sunbathinganimal Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 I was perusing chartmasters.org and was shocked to discover that 16-time Grammy loser Björk ranks above Harry Styles, and places in the top 150 best selling artists of all time. The Fagurt Er í Fjörðum chanteuse also tops Cardi B, Gwen Stefani, and many more. Are you as surprised by this revelation as I was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATRL Moderator madonnas Posted May 1, 2023 ATRL Moderator Share Posted May 1, 2023 lol @ this thread and no I’m not surprised. A lot of people think she’s like a flop or whatever but she’s actually famous. Plus she peaked in the 90s when alternative acts could sell albums easier.

ninasayers Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 She was mainstream during the 90s, people seem to forget about that. And we stan Björk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holiest Dreams Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 In all seriousness no I am not. He will of course outsell her but Bjork isn’t this unknown indie act that many would have you believe. Yes, she is indie/alt in genre and not a massive chart force, but she actually had pretty good numbers at her peak, and even into the early ‘00s.

NoOneDiesFromLove Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Björk could do As It Was but that Man couldn’t do Earth Intruders, Pagan Poetry or Pluto. The answer is obvious. No, no one’s surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikeymoonshine Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Yeah as others have said she was pretty big in the nineties, she has albums that went platinum in the US and she was big in quite a lot of countries too. I think it's interesting that Bjork was arguably bigger in the US than Kate Bush before the RUTH ressurgange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phaunzie Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 This really isn't a fix, that you think it is. Bjork has always been popular, she is like Radiohead, Depeche Mode and Massive Attack levels of success, i.e extremely popular. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
