There's no point in threading old sales from 2011, and wrong info. X should now be on the list as well -
Quote:
Albums
8.2 million, "Christina Aguilera" (1999)
4.3 million, "Stripped" (2002)
1.7 million, "Back to Basics" (2006)
991,000, "My Kind of Christmas" (2000)
609,000, "Burlesque" soundtrack (with Cher) (2010)
495,000, "Keeps Getting' Better: A Decade of Hits" (2008)
484,000, "Mi Reflejo" (2000)
310,000, "Bionic" (2010)
128,000,"Just Be Free" (2001)
Total: 17.4 million

Unrealistically big gap between 49 and 50? Thats almost certainly not legit.

No Gaga, no Katy Perry and no Rihanna. How it should be.
He'd be #6 once MMLP2 ends its run.

Are these only albums?
This doesn't seem legit. Destiny's Child has sold 17.5 million albums in the US.
49) Van Halen (20,000,000)
50) Jimi Hendrix (16,700,000)

Hardly surprising given they all debuted ~70% through the time frame AND after album sales began a huge decline.
Taylor making it, even in the 40s, is a huge testament to her album selling power

Hasn't Adele sold like 34 million albums WW? Or am I reading this wrong?

Stop complaining about the gap between 49 and 50. Apparently Xtina is 50 with 17.4 million. I couldn't find any other receipts for #50. Instead of complaining, you can help me find receipts, like the Xtina stan did.

Well, this is since 1991. Most MJ sales are before 1991

Sorry but obviously people are going to comment on huge discrepancies like that.
#50 won't be Xtina either. For example let me help you since you demanded so nicely
Janet Jackson - 19,874,000 in September 2009.

Beyoncé sold 13.1 million albums solo and Destiny's Child sold 17.5 million albums as of October 2012. What's surprising?
