Same thing is going to happen to Beyonce because while she did seem like a legend in 2013, soon she won't be able to sell that well and her legendary status won't have much backup behind it.
It's just the way it is.

There is ONE crucial difference:
The younger generation. The upcoming talents. The stars of tomorrow. ALL of them have explicitely stated how Beyonce has influenced their lives, how Beyonce became the standard they aspire to be like. And we're not talking about people showing love or saying they listened to her when they were kids, we are talking about people refering to her CRAFT when talking about her. Adele gushing about her in her first interviews after 3 years, Chris Martin saying how she is the Queen because her voice can actually take on any emotion they want her to deliver, Ariana Grande practicing her runs by listening to Beyonce, Drake refering to her as the best artist on this planet, Rihanna stating she aspires to be like Beyonce, etc..
They don't refer to her because of her looks, because of some bops, because shes stylish. They refer to her because shes perceived as PERFECTION, her craft is inspirational to these people. People who want to be successful in the music industry.
This, my dear Army, is the major difference between Britney and Beyonce.
