Didn’t make it. A few Hannah albums didn’t count since they weren’t credited to her.

These list make me upset Whitney released like five albums between 1993-2009... she could have been far bigger tbh. Congrats to the divas tho!

Madonna really underperformed in the US since 1993, no?

Ray of Light and Music were definitely repeaks for her in the US, but these two eras didn't dominate the US music scene like her music in the 80s.

#15th best selling album of 1998. (“Ray of Light”)

#36th best selling album of 2000. (“Music”)

#40 best selling album of 2012. (“MDNA”)

#43 best selling album of 2005. (“Confessions on a Dance Floor”)

#49 best selling album of 2008. (“Hard Candy”)

#58th best selling album of 1995. (“Bedtime Stories”)

:rip:

To be fair, her 5 biggest albums were all before 1993 in US. (Madonna, Like a Virgin, True Blue, Like a Virgin, The Immaculate Collection)

 

Also America just wasn’t as supportive of her as Europe since 1993. Confessions didn’t do much and ROL lost steam after just a few months.

So if you sold 10m when most were selling 2 million but if you sold 5m when most were selling 1m you’d rank higher :huh:

 

why do people want to veer away from pure sales pre 2015...I get post 2015 but it’s almost like people want us to believe an album can sell twice as much as another but if the comparable albums against them were different it’s possible to consider the lesser selling album more successful 

i admire the creative ways to shift it a bit though :fan:

Céline higher than Mariah even in the US? Interesting! 

not on sales. Mariah's debut which is 9xP and was the #1 best selling album of 1991 is missing. Also Emotions and Unplugged, so basically 3 blockbusters.

They would rank similar. Similar level of dominance at the time.

 

And this isn't even saying 'X is more successful than Y'. It is simply a measure of who was most dominant relative to their time. The sales climate changes so comparing numbers will always be debatable. However, someone having the #2 selling album in 1995 and someone having the #20 selling album in 2004 is objective. One was clearly more dominant of their time lol.

And this is after benefiting from the streaming era. Imagine if it wasn't for that. :fan:

Ok it’s all confusing to me. I guess I just know the girls are gonna use it like it’s pure sales stats pre streaming era...the way they use equivalents and units lol

albums in certain eras were only pushed for a year where in some eras 80s 2010s things were different 

 

but meh my faves remain legend:gaycat2:

Please, one of her biggest albums only has 2.5 months accounted for on this list. Another Top 5 placement for her this year is coming.
