It’s kind of wild to think about how insane her 90s decade peak was  

—

 

with this update she’ll be at 76 million. Second place is Babs at 68.5 million. Madonna is at 65.5 but she’s eligible for 72, I think. @Jjang, is that right?

Suddenly I’m ok with the Mrs Claus cosplay 

 

Litter Box will hold on to that WW sales title for a while, though.

[Miss Show Business]

We need updated sales for her debut So close to Diamond... She could have four diamond albums

[Katamari]

how is debut not diamond yet  she better do a vinyl repressing and push some of its songs on streaming 

 

whats the sps count for Daydream and MB btw? 

[I54X]

Wow. 

[Bloodflowers.]

She needs to push her debut era singles by re-releasing them on radio stations that give spins to old classics as well as market those songs on internet playlists, video discussions and lists, etc.

where's the lie

[Scars]

I believe that it's diamond-eligible sis, but that account isn't a reliable source. They're always inflating sales. 

 

@chartdata is the reliable chart account.

Using a random stan twitter account as an official source is something I did not expect
