1989 is at 7.7M, soon to be 7.8M. That'd bump her to 24.1M!

The fact that I have
Mariah
Britney
Adele
all in my sig.
I always win supporting the greats.
I wish Britney's 1999 album counted but it's not as if #2 is even remotely close

It's weird that the trinities are so odd
90s
Mariah
Celine
Whitney
makes sense
00s
Britney
Celine
Norah
the extreme polarity
10s
Adele
Taylor
Gaga
interesting blend
It show how diverse things have gotten while the 90s is still the premiere decade of music but my things have changed

Adele...we'll see but I'm sure her next era will secure her as the biggest album seller of the decade

Other than BEYONCÉ sales being slightly inflated (like 200k anyway) the figures are mostly accurate and really objective

Sales from the 2000s sis. It was released in 1999 and sold around 3 million then and 10 million in the 2000s (hence BOMT is only at 7 million).

Ayumi Hamasaki:
Duty - 2,904,000
I Am... - 2,308,000
Rainbow - 1,857,000
My Story - 1,132,000
(Miss)understood - 877,000
Secret - 666,000 (I think I know her secret)
Guilty - 568,000
Next Level - 380,000
Memorial Address - 1,062,000
A Best - 4,294,000
A Ballads - 924,000
A Best 2: Black - 703,000
A Best 2: White - 722,000
A Complete: All Singles - 854,000
Super Eurobeat Presents Ayu-ro Mix - 650,000
Ayu-mi-x II Version JPN - 163,000
Ayu-mi-x II Version US+EU - 230,000
Etc.
These alone make up 20,294,000 just from Oricon. I used this list HERE. Japanese artists are head to measure because digital album sales are not really reported, export sales aren't counted (she could have multiple millions from that) and their singles are realistically albums according to Billboard's standards.
Overall, Ayumi Hamasaki sold 23,357,000 albums according to Oricon in the 2000s. Depending on how strong her Taiwanese sales are, she might actually be over Christina (though chances are slim).

Born This Way hasn't passed 6.5M  Billboard tracks U.S. numbers. They use label numbers (i.e. shipments) when reporting global sales.

Sis The soundtrack is mostly orchestra. Celine only sings one of the 15 songs (granted it was the only single and the signature song).
Billboard's criteria is that you must have credits on at least 70% of the songs on the album.
