Barbra Streisand has gone platinum for the 31st time with her hot-selling Partners album. Billboard announced the milestone this morning, while talking more about Barbra Streisand‘s achievements.
“With her latest album Partners reaching Platinum certification, Streisand extends her record for the most Platinum album certifications for a woman in RIAA history. Incredibly, Partners is her 31st album to ship more than 1,000,000 copies in the U.S. The closest competition? Reba McEntire, who has 19 Platinum-certified albums.”
The article then goes on to say about Mariah:
Quote:
It’s quite interesting that fallen pop star Mariah Carey has her PR team constantly announce that she is the “biggest selling female artist ever,” while stats certainly don’t back it up. The RIAA lists Mariah at number three with 63.5 albums shipped. Mariah has been accused of overstating her record sales with chart manipulation tactics by many sources. Unlike Streisand, who still commands a huge audience, Mariah Carey is facing disastrous album sales as tickets for her residency in Las Vegas are moving at turtle-like speeds.
Barbra Streisand, unlike Carey and other aging female divas, gives her audience what they want
The lambs can't call her best selling artist anymore, neither in US or WW.
