Anyways I should've clarified cause I'm tracking only 2020s albums (mostly cause catalog consumption is much harder to estimate)
 

Wait Lover is about to surpass SOUR in 2020s units? 
 

And with less pure sales mind you just in case someone wants to cry about that

Yeah I know, and you shouldn't even bother in the first place since albums that weren't released this decade shouldn't be in the conversation until the second half of the decade and even then, they would be rare, but this mega smash is a special case...

This must be more 5X plat albums than any other artist, no? 

 

The Beatles have 11 albums certified at 5xP or higher... and probably 12 - 14 which have surpassed 5 million, but are certified for less. 

 

1964 - 5xP - Meet The Beatles

1965 - 6xP - Rubber Soul

1966 - 5xP - Revolver

1967 - 11xP - Sgt. Pepper

1967 - 6xP - Magical Mystery

1968 - 24xP - The Beatles

1969 - 12xP - Abbey Road

1973 - 15xP - 1962-1966

1973 - 17xP - 1967-1970

1995 - 8xP - Anthology

2000 - 11xP - 1

 

Probably eligible:

 

1964 - 4xP - A Hard Days Night

1970 - 4xP - Let It Be

1994 - 4xP - Live at The BBC

1996 - 4xP - Anthology 2

It's crazy how all her studio albums have potential to go Diamond eventually except reputation (cause of TV stopping it's bag) and evermore

All 10 of her albums will be diamond if combined with the re-record.

The re-record is just a glorified re-issue. Like most major artists did it with their classic albums.

My fave dropped an album more than 20 years ago that outsold this so this is a flop....
