Are you really comparing the likes of DIL (iconic album) and Crazy in Love (iconic song) to this Taylor era that will be forgotten by the time she releases another album?

1989 sold over 2.7M copies outside USA and still counting and it's not even a year

It hasn't outsold IASF or DIL
It hasn't had a single sell as much as SL or IIWAB
It hasn't received as many awards as IASF

I'm confused

So no

[Aleks]

Perhaps I was wrong and it already is bigger than any Beyonce era.

[prézli]

Bigger tour? I didn't even know she has a tour now.

[M A R C]

1989 isn't on it's way to become an iconic album.
It hasn't produced any iconic songs.
No iconic videos.

So no.

[Penny.]

yes

Shake It Off and Blank Space say hi.

I wonder if 1989 gives Taylor her 2nd Grammy's AOTY

I said iconic songs that will be remembered years from now, not successful.

It already is, bigger album, bigger singles and soon bigger tour.

That's cute, she still made $60m from 15 dates on her solo Stadium Tour, and will effortlessly outgross Beyonce with 1/3 of her dates..

No one is denying that 1989 is big. But it's only bigger in the US & a few other countries than IASF or DIL. & it doesn't have any singles bigger than SL or IIWAB. Funny how ya'll always drag Bey for being "local" but it's all of a sudden a different story now.

Shake It Off almost a year on BBH100 while Blank Space's mv still gaining strong views tell something

I prefer CIL to any of Taylor's pop songs but it did not even go No1 in many markets:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crazy_...certifications

and Single Ladies fared even worse:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single..._on_It)#Charts

so yeah, I guess Taylor is more global/successful at this point.

Beyoncé did over 110m with 19 dates in her stadium tour

Probably. give it till the end of the year

Pitbull goes #1 in a lot of countries, does that mean his songs are remembered?

Check on It hit #1 on the hot 100. Halo peaked at #5. Which song is bigger? which song is more remembered?

[superben]

The Hives combine receipts from Bey's entire career (album sales from one, singles from another, tour from even another, etc.) to argue against 1989 which is one single era.

[KillingYourCareer]

No, not even close to IASF. In my country the era ended before Style was released.
