Celine. I don't think anyone could match her WW success at her peak except Madonna.
She's also more WW with her sales, Mariah is more US/JAP focused sales.

Madonna never really had a MASSIVE beyond-words peak with a single era. True Blue is her biggest WW era and it sold 22 million- huge but not unreal like Celine who had 2 consecutive 30 million albums + a 20 million GH immediately after.
It was always consistency with Madge. Celine never really made it out of the 90s in terms of continued success.

That is all true. The most impressive aspect of Madonna's sales is consistency, not peaks.
She's had moderate success for peaking after so long, her last album sold over 2.5 million.
Celine, no contest. Mariah is bigger than Celine in only 3 countries - US, Japan and Brazil, and the gap between them on those countries isn't that huge.
MHWGO is bigger and more iconic than any Mariah song.
Falling Into You AND Let's Talk About Love are both bigger than any Mariah album.
Celine in late 1997-1998 during the Titanic era was bigger than Mariah ever was.
You realize there are 10 years in a decade and not 2 right? Mariah was more successful in the '90s than Celine.
