Comparing sales from an album released in 2013, in December nonetheless (peak of album sales) to an album released in 2015 when sales in 2015 are much lower. The desperation

Why not compare chart positions, which is actually a fair comparison?

deflection continues from you....

There's no desperation on our end.

Your question is silly because an artist can sell 75k and January and hit #1 but not in November.

Sales show interest so we can go first week or overall WW sales...

I don't think there will be a different ranking luv

Especially when you were bringing up 2013 out of nowhere anyway.

Just wave the white flag...it's a shame because i stan for Janet so much so it's not like I dislike one and like two. I like them all.

I just want you to post the numbers US/WW and we can then discuss things further

Why does slobro's criteria for album sales change with each argument? "It's only fair to compare chart positions instead of actual sales now!!!111!!" Does that mean that Fifth Harmony's album was more successful than Sam Smith's since the former reached #1 while the latter did not?

Because whatever is convenient for his argument is the new criteria.

It just doesn't make sense to do that

Maybe we should start doing that.

But it didn't



Of course overall sales matter most, but opening weeks are indicative of starpower and it's not like BJ sold much more after the opening week unlike Sam's album



It's just interesting that Janet's album is outcharting certain global star's last effort in most countries

his arguments are just as faulty as that character that came in after a beyonce fan put a little bug in his ear and then he tried me and without even baiting him got him to admit his stats weren't 100% and then he posed an argument that would never be supported by the credible tracking of RIAA and Billboard.

I think sometimes people come in expecting to "drag a bit" and then get an expected hit and can't handle.

It is a bit strange though how Problem debuted with like 435K and almost knocked Happy out of the #1 slot, yet the public just said NO when the album finally came out.

My Everything opening: 168K
The New Rhinoplastly opening: 55K

My Everything total WW sales: 1.65M
The Construed Assplant WW sales: 620K

Honeymoon Tour: $45M in gross and counting
Billboard Escape Tour: N/A

It's definitely opening with less but not because of Iggy or quality.

TNC only sold like 100k outside the US?

Ariana obviously has the most potential to become one of the biggest stars on the planet. She needs a lot of direction and a personality though. So maybe not.

Omg remember when Khia released this after ARTPOP?

Someone should've told Gaga about it when she did that video pole-dancing to My Neck My Back, it would've made her day.

UltraTylenol opened with more than In the Lonely Hour. I'm sure Sam Smith is weeping because Lana overshadowed his career.

Both albums were released at the same time in the exact same sales climate so it's fair to compare their sales

so as i said pages ago Janet stans are trying it.
Janet's sales are a triumph and still lower than BJ sales which were for her first flop era.
Why are we arguing and then the 1st week sales, WW sales of the album and WW sales in totality don't exactly help the argument more.

Accepting defeat is the best thing you can do and it takes courage.
I'm a Janet stan so let's make this nice

I'm not sure why there was a vs to begin with.

Janet and Britney both admire one another and Britney always gave credit to Janet as being an influence so it's not like Britney pulled a Nicki and took her and many other styles and then dissed the people she took from because she has no identity of her own.

Janet and Britney stans should be on the same page and unite. sadly Janet stans have resistance.

Lol, The New classic (, the dumbest and most innacurate moron'd album title in all of history) is not something any properly-gened human beings are willing to purchase. AKA all of non-America.
