You're comparing 2014 and 2015 singles to a 2016 single? Do you not realize how bad sales have declined? Dangerous Woman has sold 1.8 million WW so far, which is the same as Hands To Myself, a 2016 single, if I'm not wrong.

If Selena was bigger globally than Ariana, then why did Dangerous Woman go #1 in more countries than Revival album went top five in? Why is Dangerous Woman coming to outsell Revival in two to three weeks? Why does Dangerous Woman have 700+ million streams on Spotify when Revival only had 600 million in the same time frame despite its MULTIPLE, GLOBAL SMASHES!1!1

And Side To Side is coming to outpeak Selena's discography, bookmark me. It's already going top 15 next week despite not even being sent for pop/rhythmic radio adds yet. Into You is spending its fifth week in the top 15 and it has 216 million Spotify streams and is still in the top 20 on Global Spotify. So much for one hit per era.

I mean, Problem already did lol. Selena is yet to achieve a top 3 single.

Also, I'm crying at "Selena is taken seriously by the industry/artists unlike Ariana". Is that why Ariana got two Grammy noms after less than two years in the industry while Selena has zero Grammy noms after seven years? Ariana has been praised by Celine Dion. Xtina praised her and did a live duet with her. Patti Labelle did a live duet with her and praised her vocal ability. Britney said Ariana inspires her. Stevie Wonder was wowed by her tribute to him and now he's releasing a collab with her. Aretha Franklin said she wants to do a duet with Ariana. Madonna brought Ariana on stage on her tour. But congrats to Selena for being Taylor's lapdog!

Last time I checked THWWIW, GFY, SOL, and HTM all outsold DW globally. The numbers don't lie. Seethe while Selena remains bigger globally, not just in 2016 and is taken very seriously by producers and other artists. Also she had at least two hits from each of her eras since 2011 whereas Ariana has only managed to have more than one hit in one era nearly 2 years ago and hasn't been able to repeat that success and most likely never will.

Selena is really a nobody. A popular one, sure, but nobody with a brain takes her seriously.
It's not a diss, just a fact - she's useless musically - can't sing, dance, write, produce. Can't whisper on key or even steal songwriting credits properly.
What is there to take seriously?
Even outside of her "music," she's largely seen as either:

1) A clueless idiot - as evidenced by the response to her statements on Black Lives Matter
2) Justin Bieber's thirsty ex - which she herself proved with her childish antics on Instagram.
3) A rehab-prone coke-head - as seen in the response to stories about her lupus.

Let this be the LAST time you EVEN ATTEMPT to put down a Woman of Colour (Ariana Grande-Butera) comparing her to selena gomez.

Music-wise Ariana is taken much more seriously as a musician, and she does deserve it as she puts more effort to be recognized as such not counting her talent as vocalist.
But Selena needs much less effort to succeed with singles at least. And the difference in albums sales will not be that much after all(I'm estimating 200K?). We will probably never know how much Selena could achieve if she invested in improve her performances/videos so Ariana wins

now ariana stans calling the us an easy market, then why is ariana struggling even with discounts?

[golden-girl]

DW is at 537k SPS and still moving over 30k a week.

What did Revival finish at?

Both albums are around the Platinum mark (Revival slightly over it and DW slightly under it). DW should pass Revival in the U.S. in either October or November.

But sales have decreased dramatically since then What's your point

Then why would you bring up Revival's hits when 2/3 of them were released in 2015? What's YOUR point?

Anyways Hands To Myself (a 3rd single which was released as a single in 2016) sold as much, maybe even more than Ariana's lead in the U.S. & WW despite Selena abandoning the song the week after it was sent to radio.

Too far man!!

Sorry I'm posting twice but idk how to quote 2 people at a time ....

I agree with her not being able to really sing .. DEFF can't dance .. write idk .. but you're comments are way too far and extremely hostile. Don't comment on her disease when you don't even know whats really going on.

[Luma]

Did you really have to ask?

[yamiyuuuu]
