Thats subjective because Michael surprassed The Beatles in alot of his achievements as well as innovated/impacted things they didnt even do and thats not downplaying their musical achievements. The Beatles were a group and Michael was a solo artist they were pop but in different eras really shouldnt be compared. Their similiar because of the cultural impact they on the music industry as well as commercial success. And one thing is for sure those achievements cant be repeated.
