Considering their respective sales climate, 21 sold much better.

It has much bigger hits.

It is much more global.

It has much more critical recognition.

It also influences the mainstream music landscape.

[Beyy]

Without You & Hero >> Rolling In The Deep

in my opinion

Tissue Box is the literal worst. G0D @ her whitest.

"Hero" wasn't nearly as big as "Someone Like You" or "Rolling in the Deep" on a worldwide scale. I don't even think it was bigger in the US.

21 sold better in comparison to each era's respective sales climate, and Rolling In the Deep, Someone Like You, and Set Fire to the Rain are more recognizable than any of those songs from Mariah's album.

sigh the delusion

music box did not sell 32 million just stop a bomt selling 30 million/the fame selling 20 million tea. mariah's own stans and mediatraffic estimate 27-28 million for it at most. if you're going by inflated label figures then 21 is at 30 million as "confirmed" by adele's label. but lets go with actual numbers instead of lies shall we?

anyway why are you comparing albums that are like 20 years apart, 21 would have doubled music box's sales back in 1993 or whatever and you know it. or are you forgetting the massive decline in album sales? 21 was the best selling album two years in a row. 26 million in 2011 > 28 million in 1993. 21 is the only right answer. keep believing fake numbers.

[MonsterPaw]

Music Box.

20 years later and I still hear Without You on our national radio. And Hero is a classic But of course everyone is gonna say 21 And stop saying that albums nowadays would have doubled the numbers. No they wouldn't. Sure albums have declined but 21 shows that people would still buy albums like they used to. Many people just don't buy music or don't listen to pop music in general. Many people just don't take the pop music industry serious anymore tbh.

21 by far. Considering the sales climate, 21 is probably the biggest female era of all time.

[Buyonce1814]

The fact that I can remember the Music Box era more vividly than the 21 era and I was like 4 when MB was released

Here we have the only person on ATRL who witnessed the slayage that was Music Box and he still lies, why do ya'll make these polls?

Without You is still everywhere while all of Adele's singles are thankfully forgotten. Hero remains a staple too.

Dreamlover = Pop perfection.
AYNAF = The 10 min. dance remix that is not on the album >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
DYTOM = Not on the album

If the best and biggest artist of all time covers your song

[Starstruck.]

I really can't answer, 21 was more recent so I'm obviously going to feel like it was much bigger.

Maybe Music Box was bigger, who knows.

why are some teenagers judging the Music Box era when all their knowledge comes from wikipedia?

'21' is the biggest female era ever, so why is it even being compared to another female album.

21 is bigger than MB, but Shania has the biggest female album of all time.

RITD and SLY aren't forgotten!

Music Box is more global, more impact and more memorable
