We weren't talking about who actually sold more because this one is obvious. We were talking about who was bigger at their time: If only total sales were relevant for this, 18 out of the 20 biggest hits in history (well, since 1958) in the U.S. would have been released in the last 4 years. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-...e_United_States I think we all agree that these can't be considered as the biggest hits of all times.

It's not. If an album sells 100,000 copies in a country with a population of 1 million and another one sells 200,000 copies in a country with a population of 20 million, you can't say that the second one was more successful in its country. The same applies to comparisons of sales from the 90s and today, only that it's not population but market size that differs.

Are the worldwide sales numbers for the Spice Girls albums on Wikipedia accurate? (23 / 20 million for Spice / Spiceworld) Then I think we can at least say that 21 is more successful than any Spice Girls album was, if you consider the market conditions (In Germany she'll even sell more). Of course, if you look at their cultural impact, only a few acts can beat the Spice Girls.
