felixwhoals Posted January 1, 2009 at 01:37 PM Posted January 1, 2009 at 01:37 PM You were highlighting Mariah Carey. Looking into those figures, I think Celine did really well in the US itself.

stevo Posted January 1, 2009 at 03:01 PM Posted January 1, 2009 at 03:01 PM 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 Quote
Chula Posted January 1, 2009 at 03:37 PM Posted January 1, 2009 at 03:37 PM Good job Celine! You will be at no.5 for at least 5 years! Quote
dj4celine Posted January 1, 2009 at 04:05 PM Posted January 1, 2009 at 04:05 PM Go Mariah!! 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! Quote
Black Kitten Posted January 1, 2009 at 04:33 PM Posted January 1, 2009 at 04:33 PM woah!!! just over half a million copies less than Mariah's in the US? couldn't be more happier! so happy! omg how pathetic is this post! i meant around 1M. Quote

That is just sad... 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 Oh Puleeze.....Simon did not say that!!!

celinesounds Posted January 2, 2009 at 02:48 AM Posted January 2, 2009 at 02:48 AM not bad She is still the 2nd best selling female artist in US and #1 in the World Quote #FREEJAVITO
Black Kitten Posted January 2, 2009 at 08:23 AM Posted January 2, 2009 at 08:23 AM (edited) not bad She is still the 2nd best selling female artist in US and #1 in the Worldno. 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.

Prince Whiskers Posted January 3, 2009 at 11:57 AM Posted January 3, 2009 at 11:57 AM Can't this forum discipline itself to confine discussions of Mariah's sales to the OT? It's not like Mariah Daily is anywhere near as democratic as this forum. Quote http://cdn.webecoist.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/modern-pet-solo-blown-glass.jpg

Black Kitten Posted January 5, 2009 at 08:00 AM Posted January 5, 2009 at 08:00 AM 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.
