Beyoncé didn’t have a global era like Oops or even ITZ until Sasha Fierce. She was way too busy making cute sample features with her future husband. Irreplaceable was her first global classic, SF brought her at least three more. That was the meteoric era, the repeak 15 years into her career that set the path for Beyoncé to rule the 10s.

Giorgoc Posted May 3, 2022 Posted May 3, 2022 Compared to all her peers she's the greatest one, and it's not even close.

But she was a lot bigger in the 2010s. Her career just got bigger and bigger until Lemonade. Her prime imo was 2013-2016. Never seen a combination of starpower and legend status combined so well. 31 minutes ago, Mystic Boy said: Beyoncé been outselling her ever since CIL intro took the world by storm in 2003 Crazy In Love sweetie......

DIL did outsell ITZ but that era was cut short because her knee accident, britney sold another 5m units with the album Greatest Hits: My Prerogative, that same year. ITZ was insanely big anyway. And well after that Blackout and Circus were under her meltdown and conservationship, so she was really not herself anymore. She still outsold everyone in the 00s which is what the topic is about.

Too many ifs, at the end of the day ,Britney dominated from 1999 to 2003 and Beyoncé from her debut album to this day making her the Greatest and most successful Popstar of this generation with the biggest longevity, like there's no debate 5 minutes ago, dirrtydiana said: Like the bomt intro took the world by storm in 1999? bey outsold 4th era Britney not Britney in general so stop saying it as if cil charted #1 in every country it charted it like baby and if like bey had more diamond albums than brit ot: duh It's cute but still doesn't change the fact that Beyonce eclipsed her since her debut album and no amount of huge peak in 1999 will change that Beyoncé dominated since 2003 all through the 10s and that is a proof of being the best ,Greatest popstar of her generation..
Gorjesspazze9 Posted May 3, 2022 Posted May 3, 2022 Yes she is. Considering she had every aspect of a Main Pop Girl on lock in the 2000’s and was the Top 1. 2000 was the last major year for CD’s to be selling Several million copies physically before Napster took over. And the only artist that outsold her that year was *NSYNC and Eminem. This was literally when you had to go out and by the CD’s and Digitals/Streaming didn’t matter. Basically meaning 8 million individuals had to go out and buy her product. Of course through the 90’s many artist were also selling Diamond records, but that still is insane for a Bubblegum pop singer. ?I think people forget how stuffed 1999-2001 was with pop culture. It was it’s own mini- Golden age for Pop artist. OIDIA impact literally raise most of the millennial Superstars we love today. Even stars that aren’t Rihanna level but we’re impactful during the 2000’s, like Hilary Duff admit it. it wasn’t even her biggest album but if you listen to mid-2000’s pop music you can hear the influences like crazy. Listen to Knock on my door and tell me you don’t hear Rihanna?! Kesha and Gaga are obvious choices as well. It’s pretty clear that many of these women in music grew up to Britney. I’m so tired of people acting like she doesn’t have impact?♀️The only girl that could rival her iconicness in the 2000’s was Beyoncé. This is just a fact. They were the faces and sounds that pushed pop music as the dominant genre of Y2K and beyond
Slayn Posted May 3, 2022 Posted May 3, 2022 8 hours ago, swissman said: It really depends on how you define great and how you define a generation. I can see how Britney would certainly fit this description though. She represents late 1990s-early-2000s pop more than any other act, did pop so well and to an excellent degree that blended not only extreme charisma and liveability, but also phenomenal performing talent, a distinctive, recognizable voice that works with pop productions so well, AND the iconic-factor that makes a TRUE pop icon.

Eclipse actually is the right metaphor
swissman Posted May 3, 2022 Posted May 3, 2022 It's really a tie and any big attempts to outright deny the possibility of the other taking this title looks a bit silly to me.

It's not even a tie sis , like the stats and facts are there Beyoncé been the superior and most successful Popstar with the biggest longevity since 2003 to this day , 20 years of stompin now compare Britney run with Beyoncé during this time frame
Istan4R Posted May 4, 2022 Posted May 4, 2022 Out of the people she started her career with yes. Xtina, JLo, Beyoncé (2003-2008) Beyonce is hard to categorize though because she’s pretty much always been relevant but she’s never really owned a specific time maybe 2013-2016 but even Taylor was still way bigger. For a complete list of girls who owned specific times, please see below Madonna owned the 80s Mariah owned the 90s Britney owned 00s Taylor owned the 10s Billie is looking to own the 20s

Homebrand Posted May 4, 2022 Posted May 4, 2022 Britney was only big for like 4-5 years. Beyonce overtook and rightfully so

NausAllien Posted May 4, 2022 Posted May 4, 2022 Beyoncé is BY FAR the biggest MPG of her generation (born in the early 80s) Beyoncé has more #1s and top 10 hits, has earned more from tours, has more critical acclaim, waaaaaaaaaaay more Grammys and awards in general (542 vs 378), etc. Album sales is the only metric in which Britney scores more than Beyoncé.

It’s called longevity, I know that’s hard for you to understand for someone’s huge star to even get bigger, don’t act like Beyoncé hasn’t been pushing more units since her solo debut and fr fr since 2001. Yes, the black girl from Houston Texas is far greater than your basic yt fave Edited May 4, 2022 by QueenBeyoncé

Yes, the black girl from Houston Texas is greater than your basic yt non singing fave. It's hard for many to understand Beyoncé was big with DC, was HUGE as a solo artist in the 00s, and became a LEGEND in the 10s with critically acclaimed back to back albums. That longevity alone makes her the greatest MPG of her generation. The question wasn't who had the biggest peak (I'd have to look at the data, but Beyoncé probably wins here too), the question was who was the greatest of that generation. And the answer is pretty simple. Only ATRL would be delusional enough to think Britney is better than Beyoncé.

No one in the right mind would ever say Britney is greater than Beyoncé like whaaa it’s always excuses on why Britney couldn’t keep up like chileeee when comparing to Beyoncé. BUT those excuses aren’t used when they’re comparing Britney and Christina like bye
Lorelei Posted May 4, 2022 Posted May 4, 2022 (edited) Yes. No one compares to her impact. She soared higher than everyone else. Edited May 4, 2022 by Lorelei
