Again, I wasn't talking about Eminem, you brought him up, like you're doing for the sales, after you just said impacT > sales, so by this logic Kanye, with his MBDTF, should be #1 .
Lol @ the fumes. Mad because two random men are more educated about this than a bunch of twinks with poor taste in music. Excellent list Billboard. Beyonce's always been counted out, even before her solo career started. and she's always proven her naysayers wrong. And isn't it interesting that someone who doesn't jump on dance-pop trends can build her empire to be bigger than every radio puppet who does. And with a genre that most of the world doesn't use unless you put a certain race's face on it.
Katy and Gaga should've been above Nicki and possibly Drake, and Rihanna should've replaced Kendrick or Arcade Fire but other than that,
I agree with everyone in the top 10!
