Only your own alternative reality. In the real reality Xtina's last album with a #1 hit was released in 1999.

Do you want to talk about #1?

Just to put you in context Xtina's fourth album was Bionic which ended her career for good and Britney's was ITZ which spanned her biggest classic to date, a song that outstreams some of Xtina's full albums daily.

It's not my fault you can't count. Stripped is her fourth studio album, whether you like it or not.

1. Yeah, because the label updates Christina's certificates every week.

2. Stripped is not X's best-selling album

3. you always find an excuse for everything

 

And you know what? Xtina you are such a legend, you still piss people off after all these years

 

Yea, you're right, it's her second best-selling album...It still does not shun the fact that it outsells Britney's fourth best-selling album. I'd get where you're coming from if it was on par with Britney's second-biggest album but that is not the case. That too, Britney's fourth album in question still has 'Toxic'- one of the biggest classics from the 2000s (as proven by its 1 billion streams on Spotify, an app that rose into prominence 10-13 years later). Oh, and how about 'In The Zone' being the 8th best-selling album of 2003 (with one month of tracking) while Stripped was the 10th best-selling album of 2003 (with an entire year)? Also, didn't RIAA have a 2022 article about 'Stripped' having sold 12 million copies? The ITZ era is still discussed to this day, from influencing contemporary acclaimed artists like the Weeknd to the iconic 'Toxic' MV, and memorable outfits. Plus, she did that with an era that was cut short. So maybe it isn't as far-off as you'd like to think it is in being out-performed

And? Xtina's last album with a #1 was released in 1999 she failed to score a #1 with digital sales the peak of pop stars.

Exactly. I don't know what they're talking about when Britney's 1999-2000 album sales alone are way ahead of Xtina's first four albums from 1999-2010.

and many MANY more

 

Following its release and five successful singles, Stripped became one of Aguilera's strongest charting albums.^[108] In the United States, the album became the tenth bestselling album of 2003, and Aguilera was ranked as the most successful female pop artist of the year with six chart entries.^[108] Likewise, Aguilera was the fourth most successful female musical act on the US Billboard 200, and the thirteenth overall.^[108] Due to the successful single releases, the magazine ranked Aguilera as the second bestselling female singles artist on the US Billboard Hot 100, only behind Beyoncé, and the top female Mainstream Top 40 artist.^[108] In 2017, Billboard named Stripped as one of the most important albums of the 2000s, noting the cultural and sonic influence the album had on an array of artists including Rihanna, Demi Lovato, Miley Cyrus and Ariana Grande.^[109] They added that,

Ultimately, Christina defining herself as Stripped was not an ode to her sexually empowered image, but representative of her peeling back layers and getting to the music and emotions that make up the vocal powerhouse as a human, including all her darkness, fears and insecurities.^[109]

Selena Gomez cited Stripped as an inspiration for her second studio album Revival (2015), saying: "That's one of my favorite albums and that was kind of what I started off Revival as, some sort of story. I mean, that album for her was incredible — 'Beautiful', 'Can't Hold Us Down', all of that — that's the stuff that I love". She added: "That was an album, that was complete on my record. I have 'Rise', 'Survivors', 'Revival', 'Kill Em with Kindness'. My stuff is full on, it's an album, it's a piece, it's something that I'm proud of."^[110] In an interview with People, Demi Lovato said that their album Tell Me You Love Me (2017) was inspired by Stripped.^[111] They stated that they "grew up listening to Christina Aguilera" and explained that they were "inspired by the black and white artwork".^[111] Sabrina Carpenter has also stated that after she heard the album, she "knew that [she] wanted to sing" and she began to see "songs as a part of what [she] could do to showcase and develop [her] own voice".^[112] The album was included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.^[113] Justin Myers of the Official Charts Company called the album "a phenomenon".^[114]

Despite the heavy criticism received upon release, Stripped has gone on to earn widespread acclaim, years after its release. The album's fifteenth anniversary in 2017 saw many critics reevaluate the album in their articles, praising the album's longevity, musicality, cohesion, and its lasting impact and influence in contemporary music.^[115] Vice writer Sophie Wilkinson stated in a retrospective review, "Say what you like about the flailing 'Dirrty' dance routines it spawned, but Christina Aguilera's sophomore album Stripped still has merits beyond the cliché of a former teen star removing her saccharine casing to reveal her womanhood".^[116] She added that the album relayed feministic messages and that "15 years on, the album still gives any woman the confidence to speak up and be heard, to take charge of her sexuality and ownership of her body, or even just sing along loud enough to amplify its messages".^[116]

