That's already 140 million records and we haven't even counted Canada, France, Germany, Australia, South Korea, Japan, Italy, Brazil and other smaller countries.

We've had the 180 million singles sold figure for like 2 years now. Add 30 million to that and that's already 210 million records.

Just accept it. We stan for a legend.

In Germany she may be close to 10.000.000 records sold.
Over 6M records sold in France
Around 7M between Australia and NZ
Over 2M records sold in Sweden.
Over 1.5M records sold in Japan
Over 1M in Spain, Italy and Switzerland each
Half a million AT THE VERY LEAST in Austria, Balgium, Norway, Denmark and Mexico.
A couple million in Brazil.
More than 2 millions in korea

I'm sure Meowster had a lovely time

Wanderlust is such a boring album though. Sophie can do better.

Title era sold more records than any Beyonce era this decade so using your own logic, SHE IS.

She still sold more copies of her album than Cheryl and Jessie did without a label.

Certifications are outdated. Diamonds sold more than 800k but it certified at 300k

1D is the biggest boyband ofc. You just can't name any other boybands as big. Then again, you can't really name any other boy bands to begin with, successful or not.

Rihanna's is wrong. Diamonds alone has sold close to 800K. There's no way all her other singles have sold 1.2m only

You Belong With Me has more views than Single Ladies!

Diamonds was so massive, damn. But I don't see her being significantly above 5M, regardless (which is still big).

ugh this masterpiece


Forget about guns and forget ammunition
Cause I'm killing them all on my own little mission
Now I'm not a saint but I'm not a sinner

What about TEA/SEA? Maybe we should ask to Eternium

[Ecstasy]

Also I don't think it's fair to concentrate only on US or only on Europe when you are discussing the success of an album. Yea, country as a genre is more local generally but that's a handicap she chose for herself when she decided to make country music. Same happens with genres that are local to other areas like Eurodance etc.
