Oh, you still with Live 8? Well Queen had Wembley 1986 which has tons of videos with millions of views, and examples of this are Love Of My Live and BoRhap. The concert in Budapest in 1986, which was the first concert of a occidental band in a communist country, only done before by Elton John un Moscow. The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert, which had 1 billion television viewers. Queen also has millions of views thanks to concerts, and always remember, Queen’s performance in Live Aid is the biggest in music history (voted by 77% of people in a BBC poll) and Madonna, no matter Live Aid and Live 8 together, is behind Queen. Michael Jackson does not have the opportunity to be more popular than Queen in 50 years, unfortunately, because he is dead. Queen is aging better than any other artist, and how things are happening, only The Beatles can surpass Queen in popularity in 50 years. Maybe.
I guess you are embarrased. You pointed out media innacirate is useless. Media is the pop stars all about. When media says it, thats it. thats the thing for pop stars. Saying;"nobody trust wiki" do not make Queens cultural impact bigger than Madonna. The sadness is no fans even want to creat a page like this to describe their cultural imapct. Obviously because they have no cultural imapct but only We Will Rock You and We Are The Champions. Madonna not only make music but also realese table books and children books. They are all the best selling of all time. Madonnas cultural imapct is way more than just music. So if you are talking about streams and current music popularity, Queen win. But stop using the word"imapct".
Concerts? Madonna grossed nearly 1.5 billion dollars from tours, with over 15 million attendance. Whos That Girl Tour in Paris broke the Paris attendance record with 130k people."the biggest in music industry" vote is for BBC which means British people. If the vote is now it may not be them. Madonna's performances on VMAs, for example,iconic LAV performance in 1984, Vogue in 1990, and kissing Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera in 2003. They are all of what makes Madonna famous and legendary. Her super bowl half time show used to break viewers record and is the first half time show to have viewers higher than the game itself. Madonna opended several stadiums in Russia, those communist thing dont matter. Her album Ray of Light sold 250k in Russia and COAD at over 100k. Even MDNA sold over 70k there and is the best selling album of 2012. She was also massive in Middle Eastern countires like Israel and Turkey, selling tons of albums and open big stadiums several times and tickets always sell hugely well. MJD is maybe mad now while you said that Michael Jackson will be always less popular than Queen in later years. But we dont know so talking about this is pointless
Well they do not only have these two songs, my wrong. But however, the two songs is the most famous songs by Queen I mean.Bohemian Rhapsody is their most successful single, but just most people never knew this song, unlike We Will Rock You. It is weird.
Djdj your talking utter rubbish and are very nieve and blinkered in Madonna world.
And I think you blinkered in your Queen music world. You are talking rubbish. Its just a fact that Queen only has an impact on music. Anyway, I never mention cultural impact first. and some of you started. It is just rediculous Madonna is one of the ten most cultutal idol in the world in 100 years studied by TIME magazine.
Do you think it is necessary to have a page showing your cultural IMPACT? Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Queen, Frank Sinatra, they are all huge and they don’t have their own WiKiPeDiA page. Also, pls stop quotating US pages. I don’t think it is a coincidence that 3 from the 4 artists that have a WiKiPeDiA page are from the United States. Madonna is big everywhere, yes, but in the US her figure is bigger than in the whole world.
US figure is that big that you’ll find more articles about Beyoncé and Rihanna than Queen.
Madonna only sold 71 million albums in US but 202 million worldwide. She sold three times big worldwide as in US. She did about 28 million physical singles in US but a massive 75 million globally, again nearly three times big worldwide as in US. Don't know why you are always talking about US US, Madonna has been flopped in US since 2003 because of American Life. AL moved only 800k units in US but 3.35 million globally. COAD moved 1.85 million in US but 9.325 million globally. Madonna is never ever bigger in US. Hung Up was a number one hit single in 41 countries breaking Guiness World Reocords, but that 41 countries do not include US. Hung Up was only peaked at #7 in US while literally #1 in any other country! Plus, Madonna sold 202 million albums, which include 71 million in US and 79 million in Europe, so she sold 51 million albums in the world outside of US&Europe. Still more than Queen. And if you talking about single sales, even way more. Madonna has 15 number one hit on European Hot 100 singles, the most for any artist. If you talk about cultural impact, thats.....uh uh. And that page was not United States. Just check. There are lots of Russian things in that page, check
Beyonce and Rihanna sold way less albums in US than Queen. And Rihanna is always considered massively global. Rihanna moved less than 12 million albums in US but nearly 15 million in Europe, and a stunning nearly 34 million worldwide. Although Beyonce is not that popular in Europe so she is not considered global, however, she was also huge in Asia(flopped since 4 era) and Africa.
Djdj sound like you just believe everything you read that has a positive quote about Madonna, the true facts are here on Chartmasters and they put Queen ahead overall of Madonna end of. Madonna is spent force I'm afraid mate.
So to summarize - Queen is better than Madonna in every conceivable and inconceivable way.
Im not saying that Madonna's music CSPC is more. You are understanding sth wrong. Stans always think like that. Its kind of pathetic since Madonna is a solo artist, a band want to compete with a solo artist. Crazy. Why dont you even say that Queen has 5 persons and Madonna is solo? lol. A solo artist could not be compared to a band. Especial who do not even has a Grammy and has a poor performance on music reviews from for example Rolling Stone. British dont make sense. Adele wins a lot of Grammys. Queen's music is for commercial performances to make money for record labels. Madonna not only make music she shot moovies won Golden Globe Award. When stans understand nothing they would say "you believe everything you read". ChartMasters is about music. And I repeated over and over again Madonna released a table book and becaming the best selling of all time with over 1.5 million copies. Her children book also became the best selling of all time, thats not just positive, thats a fucking fact. Her cultural impact has effected way much in the whole world, not only cultural but also social.
