Neither of them have had a platinum album in 10 years. "Full Moon" & "After The Storm" were both certified platinum in 02 & 03, respectively.

Both had gold certifications "Afrodisiac" & "Still Standing".

Two underperforming albums... "The Makings Of Me," & "New Life" ; "Human" & "Two Eleven"

They're about the same IMO. Monica has had more successful singles recently though...

Love them both.
