Posted October 30, 200618 yr Let's make a list of the artists you think are the biggest around the world... (You can divide them by zones but you have to post your choice for WorldWide)... It's based on combined sales Now... Since I don't want people to get in a fight between who's bigger (Mariah or Madonna)... We'll be using 1998 - 2006 and you will be able to vote until Nov 15 Choose a max. of 5 artists... It's not only Album wise...

October 30, 200618 yr Author Will it be based on album or singles sales, or combined? :unsure: Combined ;)
October 30, 200618 yr It's definatly Madonna I think. Since 1998, it dificult to know worldwide singles sales for anyone but album sales Madge has sold over 50 million since 98 as far as I know ^_^ I dont know who would be second though. Possibly Mariah :unsure:
October 30, 200618 yr 1 Robbie Williams 2 Backstreet Boys Shakira 3 Britney Spears 4 Santana 5 Celine Dion Not going for Madonna as many sales prior to 1996 1998 Edit: Not sure about Celion because much sales in 1997, however that will do for now!
October 30, 200618 yr Author My list Shakira (35 million albums + lots of singles) Madonna Robbie Williams Eminem
October 30, 200618 yr - Madonna - Britney Spears - Jennifer Lopez - The Backstreet Boys - Christina Aguilera - The Black Eyed Peas - Robbie Williams - Eminem - Shakira - Destiny's Child - Red Hot Chili Peppers[/font] According to Wikipedia Madge has sold over 47 million singles since 98 & over 50 million album so she is definatly #1. Britney is probebly #2 and Mariah #3 ^_^ The BEP's have only sold about 20 million records since 98. Robbie has sold well over 50 million. J'lo has'nt sold a huge amount I don't think. :unsure: Eminem has sold over 60 million albums alone :o
October 30, 200618 yr Author That's why I told you... you could add anyone you like... (By the way Wikipedia is not a reliable source) Madonna has sold less than 40 millions in that period...
October 30, 200618 yr The Top 5 I think :D 1. Madonna 2. Britney 3. Eminem 4. Mariah 5. Backstreet Boys
October 30, 200618 yr there are so many artists who do so well everywhere except america ,robbie williams and oasis been prime examples but i suppose thats another topic
October 30, 200618 yr That's why I told you... you could add anyone you like... (By the way Wikipedia is not a reliable source) Madonna has sold less than 40 millions in that period... I know Wikipedia can be false but alot of the discovery they have is actually proven by the RIAA sales etc. Ray of light - 17 million Music - 15 million GHV2 - 7 million American Life - 4 -5 million Remixed & Revisited - 1 million + Confessions - 8 million +
October 30, 200618 yr there are so many artists who do so well everywhere except america ,robbie williams and oasis been prime examples but i suppose thats another topic Yeah since 98 I doubt there are very many who have sold as much outiside the US as Robbie. He ha sold about 60 million records. Madonna probebly sold more since 98 but it's hard to tell how much she sold outside the US :unsure: Oasis had some succes in the US but mostly before 98 :lol:
October 30, 200618 yr GHV2 - 7 million Wasn't this a flop? :huh: Oh and before the Madge fans get on their high horse, YES Glitter flopped.
October 30, 200618 yr Wasn't this a flop? :huh: Oh and before the Madge fans get on their high horse, YES Glitter flopped. I don't think it was a flop, just compared to hear previous GH did'nt do well ^_^
October 30, 200618 yr I don't think it was a flop, just compared to hear previous GH did'nt do well ^_^ GHV1 was a hit I know that, but even her own fans class it as a flop, I would have thought 5m MAX.
October 30, 200618 yr Since I don't want people to get in a fight between who's bigger (Mariah or Madonna)... We'll be using 1998 - 2006 and you will be able to vote until Nov 15 Oh and GREAT move on this first bit Alex, both fans tend to go for the throat a bit. :lol: Being a Mariah fan I can vouch for it. :lol:
