Literally, if they included the last six months of 1999, Utada would be way up there!

[Pretty. Odd.]

13. Nelly Furtado: 20.500.000 albums sold (estimated)

Kind of surprised by this

'Femme Fatale' has sold 784k. It outsold it both in the US and WW.

Okay, so FF has outsold MOAIA by about 70,000.

And yet, FF had three huge hits while MOAIA had one top ten hit and every other single peaked outside of the top 60.

Yes for Beyonce doing it with 3 albums.

Double yes at Beyonce/DC leaving the other girls behind by millions.

I think Avril has sold more than this but they underestimated Pink's sales as well:

Missundaztood: 16M (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...IgEpOhg#t=116s)

Funhouse: ~7M
I'm Not Dead: ~7M
Try This: ~3.5M
Can't Take Me Home: ~4M

and Live In Australia/Greatest Hits... So Far!!! sold surely over 1M before 2011

and this all adds up to 38.5 M

and Avril LG (16M) + TBDT (7M) + UMS (10M)
so even with a safety margin of 2M her total is 35M tops, way behind Pink's

Is Shania the only one there with ONE release that decade?

She is so underrated.

2. Norah Jones: 43.000.000 albums sold (estimated)

6. Alicia Keys: 29.000.000 albums sold (estimated)

Very impressive.

[Cap10Planet]

Norah faded, but look at the lead she has over the others. And she's only second to Britney.

She would be. She was really close.

I can't at Carrie almost making this list with only US sales.

Funny how only Pink and Alicia Keys are the only ones able to push 3 million sales worldwide in whole top 20 today
Hope Norah claims her throne back with the new release today

Beyonce will be crossing 3 million before the end of this era.
