SeanET Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 16 hours ago, ThirdWardBey said: Beyoncé’s total UK certs without any collaborations: 17,920,000 Lady Gaga’s total UK certs without any collaborations: 16,760,000 Looks like the loser loses again. The difference is Beyoncé can still scan certifications across the board with or without a feature whilst it looks like Gaga falls behind in that department as noted by ROM having more certified units than Chromatica and all of it’s other tracks combined. Because it is an Ariana-assisted collab. Chromatica without ROM: Chromatica: Gold (100k) Stupid Love: Gold (400k) Total: 500k Positions: Positions (song): Platinum (600k) Positions (album): Gold (100k) 34+35: Platinum (600k) POV: Silver (200k) Motive: Silver (200k) Total: 1.7M We can clearly see who needed it more.

Jessie Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 15 hours ago, swissman said: What? The Fame (Gaga's first album) came out less than 2 years after B'Day (Beyoncé's second). And as mentioned, Beyoncé has far more singles that are collaborations than Gaga's so this 30 vs. 50 thing evens out a bit more in the stats that was being compared specifically. Of course albums can gain sales over time, but I mean after 15+ years are they gaining THAT much? It's small additions that add up, okay, but I don't think a five year difference is such a huge advantage. If we want to talk about advantages, let's also mention how Lemonade was off streaming for 3 years, in which time I doubt people were buying up the singles as much as they would have been streaming them, contributing to their certifications. The Fame wasn’t released in the U.K. until April 2009. This topic is really ultimately very pointless, Beyoncé and Lady Gaga are two of the most famous women in the U.K., who wins in units divided by time or whatever is splitting hairs.

swissman Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 14 hours ago, Blade said: All y’all are doing is comparing every era to Chromatica without ROM. Same thing y’all did with ASIB without Shallow bc Bradley somehow assisted in selling the music. Gaga is always judged by made up standards but I guess that’s what you get when you’re making hits like Shallow and ROM 10+ years into your career. Others can’t relate without a remix. Well still that's not a five year difference, and I'm sure the singles were out in the UK prior to 2009, right? Anyway I agree this back-and-forth is weird. I originally even deleted my original comment here but since it was quoted I replied...maybe I shouldn't have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, ok, Ariana helped the song being a hit, but you cannot completely erase the song's units Such a dumb logic. 2 hours ago, SeanET said: Born This Way is weeks from hitting 2x Platinum (+600k), followed by ARUTW also 2x (+600k) and Bad Romance hitting 3x (+600k). That's an extra +1.8m to add to Gaga's total, and all with solo songs, so Gaga's will surpass Beyonce's solo units in a matter of months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, do you happen to have a live unit tracker for Born This Way, Always Remember Us This Way, and Bad Romance's UK units to back up those claims? Because otherwise you're making the assumption that Beyoncé will have no new UK certifications within the same time period when she just added two yesterday. Gaga will never surpass Beyoncé's certified UK units and that is okay. Argue with someone outside of the top ten, where Gaga remains. 4 = Beyoncé 5,020,000 19,400,000 24,420,000 11 -1 Lady Gaga 4,360,000 14,600,000 18,960,000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The others are estimates since we dont have official numbers but considering BR and ARUTW are both doing great on streaming on a daily basis, its bound to happen. Not you pulling out the solo units just to go back to overall units now when I told you gaga will get massive certifications soon And Gaga IS in the top 10 with the latest PF certification, the OP hasnt been updated yet.
