LMAO, forgettable? Britney's performances back in her heyday defined Pop music at the time. How old are you?

Try to read first...
coddiecollins was the one who brought up Britney first 
BTW, can't you get out of here? The only thing you're doing is bringing up Britney and trolling while she's not even in the list.

1. Madonna: 64 million albums sold
2. Mariah Carey: 63.4 million albums sold
3. Whitney Houston: 55 million albums sold
4. Celine Dion: 50 million albums sold
5. Shania Twain: 48 million albums sold
6. Reba McEntire: 41 million albums sold
7. Britney Spears: 34 million albums sold
8. Janet Jackson: 26 million albums sold
9. Christina Aguilera: 25 million albums sold

Get your facts right, then stan, please. |
Control: 5 million
Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814: 6 million
janet.: 6 million
The Velvet Rope: 3 million
All For You: 3 million
Damito J: 1 million
= 25 million.
And 1 million was 20 Y.O + Discipline. Did I miss anything? Her first 2 albums combined didn't sell 500k. Correct me if I'm mistaken - although I doubt any other statistic is going to bring her total higher than Britney's 34 million.

I think with the right comeback, she could easily pass Janet Jackson in the coming years.

I'm not trolling. You're the one who claimed Britney is no legend and doesn't belong with them, and I corrected your ass. Trolling? I think NOT. If you hadn't posted that nonesense I wouldn't have called you out, but too bad.

When did Christina sell 25 million albums in the United States? That list is US album sales according to the RIAA which put Christina at 12 million albums.

I am so tired of pulling Janet receipts.
FROM A JANET STAN ON JANET-XONE:
Quote:
Janet Jackson
Soundscan - 61,815
Sony BMG - 82,000
= 143,815
Dream Street
Soundscan - 21,320
Sony BMG -44,000
= 65,320
http://www.ukmix.org/forums/viewtopi...120452#1120452 for Soundscan
Control
Certification - 5x platinum
Soundscan - 496,000
BMG Club House - 883,000
= 6,379,000
Control is obviously 6x platinum. Columbia House was comparable in size to Sony BMG Music Club, so it has probably sold the same amount there as in BMG. So Control could be 7 or 8x platinum.
Rhythm Nation 1814
Certification - 6x platinum
Soundscan - 1,377,000
Sony BMG - 1,100,000
= ~8,477,000
Some of that total is in the Soundscan era. No one knows how much this album truly sold other than A&M. But the figure ties in nicely with the NY Daily News estimate of 8.5 million
http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2009/1....m_record s.html
There's 23,000 RN's sitting out there, so we can safely assume NY Daily News is true.
= 8,500,000
janet.
Certification - 6x platinum
Soundscan - 7,010,000
Sony BMG - 860,000
= 7,870,000
janet. should obviously be 8x platinum, probably more.
Design of A Decade
Certification - 2x platinum
Soundscan - 2,422,000
Sony BMG - 1,480,000
= 3,902,000
Should be 4x platinum. This is Janet's best seller in her back catalog, so it's obviously 4x platinum
Velvet Rope
Certification - 3x platinum
Soundscan - 3,229,000
Sony BMG - 420,000
= 3,649,000
All For You
Certification - 2x platinum
Soundscan - 3,107,000
Sony BMG - 100,000
= 3,207,000
Damita Jo
Certification - Platinum
Soundscan - 1,002,000
= 1,002,000
20 Y.O.
Certification - Platinum
Soundscan - 655,000
= 655,000
Discipline
Soundscan - 446,000
= 446,000
Number Ones
Soundscan - 172,000 (double disc over 100 minutes, so it counts twice); 344,000
Based on confirmed sales:
Rhythm Nation 1814 - 8,500,000
janet. - 7,870,000
Control - 6,379,000
Design of a Decade - 3,902,000
Velvet Rope - 3,649,000
All For You - 3,207,000
Damita Jo - 1,002,000
20 Y.O. - 655,000
Discipline - 446,000
Number Ones - 172,000/344,000
Janet Jackson - 143,815
Dream Street - 65,320
Total U.S. album sales = 36,163,135
Total U.S. album sales = 36,163,135
Total U.S. album sales = 36,163,135
Her RIAA certifications are obviously at least 36 million. She sold 4,743,000 albums through Sony BMG Music Club. As stated previously, Columbia House was comparable in size so you could tack on another 3 or 4 million albums. If you factor in other club house sales, reshipments, etc, estimated RIAA tally to be about 40-42 million albums shipped in the United States

Britney's albums are also undercertified by the RIAA so her figures are around the same as Janet's.

All of the links you posted are broken for some reason.
RIAA's last take on Janet's sales is 25 million. They even put her behind Britney.  Why should I believe a Janet stan on X ZONE and disbelieve RIAA?

Because some of her albums are uncertified. These are the most obvious examples:
janet.
Certification - 6x platinum
Soundscan - 7,010,000
All For You
Certification - 2x platinum
Soundscan - 3,107,000
That's not even including Music Club Sales.
By the way, according to the RIAA In The Zone has sold 2 million and Blackout 0 copies. Do you believe that too?
