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 which is bad, but not worse than 10x to 1xP.
I was referring to him going 13x to 1x in Australia. My bad.
Most of those artists who did like 15x Platinum ended up doing like 3x Platinum the next era - look at Alanis Morrissette, Fleetwood Mac, Jewel, Hootie & The Blowfish, etc.
Not everyone can be Beyoncé.
Dangerously In Love - 5x platinum
B'Day - 3x platinum
I Am... Sasha Fierce - 3x platinum
4 - Platinum
BEYONCÉ - 2x platinum
wow can we just put Bruce in the has-been bin along with Madead?
His last real studio album (High Hopes which came out this year was a collection of outtakes) sold the same as ARTPOP and his tour literally did double so I would not try it if I were you. Numbers do not lie.
That doesn't make sense. He went 16x to 3x which is bad, but not worse than 10x to 1xP.
