Taylor ain’t passing Madonna… even if her next 5 albums sell a million. :deadbanana4:

also this list ain’t even fully right. Madonna sold over 300M physicals alone. 

Madonna did not sell 300m pure album sales.

 

album sales: 200m

single sales: 125m

DVD/live albums: 10m

I'm surprised to see Carrie and no Helene

It doesn't seem like CM provided their stats. In case people want to accuse me of being anti-German now too :chick2:

A physical sales list to compare artists from very different generations :dies:

 

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.

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

I'm not 

 

The thread is just misleading on top of using an unofficial source

I’m sorry you’ve been mislead. the OP clearly states in bold that the numbers at hand are pure album sales which should clear all confusion :bird:

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? :emofish: Just when I thought Madonna fans couldn't be more clueless...

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.

Slay at them girls :jonny6:

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.

They have been trying to forget that she is Top10

reading the title, they've probably had PTSD and were unable to enter the thread :fan:
