At the end of the day. Many sources have classified Mariah as the most successful artists of all time. Music Box has out sold any album Britney has released. She is mentioned anytime anything remotely related to vocals are mentioned. Mariah has the respect, awards, impact, sales...Etc It may seem like Britney has major impact because she's still a lot more active in the pop world at the moment.

A better comparison would be Mariah vs Madonna.

Nope. "...Baby One More Time" sold 25 million (2007 receipts) and shipped 30 million.

A better comparison would be Britney VS. Madonna, the two ultimate Pop queens. Mariah was to Madonna what Christina was to Britney.

Some you Mariah stans arnt even bothering to see what the question asks. The question isn't who has more respect, talent, more influence, it's whos more iconic.

And I admitted Britney was...because she has had more impact on pop culture than Mariah. Mariah has had a lot of impact, but I think Britney has had more

Just when 2011 seemed like it would birth more of the same old, watered-down dance-pop, Britney Spears brings current trends to their knees. In her new single, “Hold It Against Me,” Spears has brought the underground dubstep genre into the mainstream. While it is indeed too early to tell what may happen next, I predict that dubstep will increasingly be incorporated into new pop hits. Britney’s new song is the first true mainstream dubstep track. “Hold It Against Me” would probably be classified as pop-dubstep and I wouldn’t be surprised if that term becomes ubiquitous. It may be wishful thinking to believe that one song can change the sound of pop music, but it’s been done before by Britney herself. Britney has been known to go against the grain and be experimental — Blackout’s “Piece of Me” for instance. Despite some negative popular opinion surrounding her, credit must be given where it is due. Britney could very well start the pop-dubstep genre. —Pitchfork

I'd say Britney. Not based on loads of facts but just the fact that I barely ever hear anything about Mariah outside this thread

[GaGaFan]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

This is a tough one.

For the overall impact that she has made on media and music as a whole, I would say Britney.

But this was extraordinarily close.

Spice Girls.

Destiny's Child will live on through Beyonce's legacy though.

There's no doubt that I love DC more than any other girl band, but Spice Girls are just the EPITOME of girl bands.

Hers was a big deal, or at least in my area. People are still playing that album during this holiday season. I meant to quote both of you but I guess I only quoted yours. I'm saying Mariah is not totally out of the game. Her most recent album is still sorta alive, even if it's just because of the holiday season.
