs can slay regardless, surely the King B could validate those facts - but the public has said otherwise. The music isn't as "timeless" as some B stans may convince you it is.
Britney toured worldwide, and had four back-to-back hit singles that all peaked within the Top 7 and sold an healthy amount of copies worldwide. Femme Fatale was critically acclaimed for leading the charge into the future of music, unlike of "4" which was drowned out in melodramatic ballads and paying too much homage to the past.
Both albums are in the sales ballpark range WW, so sales isn't really a deciding factor.
Artists like Kelly Clarkson, Taio Cruz, Selena Gomez, etccc are already covering "Femme Fatale" songs....in Kelly's case, a YEAR after the album's release.

Oh..that's different..because if we compare Britney eras..well that's another history.
But if we compare FF with 4...ok...the answer is obvious...nobody remember 4...it had zero hit singles.
Britney had 3 hits and sold million of singles plus the sucess of her global tour.

If it's so easy than why couldn't beyonce or some of your faves do it with their singles?

Both of these posts are delusional in their own sense. FF did not have 4 top 7 singles. FF did not lead to a change in music. FF was incredibly safe and pretty generic. Not to say the songs were bad but they did not make way for the future. Dubstep was already becoming popular whether Britney included it or not in HIAM. It's like crediting Ke$ha for the 'Love Yourself' songs because she was the first one to release it as a single even though Gaga had been talking about it for a year plus and wrote BTW a while ago. It's also like how people credit Gaga for Dance music getting popular. It was already becoming big whether Gaga was apart of the industry or not.

Maybe it's because I live in the UK and Beyonce's a lot bigger here but 4 just seems more memorable to me but neither eras were memorable really. I don't really care though. I enjoy both 4 and FF and will continue to even if everyone else has forgotten about them.

No it's not. You're acting like getting all those certifications is some easy feat yet your faves AINT seeing them so they can't be. It has everything to do with the conservation.

The VMA tribute for Britney in which Gaga dressed as a man made lots of jokes about that and by the time Britney finally got onstage she said "thanks here's Beyonce" who anounces she's pregnant and becomes the biggest newstory and twitter topic for a long time.
I think 4 and FF are about in the same boat TBH. Neither of those were smash eras for either artists but that's just the nature of the business because of how long into their career they are. They've already reached their peak, made their mark and already have a distinct sound.

I love Avril and all of GL but let's be real here, she isn't a smashing hit nowadays.

WYWH was top 10 (nearly top 5) and as or my faves. Avril underperformed massively with her last era. Lady Gaga and Katy did get them certifications easily. Ke$ha and Taylor aren't that huge outside the US especially when it comes to Taylors singles sales. All Time Low aren't really that popular anywhere. I've been through Britney. I'm not delusional about my faves. You should try it. Anyway this thread has nothing to do with any of them except Britney and Gaga so lets keep it cute.

Femme Fatale will definitely be forgotten the easiest. Lack of promotion, a much smaller media profile by Britney, and no MASSIVE hits U.S. or worldwide.
4 didn't have any big hits either, but had two huge performances, her pregnancy to keep the public interested, and critical acclaim on its side. I also think that at least at this point, 4 will be remembered as Beyoncé's best album, while FF is somewhere in the middle of Britney's discography.

I didn't say she was smashing but GL was successful in South Korea. It flopped in Europe and the US though. I accept that.
