Who Was Bigger Worldwide: Whitney or Mariah
At their peaks who was more global? Don't forget to factor in the size of both's Discgography before jumping to the 'Mariah outsold Whitney' Part

Mariah is the best-selling foreign artist of all time in Japan, is always one of the top 10 best-selling females in most European countries. She is also more popular across Asia than Whitney. So it's definitely her.
But Celine >>>>>>>> both of them WW.

Of course Whitney. Whitney was a truly global force in her prime. And The Bodyguard was bigger than any Mariah era.

Celine was bigger. Whitney got so much success in the US that's why some consider her as the bigger popstar.
Lol I thought it was Celine vs Whitney
Mariah is bigger.

Mariah
Im becoming a little more comfortable in front of the camera. I wasnt used to it before. I was thrown into a new lifestyle and everything I do is kind of filmed or photographed. Im a private guy. I like to keep to myself. Im shy, maybe. It gets kind of tricky for me but, Im beginning to find the fun in it. I dont take myself too seriously so if Im front of the camera, thats what youre going to get, me clowning around."(Bruno Mars)

The answer is Whitney. The Bodyguard is the biggest female album of all time. On top of that, she had 2 other albums cross 20 million.
Mariah had massive success with Music Box and Daydream but it just doesn't rival The Bodyguard.
So at their peaks, Whitney was more global.
Whitney maintained global relevance/dominance for almost 10 years. Mariah for about the same amount of time- her late 1998 #1s release was massive worldwide.

Mariah was more consistent, sales-wise, and sold more records overall, by a huge margin.
But then again, The Bodyguard is/was bigger than any Mariah era, so it could be either/or, depending on how you spin it.
Celine sold more than both, though, but she had little to no impact outside her record sales in the late 90s.

I'd love to make a same thread pitting Celine and Madonna. That would be interesting. Both are huge outside the US

I'd say Whitney, but Mariah has more of a discography.
