Except Adele, since The Fame was released, no one has been able to sell 16+ millions WW. Do you think someone(except 25,28 etc.) will outsell it in the currant state of album sales ? I mean with one album, not with their discography. Maybe Taylor Swift, E Sheeran ? A random new worldwide sensation ?
The Fame and The Fame Monster are different albums. They had different eras, different tours, even Gaga herself admited it's a totally different body of work.
I was about to say Adele but I read the OP. I think so. The Fame is an iconic album and I don't see Taylor selling as big as she did with 1989 (pure sales that is since back in 2008, streaming was a court jester.)

Why do y'all keep counting them together?
I guess because of this

I did read it and I see no reason why we have to exclude Adele from the equation to suit the OP's criteria
Because it's a given Adele will sell more. We already know her impact and its strong but she's not the only pop girl with strong sales out there. (She's just the strongest).
