Intuition Posted April 12, 2023 Posted April 12, 2023 Surprised Britney is N/A even though she though she peaked in the physical era.
Zoe_ Posted April 12, 2023 Posted April 12, 2023 Whitney and Madonna slaying with 2 albums each in the top 10. I'm sure some figures are missing.

This is basically a list to albums up to 2005 with mostly being 90s.
Mystic Boy Posted April 12, 2023 Posted April 12, 2023 Swifties are mad OT: Madonna and especially the MUSIC figure
Dark Miracles Posted April 12, 2023 Posted April 12, 2023 Music above Like A Prayer. Madonna's career towers over all the others in the end

Not that different to the OP. Certifications are automatic here, 1989 is still currently certified 5x Platinum less than Ray of Light (#30) which is 6x Platinum so I stand corrected either way Taylor does not have an album in the Top 30. Get over it
Otter Posted April 12, 2023 Posted April 12, 2023 (edited) Essentially best selling albums pre-2013. Still with a bias towards pre 2000s music. The most impressive album is LOUD essentially competing with 90s albums in sales in 2010. Gaga is also very impressive but The Fame combined with The Fame Monster will always skew those numbers higher than its peers. Edited April 12, 2023 by Otter

Get over it Your obsession over Taylor is scary My point was the numbers weren't exact/updated, not that it would totally change the list.
