"The beatles were the biggest at one point"!?

The Beatles are still the biggest band in history, very few artist rank the same as the Beatles. Taylor Swift definitely does not.

You need to come up with a better argument to even compare The Beatles with Taylor Swift other then "they both play there own instuments and write there own music" (most artist do this already), and she is not the number 1 artist today, she is the number one Country singer yeh, but even if she was the number 1 artist today that still doesn't mean you can compare her to The Beatles. I'm sure at one point in time Kanye West was considered to be the number 1 artist, but can you even come close to comparing him to The Beatles, hell no.

The is so riduculous I feel like my heads going to explode.

She is too the #1 artist today. Name 1 artist that still makes music today that gets mainstream play thats bigger? it's a fact, her albums are outselling EVERYONE.

Rihanna?

I would like for you to reply to my other points. Even if she is number one why does that mean you can compare her to The Beatles?

And theres no way she'll sell anywhere near what The Beatles sold for albums, her two albums combined sold over 10 million, that's not really impressive.

Rihanna doesn't sell huge amounts of albums. Only her pervious album crossed the 2.5 million mark. That's half of what Fearless sold in just 1 year.

Cause the Beatles were the huge stars of the time and shes todays huge star.

 

IN 2009 IT IS. Sales are not big anymore FACT

lol but your missing my other points now, just because she is number one how can you compare her to the beatles?

There was several people that hit number 1 and they didn't get anywhere near the beatles. Justin Timberlake, Eminem, 2Pac, Kanye West, 50 cent, Beyonce, Rihanna etc. They all hit number 1 and had albums that sold very well, and there still no where near the legendary level of The Beatles.

The only people you can compare The Beatles to is Michael Jackson and Elvis. That's it.

Cause she has just as much starpower as they did in the 60's

 

And Mariah. She has more #1's than Elvis. :)



 

Reputation proceeds me, they told you I'm crazy, I swear I don't love the drama it loves me <3

BUY TAYLOR'S NEW ALBUM REPUTATION!!

Eminem is the biggest act of the decade. He does not compare to The Beatles. I am sure even Taylor Swift would be offended by such a comparison. Do you really think she has the same kind of appeal worldwide?

Well Eminem isn't real music. She actually gaining fame around the world. Like I said, she is the first country singer in forever yo break into mainstream. If the beatles just debuted in 2009, nobody would play their music on the radio..

So you are going to go the "rap isn't real music" schtick to prove your point? Alright this has to be a joke thread. My head is going to explode.

More Starpower!? so you were around in the 60's to see how insane The Beatles was?

But yeh you make a decent point Mariah Carey is up there, but still no where near The Beatles. If the thread was Mariah Carey vs The Beatles then it'd be a decent competition, but some new country singer that just got famous is nothing to The Beatles.

Not a joke at all.. Wow if Taylor was a man would you give her more credit. People are already discrediting Mariah who has more #1's than Elvis.

Do you have any idea how big Elvis was/ still is? Mariah will never come close to that. Stop trying to make it seem that #1's mean everything.
