ATRL trying to paint her as a flop but the stats dont lie!

 

[StarsAllAligned]

Miley was always dominating with sales  PITUSA is a classic. Selena was never an album seller but her singles always sold really well for how low they charted and she also transitioned into the streaming era really well

YES MILEY YES LEGEND

Wait, not Billboard starting to give out the total career album units for artists.

They did it for Ariana too, hopefully they keep it up for all future artist updates.

RCA will add 23 to Bangerz for the 10th anniversary edition, so it won't take long for it to become her most-consumed album. Multiple +4M albums in the US, we love to see it!

I know they haven't been active for years but the single best part of ATRL classic coming back for me was absolutely 'JessieJHeartbeat, is this you?'

The way RIAA updated it's certification to 12x plat earlier this year and it's already at 13.7M sps units, insane. 

 

Do we even know which song is the highest-female single of all time in the US? If it isn't PITUSA yet, I think it's really close to get there.

 

[brenda-walsh]

Revival isn't even 3x platinum yet?

I think it's either Dark Horse or Shake It Off (both of which are both comfortably over 16x eligible from the most recent update) from the billions of US YouTube streams 

 

But yeah, PITUSA is in the upper upper echelon of the biggest female hits this century, alongside those two, Bad Romance, RITD, etc...

Oh wow, excellent figures for Miley, I didn't know she had pulled so many.   

[BadBoy]

and they try to put Selena to Miley’s level… 

[Pheromosa]

not gonna lie, I thought Miley's sales would be way more
