Her tour was a massive underperformance grossing only $69m WW. That is why people rightfully called her a singles artist. You cant come now, 14 years later in the streaming era and say she wasnt a singles artist The streams of all 8 singles added up to the album's total units. This does not mean she's now an album artist The album charted for 4 years on Billboard 200 before the SPS era (meaning no singles were added to the album units). 200k debut, 3M sold, 200 weeks charting = SMASH album 1M debut, 2M sold, 60 weeks charting = Frontloaded / flop album 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This does not mean she's now an album artist It's almost as if the album was judged by wrong standards and the streaming era brought the music industry into the present. She truly changed the music industry with her diamond album (which is difficult to get, not everyone has that). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
