Lmao at Katy breaking up with Diploid
He was like the best looking guy she's been with since Travie, oh well.

Again, Bruce is legitimately more legendary and iconic than Mariah will ever be. And true, he might be a little relegated to White America but Mariah doesn't have a hold on anything at all.

Adele is next?

The fact that it yielded a #1 single makes the decline in album sales even more TRAGIC.

The "Rainbow" --> "Glitter" decline is comparable by proportion.

Only with a starting point that was 5x smaller.

Damien, let's go shoot people.

Bruce Springsteen has had more longevity (in life) than AAliyah.

A mess.

true hes a rock legend and she is a pop one.

Yeah, but that would be still more than 98% of the artists now, especially Gaga's yet-to-achieve-700k album.

He's 15 and his main weapon is Wikipedia receipts and unfunny trolling. Mariah lost.

Excuse me.

@chartnews: Billboard 200: #95 ARTPOP, @ladygaga 4,000 (704,000 total).

Hive knows Beyonce, clearly others don't. She knew what she wanted over a decade ago.

5:25 and on.

Doom.

It's at 704k now but nice try

Adele will at worst do 3x Platinum. Similar to Norah who went from 10x Platinum to 4x Platinum.

The only one to actually sustain that level was Celine and she did it by releasing a year and a half later and thanks to Titanic.

Mariah is not a legend. She doesn't have the impact or notoriety to be one.

It's a bit Janet-ish how she could never turn all of her chart success in the 90s into any actual traction on culture or impress her memory upon people.

I know people always use the untrue drag about Rihanna, but Mariah literally did/does not exist when her songs weren't charting.

The only market he went 16x in was the US. You can't compare 16x Platinum in the US to 1x Platinum in the UK That doesn't make sense. He went 16x to 3x in the US which is bad, but not worse than 10x to 1xP.
