So they start the article praising Beyonce with a paragraph saying "Taylor is more successful"

They are doing to Bey what Kanye did to Taylor, it's actually disgusting.

And the USA is not "the world" lol

No they aren't.  They're giving Beyonce deserved recognition and including a perspective beyond just "most chart and money success."

The USA is not the world, but nobody in "the world" has bigger numbers than Taylor.

Instead praising Beyonce's success, which is amazing cause she's a black woman... They praise Taylor and put her down...? 

Or they're trying to hide the fact that they messed up with the Taylor nsfw video that they shared ?

Kanye ruined Taylor's acceptance speech and humiliated her on stage

Billboard elaborated about Taylor vs. Beyonce, and why they selected one over the other, in their own subjective ranking that has no weight outside of an article on Billboard.com

it is not the same

You should take a look at Japan, there's artists there who have sold 50-80 million physical copies. So yeah, luckily USA is not the world in any sense

Its 100% them trying to get Swift back onside.

Especially with the BMAs coming up and lots of rumours of Taylor appearing & making an announcement.

The way they’re kissing Taylor’s ass after messing up with that Kanye’s Famous wax figure shot mess.

It's actually a lengthy article about Beyonce's legacy, and the paragraph in the OP is close to the end of it. The very next paragraph even praises Beyonce by stating that she is the only artist who "has spent the entirety of the last 25 years exemplifying greatness in every form imaginable", and that's why she surpassed Taylor in their ranking.

It's not an entire article about Taylor lol

It's over for them, Taytay is on her way writing a song to shade their disgusting behavior on Reputation TV

like what is this mess

[Anderson123 35,703]

No Billboard, if you go by sheer numbers, Rihanna would’ve been #1.  But I get what they mean. I understand Beyoncé is the biggest popstar after Madonna but Taylor’s massive success is something that deserves recognition.

such a weird attempt to negate any criticism and appease lunatic racist swifties
