So why Ariana is one of only four women to sell 1M copies with their albums in 2016 (Ariana, Rihanna, Beyonce & Sia)?

Dangerous Woman 18,000 (1,003,000 total).

Queen

but i thought she wasnt a main pop gurl

She sold 300k copies of DW in the US it's not impressive for a major pop girl
Little Mix for example already passed 300k in a less bigger market. She's an okay album seller nothing to be proud of tho

.

Literally no one said this
Stop these threads

OT: Talent and public appeal

My fave is global.

"MTrain Grande"

OT: She has the hits and the talent

Her 3 albums can't outsell just one from Taylor, Beyonce etc. In terms of balance she's the same as Rih with cute album sales and big singles.

She has only had one proper international tour which grossed $41m give her time; im sure the DW will do well

Sure Ariana isn't the best at selling but she makes up for it with streaming.

-First women to 2 Billion stream for an album
-Most streamed woman on YouTube

She debuted as streaming was becoming popular. I think it is only fair if we should compare artist to their retrospective departments and the times that debuted in

I mean by your logic then surely Rih, Bey et al are nothing if we compare them to Celine, Whitney or Mariah

1. Dangerous Woman tour will gross double Honeymoon Tour.
2. Ariana can't gross 1 million pure albums domestically because she's a streaming artist that debuted when streaming started to blow up and you can't expect a star with young fanbase to sell a lot of albums. Ariana has the streams, more than 95% else of the industry overall.
3. "Despite not reaching #1 on Hot 100, Problem outsold all of 18 #1 singles by ..." and to think Problem was blocked that way is kinda sad but Problem is still bigger than a lot of #1 hits.

It's true. She can't.

queen of 1 mil ww sales in 2016 when sales are dead

looks like a legend in the making to me

Since when is selling 1M copies WORLDWIDE impressive?

Seeing people still undermining Ariana and her status in the game, 3 years after she started slaying, is so funny to me

1 million album sales in a dead sales climate, a global hit, a growing brand, an upcoming global tour and one of the very few eras to even make it to the 4th single recently. Stop trying it
