I have seen some already but we are patiently waiting for official validation so we can unveil the merciless lashings and of course the fumes will follow. As of now the Army remains pretending they don't care.

The fact that you have to resort to reduce it to females to make a point.
2000 NSYNC (NSA) 2.4 million
2000 Eminem (TMM) 1.7 million
2000 BSB (B&B) 1.5 million
Plus:
1999 BSB (Millennium) 1.1 million
2001 NSYNC (Celebrity) 1.8 million
Of course it's a matter of acts having massive appeal. NSYNC, BSB and Eminem domination supports that. But, are you REALLY going to deny that it was easier to sell albums in 2000 than now? It's common sense. Opening with a +milli three times in a row now >>>> selling 1.3 million more than a decade ago.
But slay with those 'lashings' I guess.
