Michael is still a more successful artist. Despite being dead, his posthumous releases are selling nearly double what Madonna's current new releases (which are heavily promoted) are selling. Add to that a Cirque tribute show that toured following his death made over $370M (and sold more tickets than any Madge concert tour) and a second residency Cirque tribute show in Las Vegas makes roughly $100M per annum... this, some 47 years after he debuted. A damn
tribute show!
Madonna's longevity really is impressive. But you have to exclude MJ if you want to say she's outlasted everyone.
