I'd say towards the end of B'Day.

Bigger at the time or bigger overall? 

 

Beyonce's eras were always bigger than contemporary Britney eras from the start. 

 

Overall she definitively passed her around the Super Bowl.

Overall. The moment she surpassed Britney.

Selftitled because that's when Bey abandoned commercial success and started building a legacy for herself

Most probably since I AM SASHA FIERCE (though it can be argued that she was already bigger since DIL and Dreamgirls is more iconic than Spears' movie role)

 

B was winning in the singles department (digital sales; ringtones; airplay) ; album sales; videography; touring; money making (B was the top earner that year) and awards around 2008-2010.

Her first......

 

"Dangerously In Love" was bigger than "In The Zone". The pattern continued with each of their successive albums.

Honestly Bey has been outselling her since she debuted.

 

But is a bit stupid to compare them era vs era cause Britney was already in her way out by the time Bey debuted.

 

Overall career Britney was always bigger until ST/Lemonade were Bey was on a league of her own.

 

Currently the conversation of who has a bigger career becomes redundant since is really hard to put one on top of the other.

 

They are around the same.

Dangerously In Love needed payola to score hits. Beyonce didn’t do better than Britney organically until ST. DIL was fueled by payola, B’Day and IA…SF each had to be released in some 20+ editions and IA…SF and 4 both gave free downloads away in South Korea to inflate digital sales. ST was the first time a Beyonce era organically outdid a Britney era.

 

Chronologically:

BOMT > DIL

OIDIA > B’Day

Britney < IA…SF

ITZ > 4

Blackout < BEYONCE

Circus > Lemonade

Femme Fatale > The Gift

Dangerously in Love

 

While Britney was struggling to chart, Bey came with 3 smash hits (Crazy in Love, Baby Boy and Naughty Girl). According to ChartMasters, DIL has also sold more than In the Zone (which was released around that time). 17,350,000 CSPC vs 13,082,000 to be more precise.

 

By the time B'Day came out, it wasn't even close. B'Day sold almost three times more than Blackout (including more than twice as much in pure sales) and had the biggest song of the year 2007: Irreplaceable, which charted #1 in the YEC.

OF COURSE. When the actual facts and figures don't fit your narrative is payola. Do you have even a smidgen of evidence of the things you're claiming?

If you're going to compare ''chronologically'' wouldn't it make more sense to compare the DC albums given they debuted & released the same time?

 

BOMT > Destiny's Child

Oops > Writing's On the Wall

Britney < Survivor 

In The Zone < Crazy In Love

Blackout < Destiny Fulfilled

Circus < B'Day

Femme Fatale < IASF 

Britney Jean < 4

Glory < Beyoncé

 

Either way, Beyonce has been the bigger act since she debuted her solo album in 2003 :michael:

I was a Beyonce stan when Columbia got caught for payola.

Survivor was def. not bigger than Britney, Forbes literally named Britney the biggest star on earth that year, I'm not even sure DC was on the list :fan:

BOMT vs DIL, BOMT was bigger

Oops  vs BDay, Oops was bigger

Britney vs IASF, IASF was bigger

4 vs ITZ,   ITZ was bigger

Blackout vs ST, ST was bigger

Lemonade vs Circus, idk, one was a bigger album the other had much bigger hits.


I mean it’s really hard to put one on top of the other.

 

If you compare them era to era you can see that.

Like someone said if you want to compare 'chronologically'' eras, here it goes..


If we add DC to the equation Bey will be bigger obviously.

 

But not all people see it this way. Most count solo careers.

 

I don’t want to get into a conversation were everyone argues if DC counts or not. It’s always tiring.

 

To make things more simple:

 

Solo Beyonce vs Brintey are around the same

 

and

 

DC + Beyonce >>>> Britney overall

Solo she been outdoing Britney since 03… 

 

and solo Beyoncé & Britney are not around the same and no sympathy documents will change that.
