That's what I was making fun of, sis.

Listen to HyunA's "Bubble Pop" or watch Maroon 5's "Moves Like Jagger" after listening to "Hold It Against Me," "I Wanna Go" and "How I Roll."

Why would I want to listen to any of those terrible songs?

The country that matters, the country where you all love to bring up the 1999 diamond album


And NOPE. Bey and DC were BOTH in the top 10.

So? It was still the biggest hit of the year and even if you are rationalizing why it was named the biggest, you just said she had 8 weeks at number one in 2007. Did Britney?

I'm not a Britney stan. I'm with you, swiss

If we are not supposed to use DC stats then Britney should not be compared to Beyoncé until 2003. In which case it only strengthens the amount of years Beyoncé was on top.

Yeah and Britney sold 85 million albums and Bey 35 million albums, so there's that

Every year after 2003= Beyoncé.

Irrelevant in a discussion of year-by-year comparisons. Don't you think?

No one is claiming Beyoncé sold more overall.

Well since 1998 Beyonce with DC has sold more records overall.

This!

Remember beyonce's fame now, is what Britney had in the early 00s.

Britney just struggled to stay consistent.
They're both legends, I don't know why their stans fight so much.

Got me there I guess. I could play the Bey's pregnancy card but I'm not that petty.

And mess at you thinking Run The World is only used by the hive

Well if you guys wanna compare Britney's weakest years where she was inactive, injured and mentally unstable to the same years Bey was promoting ALL over the place all her material, you can have that, the embarrassing thing is that Bday and DIL didn't outsold by much to ITZ and Greatest Hits, not even with those extremely unfair circumstances.

4 - 46 weeks on the chart
FF - 31 weeks on the chart, "with hits"

I also want to know why it's always Hive vs Army. Bey and Brit even worked together at one point.

Yall need to stop putting DC records into Beyonce records.

Kelly also had fans and Michelle also had fans, don't assume everybody liked destiny's child just because of beyonce.

That doesn't involve Beyonce as a solo artist, she can't take credit alone for those sales.

Someone's taking this a little too personal

Does this thread not say from 1998 - 2015? Correct me if I'm wrong?

I know it's unfair, but are we simply going to discount Beyoncé's success because Britney was going through stuff? We can't pretend those years didn't exist just because Britney was inactive.

And it's not embarrassing that B'Day only outsold those two by a little. It still outsold it.
