I went to lunch and took my dog out to the park and you all are still talking about Britney and club sales when RIAA doesn't certify club sales. otherwise she'd have 12x platinum, 2x platinum and 5x platinum upgrade to 3 of her albums.
2 of those upgrades certs something that most of your faves haven't achieved at their peak.
But why?
Your faves minus a few are not getting #1 hits and albums in 2 decades much less 3 decades.
Accept it and move forward.
