Yes, this comparison makes more sense seeing as my point was proven, as both of these eras were coming off eras released two years prior.

Actually Rudeboyy is right. Mariah has sold around 160 Million albums and about 230 million records, which is still impressive.

I'm aware, many official sources however have her at 200 million of albums even though her actual figures are somewhat less than that.

Sony Music Australia had her at 120 million of albums in '05 (before the release of TEOM) and her total album sales to date should stand at around 150 million more or less by my estimate.

I just prefer using that figure, much like the Rih stan claims she has sold 230 million of records when she has sold 1/4th of that in the US by November '12.

That song is a mess. Shattered is amazing tho. Should be the 2nd single.

It's just for the giggles, I find his comparison hilarious.

I didn't like Call Me Crazy (the song) at first because I thought it was too noisy, but all the noises click together after a couple listens & create this BOOMing effect.

The only song I'm not feeling is B.A.N.S., but all the other ones are great. I see success for CCM, maybe SOtC, nEXt maybe as well. It depends on how well her label supports & promotes her.

Def Jam (should've been re-branded as Deaf Jam given their biggest artist atm) went overboard with that 50 million albums figure, even TD selling 11 million looked more legit.

ngl, I'd much prefer them having success than the current major pop stars

Rihanna sold 30m album at the most. Acc. to Wiki, she's sold 120m singles. That puts her at 150m records sold. Not bad at all. I don't get the point of the crazy inflation of her selling 180m or 200m records.

Mariah Carey has sold 200 million of ALBUMS and quite a lot more records if we were to count her single sales, ringtones, DVDs etc.

And furthermore, Rihanna has sold 66.6 million of records in the US alone according to Billboard's last update in November '12. Mind telling me how she managed to sell 3x more outside the US?

Go ahead.

Think of it this way...

Would Def Jam lie about their artist sales?

I wonder if they are as eager to inflate their profit as they inflate their artist's sales when the fiscal year ends.

Wiki knows the tea more than Rihanna's own label!

The interesting thing is if she continues to get multi-platinum albums, she will eventually get to the 50m album mark her label brags right now. And add that with future single sales, she can see the 200m records mark very soon and get in Celine/Mariah/Whitney/Madonna territory.
