theres been lots of names thrown around over many years, but who actually is the biggest selling female of all time?

 

The names most commonly thrown around are:

 

Mariah Carey

Madonna

Celine Dion

Nana Moskouri

 

now people say Madonna is the biggest selling female with 155 million, but ive heard that Celine has sold 185 million. Even so, on eurovision, they said that nana Moskouri has sold over 300 million, so how come people always put madonna at #1 if Nana's chart success has been confirmed?

because madonna is known more, but has less sales. Alla Pugacheva claims to have sales of more than 250 million! whoever the hell she is!

But maybe their sales are of albums+singles combined. I believe Madonna's sales of 155 million are purely on albums.

Also, I thought it was Mariah who had the honour of being the biggest selling female :unsure:

i know it would be a long night lol! :P
:lol: We would! And it would cause arguments and such probably :P

....especially if i start...right Davis?? :)

 

I will say that Madonna has sold 170 million albums world wide, not 155 like the guess-men are saying!

 

I welcome the fact that Sealion and that Nana chick may have sold 'slightly' more but nothing proves it much really.

 

And i'm sorry but Eurovision, Eurovision.....talk about the best-selling females..?? wot a joke...they dnt have a clue man, jokers!! :)

isnt 155 million madonna's combined sales,i read that celine dion has sold more albums than madonna but madonna has sold buket loads more singles

isnt 155 million madonna's combined sales,i read that celine dion has sold more albums than madonna but madonna has sold buket loads more singles

 

No, I think combined sales would show a 250 million (or more) figure for Madonna.

Hmmm that weirdo, Madonna, Mariah, Nana, Celine and Whitney were in the top 20 biggest album acs of all time in that order if I remember rightly....The sales escape me but I'm positive we had a thread on it in here?
I know Kylie is in the top 10.

I believe Jentina and Lisa Scott-Lee are vying for the crown.

 

:lol:

I think it is Nana Mourskouri (sp?). I'd say Celine Dion, Whitney, Madonna and Kylie would be up there too in the top five? And Mariah where would she be?

 

Apparently Enya is the 12th biggest selling female ^_^ and would Kate Bush be fairly high too?
