The Remixes and MCIIYou should go platinum too eventually and I’m sure E=MC2 is eligible for 2x plat.

I don't think you can really compare certifications achieved via streaming to those achieved with pure sales so Mariah has a definite advantage over Barbra. 

Overall Barbras total is more impressive than Mariahs, seeing as Barbras is practically all pure sales.

how is it Mariah's fault that Barbra couldn't adapt to the changing music market? :rip: if anything, Mariah's staying power and ability to transition to a different market of music consumption despite being a legacy act should be lauded.

Not really. You wouldn't really expect Barbra to be going viral on tic toc. She is also almost 90 so Mariah has a clear advantage.

well i mean lets not act like Mariah doesnt have age, recent and relevant nostalgia and a whole different catalog of hits/career than Barbra. If anything, the fact that its only until 2019 that Mariah over took her is the real slay in the whole conversation.

 

OT: not surprised at all its what happens when you are relevant and have a successful and beloved catalog!

So go make a thread about that and stop whining/trolling here. This thread is about Mariah Carey being the most certified female artist in the U.S.

Mariah is also the Soundscan and Billboard #1 female in the US so cry elsewhere.

She's the all-time #1 non-Asian artist (male or female) in the largest international music market, Japan :ahh:
