Sad that we dont have any catalogue pure sales for Speak now and Recovery. Maybe in 100 years, looking back we can say she had 1st 6 albums on top of their years. Their difference on pure sales is 'only' ~ 150k units. SB halftime show and ts7 are coming to slay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's mainly two female artists (Adele and Taylor) who have dominated the pure album sales market this past decade. Remove these two and I guess the second best selling album would be by a male artist? Do you have the data?

In that case I think it would look like this. 2010 - Eminem 2011 - Michael Buble 2012 - Imagine Dragons or Mumford & Sons 2013 - Frozen 2014 - Sam Smith 2015 - Chris Stapleton 2016 - Beyonce 2017 - Ed Sheeran 2018 - ASIB 2019 - Billie Eilish Still better than in the 60s-80s when it comes to female representation, even after removing the two biggest female artists.

1989 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Taylor’s dominance on this list is amazing but just a bit heartbreaking because her best album, Speak Now, was the only one not to make the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
