Lindt Posted June 25, 2020 Posted June 25, 2020 Taylor has the best chance to surpass Barbra's record, but that's certainly not a guarantee
slw84 Posted June 25, 2020 Posted June 25, 2020 ALL Legends. RCA better update Britney's SPS certs She has 8 eligible based on SPS inclusion: Britney Spears- 15x platinum (with SPS) Baby one more time 11x platinum (with SPS) Oops... 5x platinum Britney 4x platinum (with SPS) In the Zone 3x platinum (with SPS) Circus 2x platinum (with SPS) Greatest hits: My prerogative (3x platinum if she uses SPS from her first 4 albums) 2x platinum (with SPS) Femme Fatale 2x platinum (with SPS) Blackout

slw84 Posted June 25, 2020 Posted June 25, 2020 Not that it matters but Emancipation of mimi is 6x platinum
rihannabiggestfan Posted June 25, 2020 Posted June 25, 2020 Enya is ABSOLUTELY a Main Pop Girl, she's sold 80-85 million albums in pure sales. Not everyone on this list can relate @Wildcat
Cryptique Posted June 25, 2020 Posted June 25, 2020 My fave has 4, hopefully she can snatch another one
RULES Posted June 25, 2020 Posted June 25, 2020 Rihanna of course being on the list legend! And RCA needs to update Xtina ASAP!

It has to be close to 2x platinum. Rihanna has about 2 more r9 and 10 if she even cares to put out any music she can pass Celine but not sure she will past Mariah.

As of December 2016, COADF sold 1.734M pure. Add in the TEA from Hung Up's pure sales at that point and we get 1.874M. I think it's safe to say it's past 1.9M with the TEA of the rest of the album, which means there only needs to be less than 150M US streams across all official platforms. Seeing as there's 516M WW streams for the album just from Spotify and YouTube alone, I'm confident it should either be past 2M or very close to it.
StrangerInTheDark Posted June 25, 2020 Posted June 25, 2020 10 minutes ago, lcylcy said: she's very unlikely to surpass Barbra honestly I feel like Barbra's record will stay there forever Well to be fair Madonna's Celebration should be 2xP instead of Gold, and both HC and COADF are eligible for 2xP under SPS rules. But since she is not with Warner her catalog will never be re-certified unlike Mariah's who's most likely to get it in few years since she cares and her catalog is frequently re-certified both singles and albums...

In May 2018 we had SS leaks, these were SPS numbers for COADf and Celebration Confessions on a Dance Floor 2,016,961 (1xP) Celebration 2,357,600 (Gold) And if they wanted to they could give SPS from singles to GHV2 and it could also be 2xP, without it it's at 1,689,370 SPS
UnusualBoy Posted June 25, 2020 Posted June 25, 2020 They need to get their thing together with Britney. BOMT is 14x platinum when it can pass 15x platinum with SPS Oops is 10x platinum, most likely 11x platinum by now with SPS Britney is 4x platinum, should be 5x platinum now ITZ is 2x platinum, it should be almost 4x platinum with SPS GH: MP is 1x platinum when it should be 2x platinum by now with SPS Circus is at 1.7m in pure sales, certified 1x platinum, it should be 2x or 3x platinum with SPS Not sure about Blackout and FF, both are platinum but not sure how close they can be to 2x platinum with SPS

Blackout - 1x Platinum (sales only) Gimme More - 3x P POM - 3x P BTI - P Radar - P Blackout is going to be a rare case. They can use Radar for Circus to push it closer to 3x P, but Blackout needs it to be 2x P.
