It's okay, no one is comparing Britney to Taylor, Taylor is at 211M total units at this point, overtaking  Madonna by the end of the year as the 5th bestselling artist of all time. Britney is sitting comfortably at #50 or so with less than half of that amount sold 

 

 

different stratosphere of artists were talking about here 

Streaming equivalent units is the dumbest most unrealistic measurement when an album can inflate its numbers by its numbers of tracks. So you are right, different zip codes here buddy.

This thread is about pure album sales. But thank you for pointing out that people can't bother to listen to Britney's music for even 31 seconds

Britney continues to grow more on streaming each year despite being on indefinite hiatus and 26 years into her career :cm:

 

You're literally one of those swifties that hates on any female that isn't Taylor, are you not embarrassed? :rip:

By authenticity, I mean people were actually going out and buying her albums without extra variants.

Exactly back then at "the hEiGhT of album sales!!!" People actually had to take their spare time to go out into the real world in stores to buy their faves albums, there was no instant access to streaming or itunes. That's when pure sales were the most authentic. Also Britney didn't need Variants either :foxaylove3:

The three biggest female artists of their respective generations are white (Madonna, then Britney and then Taylor). Beyonce's success is amazing, the biggest black female artist of all time.

Give a white girl access to internet and that's the formula.

No matter the source, Brit would still be at least top 5 and XtiN/A at the bottom if they're feeling generous with the cut out. The absolute emptiness in that little head of yours.

 

Also, no need to downplay Taylor's or Brit's success. They both came out on top of their respective generations and their peers all had the same tools as them in their arsen/al yet failed to even come close to them.

sorry ATRL user @dumbsparce, I have never have and never will use an instagram fan page as a trusted source.

You went from "no matter the source" to find a "more credible source".

So which one is it? Does the original source (itsbritneymeme) not fit your criteria as you've mentioned?

No matter the source = from least to most credible. All of which will put Britney (and many others) above cantchartin/a. Stop embarrassing yourself.

That's a new one I will definitely use only because of that one delulu fan in this thread. THOSE fans can't even accept the receipts, like…

Britney debuted at the height of album sales... The fact that Taylor passed her speaks volume about the gap in their popularity

Enough with this excuse. Britney WAS the height of cd sales with nsync and bsb, Eminem and others.
 

Or where are xtinas diamond albums?


Or are you guys claiming the 80s was the height of whatever medium MJ and Madonna had their massive sales?

 

OT: if they're gonna count the streams equivalent for the streaming era then they should figure out a way to count the countless times we watched videos on mtv and played their CDs till they scratched lol

Remember when Telephone Demo by Britney was the most downloaded track of 2011? Imagine not lifting a finger as Britney yet still getting this kind of fan support. I wish THOSE fans could relate :cries:
