12. Lady Gaga — The Fame
41. Britney Spears — …Baby One More Time
The Fame also had bigger singles — she became the only artist in history to have 2 singles sell 7 million copies not to mention the other 2 singles & album tracks have sold nearly 6-7M themselves.
The Fame had more acclaim, more Award wins, and a bigger tour on top of all of this.
Not to mention it was a more global album so it's the same case WW too. Why is this? Why was ATRL off?
This has been known for a long time. Selling 17m in the digital age > selling 25 at the peak of album sales.
Not to mention The Fame was much more global, had a bigger tour, bigger single sales, more iconic ,etc.
All you need to do is to check end year positions and chart runs and you will see the difference.

These all-time rankings are based on actual performance on the weekly Billboard Hot 100 (from its launch on Aug. 4, 1958 through Oct. 10, 2015) and Billboard 200 (from Aug. 17, 1963 — when we combined our two leading pop album album charts for stereo and mono releases into one all-encompassing weekly chart — through Oct. 10, 2015). Titles are ranked based on an inverse point system, with weeks at No. 1 earning the greatest value and weeks at lower rungs earning the least. Due to changes in chart methodology over the years, eras are weighted differently to account for chart turnover rates over various periods. Artists are ranked based on the combined point totals, as outlined above, of all their Hot 100 or Billboard 200 chart entries.
