Pink has ruled the last decade in Australia so she's #1 there.
If we are talking current (as in how Kats see it), Katy is def really successful, but i'd say that Adele is the undiputable queen.
21 is 12x platinum, has 29 weeks on top so far and probably counting.
The singles has been really successful, but i dont have the numbers.
The live DVD is huge (oh how i wish there was a mediatraffic for music DVDs :toosad: )
Regarding touring; Adele hasn't even been there, but i've read reports from ppl in the biz there that the demand is at Pink scale at least.
Finally, if we are talking ALL TIME ruler/rulers of Australia, it is ABBA w/o a doubt;
Best of ABBA 22x plat
Arrival 13x plat
Gold 11x plat
ABBA 10x plat
And when they toured australia it was like when the beatles first came to the US.
There, a little history lesson
and no she isn't
