At the end of the day, it doesn't even matter. Atrl takes albums sales so seriously because:

1. "People appreciate the full work and the artist behind it / shows the size of a fanbase" but the whole world dropped Gaga after the hype died, even with those 16m sales while Katy keeps selling constantly
2. "It brings more money than quick lil singles" but Katy just earned more than Gaga at her peak

So what if they dropped gaga they still bought the album?
At the end of the day in 50 years all our faves will have been dropped by the GP but the ones with the most success will be remembered as phenomenons forever.

She'll probably increase her lead in single sales and streams, but Gaga will may have still sold more albums overall by 2020

There's no need to inflate Gaga's album sales.

The Fame 16M
Born This Way 6M
ARTPOP 2M
C2C 2M
26M for her to the most.

Why are you just completely ignoring like 3 of her albums

that would give her 36.5m TEA

Whereas now 29m albums and 91m singles is 38.1m TEA

But if you can get the receipts thread to change then i'll lower it

Gaga's stats are pure sales. Before Artpop streaming was not included in Gaga's sales. When Billboard says so, we can not say No.

Nope, unless katy sells 15M with two albums which is impossible nowadays

Katy: Adjusted album equivalents-32.96m units

Gaga: Album equivelants-41.1m units

Sure, Jan.

Yikes, given how big Gaga's peak was the gap is pretty small

I'm using pure album sales.

If you use pure single sales
Katy wins
120.4m vs 91m

Pure streams
katy wins
9.6B vs 4.5B

But by incorporating everything, it's fairer

at Katy needing TEA to even be close to Gaga's pure album sales.

But no, she won't. Katy is currently on her way out as proven by the lackluster sales of PRISM, the last two singles from the album flopping, the media ignoring her, people ignoring her, award shows ignoring her. As of right now, all she has is touring (which she still lacks when it comes to Gaga). Gaga on the other hand has proven her longevity after winning her sixth Grammy seven years into her career and this year being one of her best since, like, 2010. Unless Katy goes through a massive image overhaul like Gaga is doing right now, which she won't since her label won't let her, she won't last much longer. She's a singles artist without impact and those kinds of artists are hot for a little while but are ultimately forgotten.

Plus album sales are falling every year so Katy will need three or four more albums to reach where Gaga is now.

You sound bothered, as usual.

Oop.

Yes. Of course. There's just over an 8M gap between TEA/SEA album sales which Katy should bridge by the end of the decade.

Is it so hard to understand that according to BB Gaga has sold 125M singles with NO streaming included untill november 2013? And I really dont believe that katy has sold PURE 120M singles.

Streaming =/= sales. So I doubt katheryng will outsell Gaga anytime soon (maybe not int he next 15 years)

oh ok then. But it doesnt make sense to compare album sales by including streaming. It should be pure sales but I guess the OP wanted to decrease Gaga's lead

BB doesn't track Ww sales though
If you have a problem with the receipts speak to the receipt thread owner
