OP isn’t even comparing Artist A vs Artist B but simply listing everyone’s certifications numbers. - Think everyone knows music has been and will continue to be consumed in various mediums as time goes on.

Not the entire continent. Asia has huge album sales, wyd? Mariah is extremely global even if Europe is lacking. OT: Britney below Little Mix? Sure streams and the peak of digital sales have made it easier than ever to get certifications, but this just highlights that the U.K. is up there with Germany for worst market ever.
