Why do you care about my 7 pages thread ? I presumed it wasn't a pick-and-choose exercise, but the actual stats of artists in the UK. I see I was wrong.

The fact that almost all of her sales are singles, logical as album sales were higher back in Mariah's golden years. And that a lot of them are collabs. I'm curious. Are jlo, Xtina, Britney Spears etc a flop in the UK according to you? Since both Nicki and Mariah outsold them in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is quite unfair equal 1 album sale to 1 single sale. Albums should equal to 10 to 15 single track, depending of the amount of songs included.

Mediabase Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 I am sorry but this list is a complete mess. It has equaled 1 album sale to 1 single sale and then combined them together for a total number. This is not how you count certifications. Albums and singles don't need the same amount of copies to get a certification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a dumb and useless thread. Those are literally certified units based on official certifications. Identical to the "US Highest Certified Females" thread, but for the UK: ...Except UK certifications are automatically updated by BPI and don't need to be requested by labels, which is way better. Funny how people didn't have an issue with the RIAA thread, when the same methodology was applied in my thread. Funny how nobody had an issue with my thread until Little Monsters entered it.

If this thread was about certifications, you'd list the artists by the number of certifications, not by the sales that they imply. You're also counting records sold, mixing albums and singles sales, which has been long discussed that represent next to nothing. This would only be worth it if it was on equivalents.

Idk if you realize how silly and actually useless this would be. If we used this methodology, an artist who has 20 Silver-certified singles (aka 4 million certified units) would rank higher than an artist who has 15 Platinum-certified singles (aka 9 million certified units). Pure nonsense. And maybe you think records sold mean next to nothing, but those are what the "best-selling artists of all time" lists are based on.

Then you should change the title because Most Certified = quantity of certifications. What you probably mean with this thread is "best selling female acts based on certifications", which was interesting until you summed albums with singles like they didn't have any difference. Again, pointless thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone else understood what this thread is about. Again, no one's stopping you from making your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
