The type of commercial success they acheived especially Michael when it came to sells, chart positions, global success and just the overall innovations they contributed etc. The music industry is different today and that kind of success cant be repeated for one thing mostly everything has already been done and the popularity of the internet of today.. nobody is not selling 50 million copies an album today lol
Now in your last post you spoke of musical achievemnt and when I challenged that I was refering to accolades and awards since you said achievement which Michael has more of than the Beatles as well as more hits and longer chart positions. Now as far as his music itself.. I wouldnt say he surpassed the Beatles.But his music definitly had more of a global impact and it catered to different demographics, races, ages not just one. He has a different generation of fans and more to come. He made alot of pop classics the same as the Beatles. However, Michael explored different genres in his music. He has more innovations in his music video medium and dancing performances over the Beatles.
