burninredhot Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 So Kanye's new album out debuted Renaissance but we can make the argument that Bey has way more GP known classics. So who exactly is the bigger artist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gui Blackout Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Beyoncé is pretty bad with streaming so this is misleading. She's massively bigger than him, regardless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveInStereo Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Hard to say. Kanye’s fans are ride or die/cultish & you either love him or hate him. Beyoncé has more universal appeal but her audience is more casual. I know tons of people IRL who went to Reneigh Tour & just didn’t **** with act I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BnPac Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 If you’re going by streams, why not pull his last album’s? It did 100M first week. He’s huge on streaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Jacobs Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Users here still supporting Kanye are just as trash as he is. OT: the one who is a respectable legend and not a lowlife nazi that peaked a two decades ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swissman Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Both toured in 2016. Beyoncé's tour had 49 dates. Kanye's tour had 41 dates. Beyoncé's tour made nearly 5X more money. So if we're using stats, let's not just use streaming stats which cost the user basically nothing and say more about potential interest in a project and GP affinity to the music than the actuals stature of the artist in the public's mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archetype Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 (edited) I mean Kanye is bigger, but his recent music is not as engrained in mainstream culture because he doesn't score Top 10 hits anymore and his overall persona and aesthetic are inaccessible and problematic to the GP. But yea, it's hard to argue against streaming numbers. As for touring, Bey is pretty much untouchable, but that doesn't excuse her streaming performance.
