Jjang Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 According to ChartMasters' methodology. 1. Madonna - 248,676,000 2. Celine - 199,585,000 3. Taylor - 183,481,000 ------ 4. Mariah Carey - 178,165,000 5. Whitney Houston - 159,138,000 Both Celine & Taylor will most likely get there next year. However, do you think any other female can join their company, or is this trinity forever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She-Rah Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 I doubt any other girl will join or displace those 3 from that trinity. adele could’ve but she’s already shown massive decline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
State of Grace. Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Maybe Mariah's Christmas song/album can get her there eventually. Otherwise, that's the trinity forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byzantium Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Considering there are only three, it seems like a once in a 20 year situation. So maybe in 2040 we will have our #4th women to get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klein Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 I honestly find it insane that Taylor is already up there while still being at her absolute career peak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feanor Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Mariah should join them eventually too, her Xmas catalog always does great numbers every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chartman Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Later in our life Rihanna and Adele should joint the 200M female club. From their strength of catalog units. As for Taylor she has much bigger plans than 200M career units. She will be at this mark in the first half of the next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexz Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 7 minutes ago, Jjang said: What’s wrong with it? Nobody knows hoy many "units" Madonna sold in Africa, Asia and LATAM before streaming so these "estimations" will always be wrong because now the entire market is open with exact numbers and that makes the biggest streaming acts like Taylor look bigger or equal to the pioneers of 30 years ago. It's very simple actually. 2 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTS is much bigger than BSB tbh, they’ve been massive for almost a decade on the most populous continent and pretty succesful, at least units-wise, in the west as well. 6 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
