This is a joke. You guys are comparing Madonna to Mariah who came out almost 10 years before her and Beyoncé to Mariah who was out 7 years before her. Rihanna and Katy don't sell records. He'll Justin Timberlake had the biggest selling album of 2013 with under 2 mll. You all are comparing MC to the success she enjoyed in a very different musical era. Beyonce album 4 sold when she announced she was pregnant and didn't produce 1 solid hit. My point is everybody is flopping. Mariah had her time and in her time none of these girls could touch her. The Emancipation proved that because she beat them all in their heyday. If you check album sales for the 2000 Mariah sold nearly the same thing as beyonce with only 3 album releases, so how is Beyoncé the queen of anything???
