I can name at least 50 female popstars who were active during that peak that don't even have ONE diamond-certified album.

Nice try, though.


Oh, and Adele says hi.

[Aleks]

Because she's the only legend of her generation

[Killua.]

Because back then she was actually talented

Anyway, She's a legend.

No, not everyone. 5 or 6 at most. That's still far more than today.

And this graph stops in 2012. It gets worse.

2012 : 316 million
2013 : 289.4 million
2014 : 257 million

And album sales were down 4% during the first half of 2015 so we'll probably be falling below 250 million for the year.

It's not an excuse. It's a fact that it's easier and more likely to sell 10 million albums when over 700 million are being sold on the market than when 250-300 million are being sold on the market.

Adele is an exception and she released in 2011, the market has declined even further since then.

[iHype.]

Because she was very popular once ago, back in 2000.

& the OP says why is she the only one to have MULTIPLE. Adele doesn't have multiple Diamond albums so why is the Army using her as an excuse "even though sales are down 70% ADELE THO!!!"?..

[AMENHOOKER]

The illuminati.

JK,
She was a phenomenon who took the world by storm!

They did with BMG club sales.

Britney had the biggest peak I have ever seen. She was a phenomenon.

How much has Taylor's most successful album sold? I honestly have no idea.

Not through Nielsen Soundscan but they have using club sales. And before we try to bring up negative option billing, I will remind you that Columbia House sold CDs for $19.99 on average.

Baby One More Time was only the 4th best-selling album released in 1999

Only one from that list is female.
Plus the OP clearly mentions the only female of her generation.

[Soda Pop Queen]

Because the environment was still right for a pop culture jaggernaut to go diamond at the time. Twice, even.

If those particular albums were released today or in the last 10 years even, how many copies do you think they would've sold?

6.8M last time I checked. It will hit 7M in the U.S. and it was released in 2008.
