P!NK2LOVE Posted October 30 Posted October 30 I'm a Swiftie first and foremost, but with Madonna, there would be no pop stars as we know them today. 2

Alongoria13 Posted October 30 Posted October 30 Madonna is an old school popstar with a untouchable status and she basks in it, that alone gives her a much more powerful aura than Taylor Swift, who dillutes herself to be as likeable as possibly for the masses, please 2 3

I am using Billboard's greatest of all time ranking. https://www.billboard.com/charts/greatest-of-all-time-artists/ records combine both single and album sales so aren't a great methodlogy to use. But regardless, Madonna is the greatest pop star not because she sold the most. But because she pioneered being a female pop star that was so influential on future pop stars.

nightowl Posted October 30 Posted October 30 Stop being ridiculous. There's no one like the queen madonna. Stop bringing the basic and forgettable and disposable songs songstress. 2

chaklux Posted October 30 Posted October 30 Madonna will always reign supreme, she is the most influential and most impactful female pop star of all time. But in terms of stardom and being big, Taylor is cumulatively the biggest female pop star of all time. 1 2
Richie.Valdez Posted October 30 Posted October 30 Isn't eras tour Taylor's first real world tour? And is being compared to THE Madonna who has done several real world tours? 1

Sweetness Posted October 30 Posted October 30 Madonna, the artist who sold most of her catalogue outside the US and is globally the biggest charting artist in history, the women who started her own major record label. All this talk about Taylor grossing a billion dollars in music yet Madonna record label announced in 1992 the singer had already grossed over 1 billion several decades ago, so it's only grown since then. 4

yonsé Posted October 31 Posted October 31 everyone in here saying taylor and listing stats as their reasoning....bffr the topic says GREATEST pop star ever. that means cultural impact as well. madonna is clearing easily. without her there is no taylor. 3
Venice B Posted October 31 Posted October 31 Love that we're comparing an artist that has been excommunicated by the Vatican several times, has directly criticized the US government at the height of a war and was labeled as persona non grata for most of the 90's with a singer that only puts out "easily accessible music" (words from her own stan on the first page) and never dares to push any boundaries whatsoever. 1
UrMom Posted October 31 Posted October 31 I would say Hikaru Utada. Yeah her numbers aren't that impressive and she's not global but her compositions completely destroy the other girls 1
John Slayne Posted October 31 Posted October 31 madonna - bigger, better, more artistic, more revolutionary, more interesting, better songwriter, better dancer, more legendary, more influential, better singer, better actress taylor - great gowns, beautiful gowns 1
