In reply to checkyourself.

Bey hasn't surpassed Janet, but I personally think she's not so far beneath her as everyone makes it seem. Janet has so many significant records (Bey does as well).

- Janet has 6 #1 albums.
- Beyonce has 5 #1 albums.
*Both women hold the record for having 5 back to back.

This is just a little of what I can point out to show how much success both women garnered.

Also, for the record Bey has released albums within the same year as just about all her major competition (Britney - '03/'08/'11, Pink - '03/'06/'08, Gaga - '08/'11/'13, Taylor - '06/'08 to name a few).

We all know Janet was dropping albums with all the legends in her prime.

Both women are Queens! Dot. Period! It's nothing to take away from either one.
