Which feat is worth more: having a #1 single or a 5x Platinum single [in the US]?
I feel like the record for having more #1 singles is given more prominence than having more 5x platinum singles. For example, many reference Mariah has having the most #1s for a solo artist, but not as many reference Katy for having the most 5x platinum singles. No shade, they are both my favorite artists and were merely used to provide a scenario.
So, which is worth more?
