You are not taking into account greater availability of music, more streamlined promotion in this day age, different levels of competition. There's a reason nowadays every chart is now a mirror image of the one next door. Adele was the only big promoted mainstream AC singer at the time. Would she have sold the same competing with Celine, Dido, Mariah, and Whitney at the same time during the the teen pop explosion?
