I’ve always been curious about this because objectively, both have massive fan bases around the world and at one point had a solid 5 ish years as a consistent and top 10 commercial artist. I recognize following Bionic and Goodbye Lullaby there continued to be a steep decline in popularity, despite remaining in public eye… but this is the artist that was the second up to Britney’s sales and comparisons, and the other: a suburban Canadian kid with an even larger debut than Beyoncé!!!
whose decline has been steeper and more shocking though? What factors played into this trajectory and has either artist seen mainstream success in the years since (I believe so!)
