If you're a teenage girl, Selena Gomez is unavoidable. Teenage girls are a powerful force, look at Taylor. Plus, the radio is embracing it for some reason.

Originally posted by ToxicKat She's the second most successful female artist when it comes to overall (single sales, album sales, streaming, radio) this YEAR. You know how many females release albums per year? She's slaying and it's something to brag about. If you think otherwise then you are a pressed idiot that can't accept the fact that she's getting bigger and bigger. Of course she's not on Adele or Taylor's level but out of hundred of existing and aspiring pop stars that released albums throughout this past decade and underperform in this sales climate, I say she's sitting pretty well up there if you combine everything.

I never denied she was bigger than before, but her success is nothing to brag about. Her video views are nothing compared to Miley's a couple of years ago when she released We Can't Stop, Wrecking Ball and 23. Her airplay has gotten considerably bigger since radio stations are supporting her more during this promotional campaign, same as streaming as a whole since that department is getting bigger every day. I'll give you that, but her single sales and album sales are still mediocre at best. Those who stated she's sold 2 million singles with GFY need to remember those sales contain streaming points as well.

Originally posted by lauren198 GFY did sold 2 million+ worldwide in pure sales as stated by some users in this thread US: 1,320,000 UK: 280,000 Australia: 154,000 Canada: 150,000 Germany: 95,000 Sweden: 80,000 Denmark: 60,000 Italy: 25,000 Spain: 20,000 France: 18,000 NZ: 7,500 Brazil: 4,000 = 2,214,500 On streaming Revival is past 400 million total on spotify and 420M+ on vevo too If y'all want to compare GFY in this sales climate with Come & Get It sales, then compare WDYM/Sorry/LY sales with Boyfriend/ALAYLM/Beauty & A Beat sales, when JB is clearly bigger right now.

Those stats are worldwide. I though people were talking about the US. As I said, I have not denied she's bigger now than she used to be, but her numbers are nothing impressive. She will keep getting bigger with every single she releases off of Revival, though.
