Which era was bigger/more successful? 21 by Adele or Music Box by Mariah Carey?

21 hits - Rolling in the deep, Someone Like you and Set fire to the rain

Music Box hits - Hero, Dreamlover and Without you

What is Music Box?

Like which songs were on it?

[Cap10Planet]

21.

[MusicLoverDude]

I wasn't born when Music Box slayed, so I'd rather not judge

[Slayonce]

21

[Bey_Rihstan]

This is kinda hard because MB sold more, but Adele had the bigger hits

[Kyle-x]

Voting for Music Box out of pure bias.

Music Box sold 7 million more + the timeless classics Hero and Without You >>

The best selling female R&B studio album of all time

I guess 21 because she sold almost as much in a rougher time period + had multiple recognizable hits. I can't believe music box is Mariah's best selling album

21.

[OffTheWall]

Music Box sold more and it's a much better album

Anytime You Need a Friend & Never Forget You have R&B influences

Music Box didn't sell more. It sold 27 million MAX. Also don't forget that "sold" means shipped when discussing worldwide sales, especially those historically. And it sure as hell ain't R&B, lol.

[ABEL-o-matic]

Hero >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Adele's career to be honest. (Even though I'm a Daydreamer too )

But 21 was the more prominent era.

[Bounce]

Music Box clearly.

[liberalmusiclover]

21 sold better in comparison to each era's respective sales climate, and Rolling In the Deep, Someone Like You, and Set Fire to the Rain are more recognizable than any of those songs from Mariah's album.

Sorry sweetie those sales have been confirmed! Music Box was bigger than the Bodyguard in almost every Asian country!
