Moments in history when a flavour of the month band was declared (or genuinely debated) that they were "bigger than the Beatles" by journalists, magazines, etc.

Genuinely good contender here. This one at least stood the test of time.

New York Times declared Taylor swift had surpassed the Beatles not just the number of #1 hits, but overall as the all time greatest.

let's see, Abbey Road (best selling Beatles album) sold 8 million copies in its first years while Saturday Night Fever sold close to 30m, yeah I think the Gibbs win this one

Showing articles like this to someone who has swallowed the beatles mythology is like making someone listen to a recording of their own voice. Beatles fans can't believe nowadays that they were considered basically on par with the bee gees before the decades of astroturfed ballwashing biographies, documentaries, and limited edition box sets

Dynamite - Was a monthly publication in the 70's that elementary and middle school children could order from "Scholastic Book Services". It was included on a order form where it included paperback books and you would check boxes for the books you wanted to order and give the money to your teacher. About a month later a box would be delivered to class with an invoice and the teacher would pass out the books to the students that ordered them.

In short...this was aimed at pre-teens and was not a "newstand" publication so take it as a serious publication.

Pre teens are the primary consumers of pop music. Tiger Beat is aimed at pre teens too