In a Billboard article, Jeff Benjamin praised the album's ability to shift between genres and the personal content featured. He went on to say that Aguilera was continuing the legacy that "Aguilera helped build after the likes of Donna Summer, Madonna and Cher". Benjamin also praised Aguilera for her feminist sentiment on the album's second track and fourth single "Can't Hold Us Down", while maintaining an openly sexual image, noting that it was not expected of feminists to be sexual at the time of the album's release.^[109] Idolator praised Stripped for remaining a "cohesive and forward-thinking collection of songs" 15 years after its release and noted its impact in contemporary music, while also stating that Stripped became "the blueprint for divas making the transition from teen idol to adult pop star".^[117][118] That same year, The Fader named it one of the greatest, most "crucial" albums recorded by women.^[119]

Later that year, HuffPost noted that with Stripped, Aguilera led the charge at the beginning of the 21st century in influencing and introducing the next generation feminist rhetoric into pop culture.^[120] In 2018, the enduring impact of Stripped was noted by the Los Angeles Times and several other pop media outlets including Fuse, Genius and Vinyl with consensus; "Stripped proves as the blueprint for honest and raw female pop".^[121][122] Crack writer Emma Garland called the album a "re-introduction to Christina Aguilera on her own terms".^[123] She added that the album "is best measured by its cultural impact on those it was always intended for – a mass audience of young people who [...] had spent much of the late 90's and early 00's being patronised by an industry that served them dynamic but spiritually void bubblegum pop washed down with empowerment slogans from the Spice Girls".^[123] PopMatters editor Kimberley Hill named Stripped "one of 2002’s most intelligent and successful outings and among its most controversial, too", and praised the album for "tackling once-taboo subjects such as casual sex, infidelity, misogyny, feminism, and domestic violence".^[124]

Well imagine how big of a bomb were those albums in between Stripped that people forget they existed entirely.

Don't worry, I've read that Wikipedia section too  It still doesn't take away from ITZ being referenced as a source of influence in 2022 while the latest reference to Stripped as an influence was 7 years ago (no shade to Stripped cuz it is a fantastic album and indeed impactful)

Ok? Like making illogical comparisons such as comparing Xtina's second-best performing album to Britney's fourth-best-performing album is any better  I can't be the one in a bubble since there has never been any source that has ever stated Xtina outsold Britney

Olivia with Sour if she's counted as a MPG. Otherwise, Ariana.

Loud has singles with great recurring streams today

Why midnights singles except for AH are not even doing good atm

Can you name a Rihanna song that’s currently outstreaming Karma? It doesn’t have to be from Loud

Even when her singles couldn't compete with the other MPGs, the whole BTD album and era are far from being a small peak

Why would any song from 2010 (Loud), not even from Rihanna, currently have more than 1.4M daily streams on Spotify regardless of popularity.

 

Not even including the fact that songs more well-known or popularity doesn't translate to streams on Spotify such as Thriller having 294K daily streams and Hype Boy by NewJeans having 531K daily. No Hype Boy isn't a more well known song than Thriller. Yes it is getting more streams and will surpass Thriller on Spotify but Thriller is the bigger song even if it isn't streamed as much in current day.

 

Yes newer songs and acts that are popular within the streaming era will always have more streams than acts that were popular before it. Even if the act or song itself isn't as globally known it will still be bigger on streaming platforms.

 

 

That is such a simple fact I don't know why people struggle to understand that.

 

The same way if Taylor was famous as she was now 20-30 years ago would have extremely large physical sales but her streams would be mid in current day compared to whomever was big in this theoretical era. The same way likely Taylor's streaming records will be demolished 10-30 years from now. As things change so do records.

 

That doesn't mean the fact that some B-Lister rivaling her stream records of today or surpassing them has bigger songs than Taylor. It just means that they are in an era where the standards are different, music consumption has changed, and the amount of people who can listen to said music at their leisure has increased as the year is 2033-2053. Things changed.

It's definitely Demi Lovato but nobody puts her in the MPG category to be fair. If we don't count Demi it's probably Christina Aguilera: her commercial success has always been much much weaker than everyone else, her songs' sales were tragic for 95% of them, she wasn't particularly popular at her peak just famous for going the Britney Spears route.

Selena and Miley have wayy smaller peaks units wise

[Kimi]

9 pages enough of this nonsense, lets focus on music sold 

The smallest peak ears according to CHARTMASTERS:

 

Ariana Grande - My Everything 13.9M

Fergie - The Dutchess 13.8M

Jennifer Lopez - J.Lo 12.7M

Gwen Stefani - Love. Angel. Music. Baby. 12M

Kylie Minogue - Fever 11.1M

Meghan Trainor - Title 10.4M

Lorde - Pure Heroine 10.3M

Doja Cat - Planet Her - 8.6M

Carly Rae Jepsen - 8.4M

SZA - SOS 8.1M

Miley Cyrus - Bangerz 7.6M

Selena Gomez - Revival 5.5M

 

Selena is THE smallest MPG peak wise, social media fame is something different i guess Miley is also very small
