Who's the biggest popstar ever: Michael Jackson or Taylor Swift?

[KnightTemplar]

I dont care if Michael diddled kids or not. He is not less of an artist if he did. Though I doubt he did.

I don't care how talented an artist you are. If you molest children, you go into the woodchipper. Feet-first.

Not saying that Jackson did go Full Savile; he was never convicted in a court of law. But if he was, his undoubted musical genius doesn't get him a pass.

Then again, what does getting punished for a crime has to do with talent? I thought we were discussing talent.

You might be able to separate the talent from the crime, no matter how vile the offence was. I cannot.

 

[Killer Whale]

Michael was for everyone.

Taylor is for girls and girly people.

Fair enough. Good evening to you, sherbro.

UK vinyl sales at highest level since 1990 - as Taylor Swift leads the way

Taylor Swift has dominated the music world this year, and she's doing it again - leading the vinyl sale top ten. Meanwhile, in other nostalgic news, Take That head up the best-selling CD albums.

news.sky.com

More vinyl LPs were bought this year than at any time since 1990 and are growing at their fastest rate this decade.

With just a few more days to go to year-end, the vinyl market has increased by nearly 12%, rising for the 16th year in a row, according to analysis of Official Charts data by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI).

Over a quarter of a million vinyl albums were sold in the week before Christmas, the highest sales for the format this century.

Continuing her domination of the music industry and pop culture as a whole, Taylor Swift's 1989 (Taylor's Version) was the best-selling vinyl album, and the 33-year-old star took two more slots in the top ten with Speak Now (Taylor's Version) and Midnights.

Good evening to you, sir. And a Guid New Year when it comes.

 

[Mike]

A lot of people ITT are seriously underrating both MJs fame, and what it meant to have that magnitude of fame at that time. No Internet, no social media, damn near everyone in the entire WORLD knew who he was.

 

[Mujeriego]

Not even up for debate.
MJ by every metric

Wiki says it's Swift, but we all know how reliable that can be.

She's also promoting cardiac injections and shilling like the little puppet. Listening to her over lords.

 

[HARRISON_3]

Lol @ thinking Taylor Swift doesn't take big dumps

 

[Brother Numsi]

There’s levels to this cuh. MJ is on one by himself

Taylor is a huge star and her fan base is large but Mike Jack had probably the largest and most diverse fan base for an artist ever. No one comes close

Sorry Long Back Swift

 

[Dogpound2020]

Taylor Swift is huuuuuuuuge. Huge. She's some kind of wierd royalty. But despite her massive fanbase and popularity she couldn't get away with fucking a bunch of kids for a decade.


King of pop all day son

MJ, all day, baybay.

 

[Otto!]

MJ slaughtering that poll.

 

[Thrawn33]

MJ slaughtering that poll.

As it should be.

 

[BangBang]

If you didn’t say Michael Jackson , shame on you!

 

[buddahead]

Peole of all ages, colors, and creeds loved micheal jackson. He had people fainting at the sight of him.
Taylor audience, though still massive, is mostly tween white girls.

 

[Thepaintbucket]

Who does Taylor Swift appeal to anyway? I imagine predominantly female and probably female caucasians.
