It has sold 1,046,710 copies in Japan in its first week.

And the girls still try to act like Britney is not an icon/has no impact is sad everyone tries to downplay her success because she does not care about her career that much.

What about Alicia Keys' albums 'The Diary Of Alicia Keys' and 'As I Am'? She should be on the list with these two albums based on her US sales alone.

Not quite sure what ''The Diary Of Alicia Keys'' is WW numbers were since the chart doesn't stretch past 2004, but I added As I Am.

Wasn't expecting Britney's GH there.
Taylor, Adele and Nicki will knock it out of the top 20

So?

Slay Xtina with your actually Grammy-winning album (ANOM), the most successful female tour of 2007 (The Back to Basics Tour), it's #1 DVD and critical acclaim.

Work of art released on August 2006, having the biggest female first-week sales of the year from Jan-Aug.

Legend X slayin' with a non commercial-sounding album.

I noticed these things are mentioned often but what other females were touring in 2007 and what female albums were released in 2006. I know Beyonce released in September but I always see these stats thrown around.

Anyway, I didn't know it sold that much WW...slay a bit.
If only she kept that classic image. I could be here for a BTB 2.0

Bey's should factor in the FULL first seven days. It was well over a million. Haters trying to low-ball as usual.
