She is.
It's not always "who sold the most"
Technically, Rihanna has sold more units than Bey when you add up album AND single units. Would you say Rihanna is "bigger" than Beyoncé? Absolutely not.
She's the Queen of entertainment. A nice way to put it, how relevant was Michael to the CURRENT entertainment industry by the time "Invincible" was released? Not very. He was FIGHTING to stay relevant and blaming racism as to why his album flopped, but had already made a huge mark in the industry.
Off the Wall - Invincible (22 years)
Dangerously in Love - Today (22 years)
In 2025, Bey is STILL extremely relevant. STILL the benchmark for other entertainers. STILL a trendsetter. STILL winning awards. STILL selling out stadiums. STILL booking advertising deals. STILL releasing music and STILL charting.
And just think, act iii isn't even here yet.
I know you will come back and disagree, but the proof is on display.
Oh, and she grossed a LOT more in touring especially. Even if you consider inflation from the years Mike was touring, Bey outperformed him there as well.
