Even when using KWORB is chart comparing different time periods, BOMT still trumps ''The Fame''. It's spent all these weeks on the US chart yet it's sales are still dismal.
Move along.
Lol no Kworb AGREES The Fame > BOMT.
His own adjusted chart. Weird how you know all this despite joining 3 months ago though!

Overall Soundscan sales 1999: 754.8m
The Fame soundscan sales: 4.6m
Overall Soundscan sales 2008: 428.4m

Why are you using 2008 Soundscan sales when The Fame sold 90%+ of its sales in 2009-2010 though?
+ that doesn't really determine it. For example, even though the market in 2015 is only about 3x lower than 2000 the top-selling album in 2000 sold 9.8M copies while the top seller in 2015 has sold <2.5M.
That's why adjusting based on chart runs is more appropriate. An album charting #5 in 2000 and an album charting #5 in 2015 is still the 5th biggest album of the week.
Taylor Swift's debut country album was more successful than 1989 and Red according to that list despite it selling less and having no Top 10 hits, so...
The debut has charted for like 275 weeks and 1989 50.

31. Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
Wtf is this mess? The latter has spent nearly 800 weeks on the Billboard 200, more than any other album on the entire list, and it's not even in the Top 30 despite its insane chart run and 15x platinum certification. iHype, can you explain this?
TF(M) it's two albums added into one against BOMT is sole release.
Thanks for further proving my point, and digging that hole.
Sweetie I joined 3 months ago but doesn't mean I haven't lurked before the registration was open.
Stop drifting away from the topic at hand.
The fact you really can't put these simple numbers together.
TF+M did 40M; BOMT did 25M. That's 40% more.
To imply that TF would be lower than BOMT would mean that Monster sold 40%+ of The Fame Monster's total. It did not. So even TAKING AWAY Monsters sales The Fame would still be higher adjusted than BOMT according to Kworb.
Gaga had the bigger peak according to Billboard and now Kworb thanks to you pointing out.
