Madonna sold over 300M physicals alone. Madonna did not sell 300m pure album sales. album sales: 200m single sales: 125m DVD/live albums: 10m 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonicap Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 A physical sales list to compare artists from very different generations With this method, Drake and Bad Bunny are less successful artists than Bjork or Kelly Clarkson. Also, what Chartmasters lists as "other LPs" and "physical singles (ratioed)" are physical sales as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Slayne Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Bjork's success is so underrated. ATRLers always see her as some niche alt gay figure but she was actually very mainstream and popular with the GP in the 90s and early 00s 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odeon Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 8 hours ago, Oktober Knight said: I'm confused. ATRL said Gaga is the biggest artist in music history, but she's number 21 in the list. This has to be false. Imagine using an unofficial blog to compare pure album sales from someone who debuted in the 80's to someone who debuted in the late 2000's... Should we compare digital song sales and streams of both then? Just when I thought Madonna fans couldn't be more clueless... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eli's_rhythm Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 I know damn well Janet has sold more than that. Most sources put her around 65-70M pure. She’s always been toe to toe with Shania and Enya. Still a good placement, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marianah Adkins Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Slay at them girls I’m very pertrubed by the fact that a particular fanbase of a certain successful artist is out here reporting and downvoting every post that doesnt fit with their agenda lmao (and they do the same in other threads that doesnt attack an artist lol). The insecurity must be delicious enough for them to continue being pressed for no reason lmao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
