lol thanks and hey u can never have too much, Beyonce. i like a variety of artists but noone encompasses as much as Bey. even he 4 u mentioned; the ones that can sing cannot dance, the one that can dance cant really perform. all of them are beneath her in terms of performance skills but this isnt bout that lol. how do u know Bey's albums havent charted in those countries, of course it has, jus not selling as much as they would if it were in the 90s. the best selling albums of the artists u mentioned all probably went diamond in US or close to that which means majority of their sales still comes from there. Besides the US, there's at least 1 foreign region where an artist respectably thrives eg Mariah is well loved in China, Asia; Madonna in UK. their US sales are proportional to ww sales so thats not really valid point. i mean Bey's tour grossed over 100m dollars no other black artist in how many years can say that. she set a record in Brazil. whats the point of having huge sales for 1 era n then falling off? it mean they were selling based on hype eg Britney or they just got lucky. Bey has been consistent between her DC days to solo
