October 10, 20213 yr And ASIB is at #47, above other legendary albums like Madonna's True Blue and Like a Virgin, Katy Perry's Teenage Dream, Tina Turner's Private Dancer, Beyoncé's I'm Sasha Fierce, Britney's Oops, and Rihanna’s Good Girl Gone Bad.
October 16, 20213 yr 9th best selling female album in UK history apparently. Things were done. :clap:

October 17, 20213 yr The Fame is actually the eighth best-selling female album (and should jump to #6 soon), as the Spice Girls are not a singer, but a group. Edited October 17, 20213 yr by Adelita
October 17, 20213 yr Finally found the article too: https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/t...evealed__34224/ Yes that's the one - sorry should've linked the source :P
October 17, 20213 yr The Fame is actually the eighth best-selling female album (and should jump to #6 soon), as the Spice Girls are not a singer, but a group. It’s a list of albums by female acts and Spice is an album by females!!
October 17, 20213 yr Author I think TF is outselling all others except Adele and Amy on a weekly basis?
October 17, 20213 yr It’s a list of albums by female acts and Spice is an album by females!! But it's a band, not a solo act, if we're going to follow that thought then ABBA should also be on the list.
October 17, 20213 yr But it's a band, not a solo act, if we're going to follow that thought then ABBA should also be on the list. It doesn’t say solo, it’s female albums. ABBA is a mixed act so they wouldn’t count.
October 17, 20213 yr It doesn’t say solo, it’s female albums. ABBA is a mixed act so they wouldn’t count. Spice Girls in the midst of only solo acts isn't correct.
October 17, 20213 yr That your option. No, that's the truth, we shouldn't put a girl group in the middle of female solo acts. As I said, if they included Spice Girls then they should have included ABBA as well, as as far as I know Frida and Agnetha are women, not men.

October 17, 20213 yr I think The Fame should be excluded from the list as it includes male artists on songs and this is a list of female artists.
October 17, 20213 yr I think The Fame should be excluded from the list as it includes male artists on songs and this is a list of female artists. Imagine thinking that saying that would be a good idea
October 17, 20213 yr ABBA have male members so they can't be a female act This doesn't invalidate the fact that they are women, and to say that ABBA can't be considered a female act just because it has men in it (who don't even sing in the songs) is a sexist statement. All I said is that a girl groups isn't the same as a female solo act.
October 17, 20213 yr All I said is that a girl groups isn't the same as a female solo act. Which has nothing to do with the fact that Official Charts published an article of best selling albums by female artists. Spice Girls are an all-female act, so they're applicable to be considered to have released a "female album". ABBA is not a female artist. They're a male and female artist, which makes them a mixed gender artist. Spice is by far the best selling album by a female group, that's why they're the only one amongst a list of solo female artists. The second best selling is 1.6m (Spice Girls again, with Spiceworld) which is too low for this list.
October 17, 20213 yr This doesn't invalidate the fact that they are women, and to say that ABBA can't be considered a female act just because it has men in it (who don't even sing in the songs) is a sexist statement. All I said is that a girl groups isn't the same as a female solo act. What are you on about? Do you have any idea how ridiculous you sound? ABBA are not an all-female act, that's a fact. There is nothing sexist or invalidating about it.
