I think people should refrain from arguing and give praise to each one of them instead. The OP has an agenda, so don't fall for it guys.

true. But people have already spewed nonsense about Mariah. I have decided to always reply to nonsense.

Mariah performed half as many shows as Madonna. 

 

Mariah cannot dance or move her body herself. 

 

 

So she doesn't have the demand nor the stamina despite the fact that she just stands there and lipsyncs, WOW. We went from worse to WORSERRR. :ahh:

This thread already reeks of sexism and misogyny by setting women against each other. Like others said, no one does this with male artists. 
 

Madonna is factually at the top of the pop pantheon as the female blueprint, setting the model of pop stardom for female pop artists. Numbers are there, the influence is there, the longevity is there.

 

People with knowledge of pop culture and the history of popular music are able to effectively recognise Madonna at the top, with the history of pop music being split between before Madonna and after Madonna.  

 

All others have their markets and peaks of success, which should be recognised of course.

This ain't a group project. Madonna is bigger than them both and everyone deserves to have that shoved in their face. You don't argue with OBJECTIVE facts. Now when Taylor gets there in 2029, I'll gladly let the Swifties have their moment and i'll resort to the Ava Max base. But we ain't there yet! :gaycat2:

She's 60, thank you for asking. :heart:

She must live under a rock or be really white to not know who Mariah Carey is

she doesn't have to tour... apparently, her xmas empire gives her MILLIONs. 

 

There are entire video documentaries about that. look it up. *sips tea*

 

speaking of demand... she just sold out 2 shows at the Hollywood Bowl (17k each) and 2 shows at the Madison Square Garden. 

 

She even had to add more dates as both venues were only 1 concert initially. 

 

If only Mariah would engage in a proper tour internationally again.

The funniest thing is now Madonna is literally having a ww smash rn

 

And frozen went viral last year

 

Her longevity is just INSANE and unmatched

 

Not to mention her plastic surgeries always get endless publications in tabloids. She's always still the talk of the town whether for the better or worse

Will Mariah have surpassed Madonna by 2029? Her xmas album alone is selling 700k annually now.

$30 million in touring revenue in 2023 alone. <3 

 

Did Mariah release official numbers for her tour? Also...$30M for an entire tour with 16 isn't all that :rip:

Madonna did $22M in London alone, with less than 100k people watching lmao

Madonna's peak was like four times bigger. There are no popularity peaks like that in the streaming era, its not possible. She was everywhere, including Latin America, which is a weak market for taylor and mariah.

I think grossing $30 million from 16 shows - one show was a casino btw - is pretty good. But what do I know. 

 

 

Billboard reported $11,8 million from the first 6 shows in November - with said Casino being one of them. 

 

10 more shows to report. 

 

Madonna is doing so well. See... no need to downgrade someone else to push someone up. It's undignified.

Mariah outsold Madonna by 2:1 in Japan. would anyone say that Japan is a weak market for her? Madonna has still sold 10m albums there. 

 

While Madonna was infinitely bigger than Mariah in South America... Mariah sold pretty well there too. 

 

Mariah sold over 2 million albums on Brazil alone. Mariah made one mistake tho... She never toured the continent. A decade ago she wanted to perform in Brazil, but something fishy went down with the promoters and the tour was cancelled. Mariah should really re-consider bc I believe she could sell out bigger arenas there.

Yes, Madonna the celebrity is/was bigger. She is known for producing a type of media frenzy that only the Beatles and MJ experienced. Mariah never got close. Taylor is an immense brand but she's living on a different era, the reach of her popularity isn't as inescapable and her body of work won't ever achieve the same cultural impact as a result.

I think ATRL overrate Madonna too much. Is she really the biggest artist? I think currently, Mariah and Taylor (even Kylie Minogue) are much bigger. 
 

What do you think?

Kylie is bigger than Madonna yes you’re on to something there

I would to see Mariah selling the O2 arena in London 5 nights in a row … Maybe if all 5 concerts are on Christmas day 

 

The thing is that Madonna is a legend and Mariah is a Christmas legend
