"BEYONCÉ" was a bigger phenomenon, but "PRISM" will have the longevity and eventually be "remembered more" because the singles will keep the album and era alive longer. That's why I'm always going on about wanting
Beyoncé to have top ten hits, because, regardless of whether you want to accept it or not, in today's music climate, single sales are just as important, or even moreso, than album sales. That's what the public latches onto most. Successful artists shouldn't be "above" making a few mainstream singles to maintain public interest. It only comes off pretentious. Additionally, fans should avoid trying to downplay other artists who sell singles well. It only comes off passive aggressive.

both are close.
