No, the only one bigger than Britney Spears is the queen of pop herself (Madonna).

Taylor Swift is really big though, only Rihanna and Katy Perry come close.

Are you saying Britney is the second most successful female artist of all time?

Currently yes overall no on US and WW levels

Not you almost quadrupling the pre-orders

Singles don't magically "not count" because the person you wanted to win lost

BJ will also have bigger streams (Madonna hasn't had a VEVO-certified video yet).

Well, at least Madonna has the tour

Then again, Britney will gross $65 in the U.S. just from a residency. How much does Madonna generally pull in in the U.S.?

I don't care about madonna enough to have this argument but Madonna is bigger her tour is bigger her album will be bigger and both thier singles flopped actually I idk if Lfl or w.e has even gone for adds yet. Whoops idk where that # came from

The roof was the same in 1999 as it was in 2012 (see: 21). The difference is Britney actually got close to the roof whereas Taylor's peak never even got halfway there.

This makes zero sense, and the "roof" in the late 90s was Come On Over's 40 million sold, which Britney barely got halfway to.

BOMT and Fearless are both the third best selling albums from their respective release years. Oops is also the 3rd best selling album from 2000 whereas Red is the 2nd best selling album from 2012. 1989 will most likely remain as the biggest selling 2014 release whereas Britney never had an album make the top 3 of any year end list again

Taylor has outdone Britney's career commercially but not in terms of celebrity status I guess

Yes. Britney was never really popular outside of North America and Europe.

Taylor is easily bigger

How is 25M barely halfway to 40M? Meanwhile Taylor did 10M (that's me being generous) compared to Adele's 28M.

BOMT also sold 8M globally from 2000-2010 and still has strong catalogue sales. Its YE position is not nearly as important when it continued to sell after 1999.

When we account for the shift in the music market, Taylor has sold 51M albums/TEAs/SEAs and is behind Rihanna from her generation. When we do the same with Britney, she's at 97M and the #1 fron her generation. The closest is Bey (including DC) with 82M. No solo female in Britney's gen is even in the 60M albums/TEAs/SEAs range. Britney ran a lap around the other girls globally whereas Taylor is still trailing behind another artist.

Second biggest pop female would be my guess.

She's behind Madonna, Celine, Mariah and Whitney, respectively.

Then why did you even comment on it?

And why make debtable claims if you don't want to discuss them?

Because you arguing Britney is bigger than Madonna is ridiculous

That's not a valid comparison either. Britney was #4 in 2001. That doesn't look like a decline, but if you were following music then you would know that it was definitely a decline. Just trying to show that this way of comparing isn't really valid.

Eminem's Recovery sold 10 million, more than any of hers. BOMT outsold Em's 2000 album and Oops did around the same. In other words, Em's starpower between 2000 and 2010 is the difference in Britney and Taylor's. That's a lot

Britney was very popular in all livable continents except Africa.

Then why isn't she a household name? Surely if your peak was so "untouchable11!!!1""force11!!1" then you should be one

Try reading it again, sis.

Since Britney came out, each of her eras in the U.S. have outdone corresponding Madonna eras. Do you not know what you were arguing about?

Do you know what a household name is? Michael Buble sells a lot of albums and concert tickets

Here in the UK, X Factor didn't even give her a proper intro for her 1989 era performance (no video intro

) and Pharell was saved for the final performance (the biggest ones go last). Pharell isn't exactly a big name, so the fact that he was saved for the end and she wasn't

You're a Gaga fan so I hope you at least know how things work on the UK X Factor since she performed here for promo several times.

Lady Gaga is a household name. Obama is a household name. Angelina Jolie is a household name.

Madonna hasn't had an era outdo a Britney era in the U.S. since Britney debuted. That is true despite the abysmal performances of FF and BJ. You're not arguing facts and I'm still not sure you know what we're arguing so let's just drop it, please.

analxspears

Britney was a WORLDWIDE PHENOMENON. AN ICON.
Taylor is a local popstar enjoying success.

Ivan_brit

The fact that anyone would even slightly think these wrong words, let alone spread the stupidity of this statement for people to read, blows my mind
