2.0. Y.O is platinum and didn't sell 1M.
so she's overcertified in certain regards just like she's undercertified.
Britney's total album sales in the US are around 40M yet she's only certified for 34M so let's not play that game.
still doesn't take from the fact that Britney is the 8th best selling female artist of the US and Janet isn't even 9...after you get past dixie chicks and linda rondstadt then there is Enya (LIPTON ha fave) in front of her...
But wait a minute.
looks who's right behind her Taylor swift.
Adele 3x platinum 11x platinum 5x platinum
will be 12x platinum with 21 and at least diamond with 25.
Let's count this up.
3+12+10 wow she will be nipping at Janet's heels too.
and that's if we pretend 25 is only going 10x platinum.
the way taylor and adele will surpass Janet pushing her from 12th place to 14th place by next year.
Whew.
i see why slobro is bothered with Britney now
