Prism created hits, Beyoncé didn't.
Both have album sales but Prism will start outselling Beyonce WW this week even though it's released earlier, so PRISM.

But it's also sold less so far...........even though it's released earlier.

Prism is the bigger era. The album is having success in the US and it's not doing bad WW, has 2 #1 singles so far and a top 15 hit, probably many other successful singles to come, the tour is doing well...

The BEYONCÉ era is doing extremely well albums wise but singles wise not as much so I give Katy the edge.

PRISM by FAR

I accidentally voted Beyonce

PRISM era. #1 album, 2 #1 singles, 1 Top 15 single, impending #1 single, WW success, increase in global star power, WW smash tour, etc.

BEY has done incredibly well too for sure, but she falls short to Katy. The only thing she really has on her is the surprise release and hype around that.

at you forgetting beyonce's completely sold out world tour + making top 10 of highest grossing tours in history.

It's supposed to end up being calculated at 225M-230M. Which is where Gaga's Monster tour is at.

Beyonce.

Beyoncé. Katy continues to fall (11k this week compared to Bey's 15k) and Bey has already outsold her in the US and WW.

That's because Katy's hype from Dark Horse is down, and she needs a new single.
Beyonce is riding of the hype from the tour + Partition.

Meanwhile, Beyonce puts out singles that sell the album. Not sell the single.
She's been like that since 2008. She gets a hit every so often but her singles mainly sell the album.

You mean 2011.
Single Ladies came out in 2008 and Halo slayed in 2009.

a) The Mrs. Carter World Tour isn't part of the Beyonce era.
b) We don't know how well the PRISM tour is going to do.
c) Beyonce is doing another tour to support the Beyonce album. If anything, the Mrs Carter tour was more associated with the 4 era.

No. She released heaps of singles in the IASF era but she only got a hit "every so often" as I quoted.

"If I Were a Boy"
"Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)"
"Diva"
"Halo"
"Ego"
"Sweet Dreams"
"Broken-Hearted Girl"
"Video Phone"
"Why Don't You Love Me"

Only the ones in bold could be considered major hits.

Except the 2014 part of the tour rearranged it's set-list completely to perform songs from the new album.

[Wafflecakes]

WW Prism for sure.

USA it is probably about tied. Katy crushing Bey in singles, but Bey winning in albums.

The amount of ignorance in this line.



Do you have a source for that upcoming tour?

Your point? She had 2 hits back to back in 2008. That's enough. Did you expect her to smash EVERY single she put out that era?
Just leave it at she's been like that since 2011, because you're not making sense trying to stand by your 2008 sentiment.

1 leg =/= whole tour.

With this logic, the tour for Rated R is also the Loud tour when it overlapped

The twins confirmed a new tour is on the way.

No. You didn't read at all.

I said she has a hit every so often, but not every song is a hit because her singles sell the album. So you're basically saying exactly what I said in the first place

So I basically said since 2008 she has occasional hits (Single Ladies, Halo, Love On Top, DIL etc.) but her singles can't be compared to Katy because Beyonce sells the album.

Bey never named her tour after an era nor was she exclusively touring 4, so no, that is not the logic I'm using.

You said it's not a part of the era when all she's been doing this era was touring.
She could of done dozens of televised performances to promote her singles/album like Katy, but no... She's been on tour...

[Mayonnaise]

BEYONCE is ahead in terms of album sales, tour and cultural impact.

The only 2 singles she had in 2008 was IIWAB and SL.
Go figure.
