    Music consumption changed in the 2000s. The birth of the Internet, etc al changed how we consumed music. No blacck artist will ever sel that much.

    Why do they keep trying to ignore this 🤦🏾‍♂️

    Don’t care

    And how dare you speak down on me and seek sympathy for people who don’t even respect or value the lives of my people ?

    You expect me to feel a type of way ? The Chinese and their government has been treating black lives unjustly & even descriminating in my home land just because they’re darker skinned

    F*** me for being angry and fed up ? F*** You & f*** your communist ass government

    I’m not Chinese or asian, I just don’t f*** with racists like you, and I don’t f*** with people who bully kids with mental health issues ... Chinese people aren’t to blame for having a government that controls their information that gains from their ignorance... attack their government

    don’t attack a kid you don’t know like , he did nothing wrong, he was born in a country who treats their people like s*** and the people can’t defend themselves or have the information to make right choices

    90% of Chinese people are treated like stock, don't have access to information that’s why they do ignorant things, they can’t leave the country and they don’t have freedom of speech

    They have an excuse to be ignorant, you don’t, do better

    I won’t derail this thread anymore , just wanted to get this s*** out of my chest

    Beyonce is not as big as people think. Adele is far bigger. Taylor Swift is too. Eminem. The list goes on. Beyonce might not even be bigger than Rihanna.

    Not really jesus was a nobody when he was alive

    Jesus had 1,000s of followers across the Roman Empire when he was alive, he was so influential that the powerful Jews in the country had to take him out.

    Not at all.

    Beyonce's biggest selling album was Dangerously In Love and that sold 11 Million Worldwide in an era where you could have definitely went Diamond In America easily.

    Her other albums usually top off at 8 Millon WW. A solid day for Michael (post 80s) was 8 Million in America and around 20 Million WW for Dangerous and HIStory.

    Not saying she's not a big star, but I feel like the legend our Culture has created of Beyonce exaggerates how big she's been. 2000s artists were able to do 10 Millon + and the biggest selling 2000s albums far outsold DIL:

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_albums_of_the_21st_century

    I will give you Beyonce is still one of the biggest touring forces and would be an MJ equivalent on that level though. But in the full spectrum of commercial impact, MJs success is once in a lifetime imo.

    According to this Usher is the only Black artist since 2000 to sell over 13 mil and he did it with Confessions which was released in 04. This doesn’t matter to you? Only white artists were able to withstand the piracy of the 2000s man that matters. Also Beys discography hasn’t been certified in years. Sasha Fierce has been at 8 mil WW since 2015 and has the 3 biggest singles of her career on it

    You’re desperately trying to paint me as a racist and guilt me into feeling sorry for my comment ? You’re ignorant and delusional and my post in that thread was the truth but you’re blatantly ignorant

    My people have been victims of mass genocide, slavery, rape & systematic oppression, victims of hatred from damn near all classes & demographics & you have the audacity to guilt & shame me for my comments which happen to be the truth ? Nothing I said was racist but keep being ignorant and keep lying

    Y’all really expect black people to keep quiet while the world destroys us and begs for sympathy after doing so

    Pathetic

    People really using album sales in 2020 as proof POP stars are bigger than Bey like we haven’t been shown time and time again these labels manipulate the streaming services for their bigger acts for the last 4 or so years

  • Apr 13, 2020

    Beyonce is not comparable to MJ at all, even performance wise.

  • Apr 13, 2020

    Taylor Swift is just now a decade into her career and her sales have tanked her last 2 albums (not really but she’s lived off of first week sales no longevity) meanwhile Bey is on her 3rd decade how could TSwift ever be bigger than her

  • Apr 13, 2020

    How could Adele be bigger than Beyoncé when she has only 2 albums and takes 5 year breaks in between releases. She has no cultural relevance. Stop this nonsense man

  • Apr 13, 2020

    Bruno Mars is barely bigger than The Weeknd let alone Beyoncé... like why are these the names being thrown around lol Beyoncé is literally on a different tier than all these artists

    beyonce is not a better performer than Mj

    Look at this performance of MJ at Motown 25. This is considered one of the greatest performances of all time and it is Just a man and a microphone and a shining light no backup dancers or theatrics or anything.

    I’ll reluctantly agree I feel like Ems popularity is overstated especially the last 10 years or so he’s been somewhat niche

    I expect kindness and respect, if I saw you struggling I would have kind words for you or anyone else independently of race, these are hard times for everyone

    You have no right to be an a****** to someone who’s struggling

    you expect respect when you think it’s cool to treat someone like s*** just because they’re a race you don’t like?

    You’re the one who deserves to be treated like s***, but it’s just because you’re a trashy human being
