Was Michael Jackson or Madonna more famous?

Madonna

Michael jackson

Both are (were) fabulously talented and financially successful. Not unlike a skilled athlete, Michael was raised from a small child to be a performer. Madonna found her way and created an amazing career.

There are many dimensions to fame and infamy. It isn't possible to reduce either artist to a simple number that can be compared, one greater than the other.

Look at their sales

[SamIam96]

After a certain point, sales are more about skilled marketing than talent.

Both careers are different. Sales is only one metric, concert attendance, another, number of live shows. Show attendance numbers, Number of albums, awards, years on stage. Any of those can be a measure of fame.

Funny what people still believe to this day. Both couldn't hold a note. Read interview with their producers. Jackson and Madonna started the whole auto-tune BS.

@Nikki1989 lol saying MJ couldn't hold a note is laughable. 😆

I don't have much knowledge about, hollywood stars, singers or dancer, because English is not my native language I know few names, so i don't know about Madonna,, so can't say about her popularity , but I know about Michael Jackson,, I have been hearing about him from childhood, I have watched his Dance Videos on you tube, so I think he is more famous. Madonna may be famous, but i don't have any knowledge about her, so it's not good, to give fake comment about her, hope you understand..

[AI Opinion]

Both Michael Jackson and Madonna were icons in the music industry and achieved massive fame worldwide. Michael Jackson, known as the "King of Pop," gained immense popularity for his groundbreaking music videos and legendary performances. Madonna, the "Queen of Pop," was a trendsetter with her constantly evolving image and influence on fashion and music. Their fame spanned decades, making it difficult to say who was more famous. They both left an indelible mark on pop culture. 🌟

If you look at their sales you can see who was bigger

[ManOnFire]

Michael was way more famous than Madonna, especially with a Jackson 5 upbringing and history. He was called the king of pop for a reason. Madonna was largely famous through the 80s and 90s but Michael still was before and after that.

Michael Jackson is still known the world over. As popular as Madonna was in her prime (1990s), I don't think you can say the same thing about her today.

[Spencer10]

Well not a fan of either of these performers but I think MJ was more of a star... but what do I know lol

[MasterKS]

MJ 100 times more. He was global star before the digital world even started.
