You were highlighting Mariah Carey. Looking into those figures, I think Celine did really well in the US itself.

So suddenly, it's clear to me

Things change

Our future lies in here and now

We live it through somehow

 

Now the greatest reward

Is the love that I can give

I'm here for you now

For as long as I live

You made me who I am

Go Mariah! As Simon Cowell said, she really is, quite simply, the biggest star on the planet. hehe. Nah, Celine will catch her, no probs

Good job Celine! You will be at no.5 for at least 5 years!

Go Mariah!! :clap:

 

 

:P

 

 

 

At least Celine's still hanging in the Top 5 and the gap between her sales and George Strait's is almost 10 million so I don't think her 5th position will be overtaken anytime soon. I just hate the fact that Metallica may overtake Mariah like they did Celine. Ooh, how I cannot stand that band! ^_^

Music industry is in trouble. Sure this wasn't her most succesful year but look at the facts:

 

The biggest seller of 2005 worldwide I think were Coldplay with 12 million copies sold... in 2008 the biggest selling album is again by Coldplay with over 6 million copies sold. That is just sad...

He did say it when she was at X-Factor a few months ago.

no. Barbra Streisand, Madonna Mariah Carey (and Whitney Houston? wth!) are still ahead of Celine in the US. this list only focuses on their album sales from 1991-present. but that doesn't change the fact that she's still the highest selling female music artist in the planet. :P

She has acually sold 62M albums in the US. The SS data don't include her club sales.

What is club sales?

They represent what you buy directly from the recording company.

Can't this forum discipline itself to confine discussions of Mariah's sales to the OT? :xmas_huh: It's not like Mariah Daily is anywhere near as democratic as this forum.

It's sales only from 1991 onwards and Madonna was especially successful in the eighties.

i have a question regarding the list of the top 10 best selling albums of Soundscan.

 

where is Britney Spears' ...Baby One More Time? it reached 13x Platinum in the US alone, so i'm wondering why she didn't make it in this list. :confused:
