| 2000cc said: Britney, though I love them both, Gaga only made $62mil last year and it has was her most successful year, Think that figure may be a little off though, britney may have been 2% of exports or 2% of a state economy, US economy in total is like 700 trillion per year so 2% would make her bigger than the whole music industry over many many years, also believe it or not, gaga is still known as a 'cult' artist in the popular crowd simply because shes so weird as a person, at least where I live, I am a total club/party girl and Gaga is way too out there for a lot of my friends whereas britney had universal appeal, she just identified with us better, Gaga has too many ideals and is too critical of us image conscious ones |
American economy is 14.5 trillion, not 700 trillion... WW economy is just 60 trillion.
Anyway, Britney is product, GaGa is an artist. But Britney has loads of secondary products, including her perfumes, that sells much more than her albums. She already sold 800 million perfumes and only 100 million albums.
