It's great diversity for the 2000s decade.
I doubt that will be the case for this decade although for sure you'll have
20M+ club
...
24M+ ish...Adele 13M+ two or three more albums
20M+ ish...Taylor swift 11M+ already three more albums
10M+ club
...
10M Katy Perry 3M+ 2-3 more albums
...
10M ish Drake 4.5M+ the rest of this era and 3 more albums (secretly hoping he can surpass Eminem and be the top rapper of the decade)
10M ish Eminem 4.5M+2 more albums
10M+ish Justin Bieber 7M+ probably 2 more albums
5M+ club
...
9M+ish Jay Z 4M+3-4 more albums
9M+ish Rihanna 3M plus like 10 more albums
8M+ish Bruno Mars 4M+2 more albums
8M+ ish Justin Timberlake 3M+ maybe 1-2 more albums
8.5M+ish Lil wayne 4.5M+ 3-4 more albums
7M ish Nicki Minaj 2.5M+3 more albums
7M ish Pink 3M+ 2 more albums
7M ish Gaga 2.5M+3 more albums
6M ish Beyonce 1.5M+ 3 more albums
5M ish Britney 1M+3 more albums
5M ish Usher 2M+ 3 more albums
I suspect if Nicki can put out 3 more platinum albums that actually sell over 1M she can make top 15 hopefully at 10 with about 7M US (13M WW) by end of the decade. For sure she will round out the top 5 album sellers of rappers and can easily be top 3 digital seller for rappers if not #1...will be top 5 overall digital seller overall.
