The rivalry was mainly due to both artists being on the Mickey Mouse Club together, being nearly the same age, and then debuting their pop careers around the same time. There was never any competition when it came to sales--Britney outsold Christina by a massive margin, plus released more albums in her first few years. Looking at the chartmasters numbers, just Britney's first two albums (BOMT + OIDIA) total more sales than Christina's entire solo career to date (and equal her total career numbers with features included). However Christina is still ahead of Kay Perry's career total so I'm not sure what you mean by that comment.
It's hard to sell albums when you're crafting amazing albums like Stripped and Back to Basics and not releasing an album a year by just singing whatever is put on front of you by Max Martin or Dr Luke . . .
The site does make money out of constant advertisements being thrown in peoples faces and it has been 5 years since she had an update . . . you also charge for the spotify tool . . .
Lmao those albums streams proved that they are not seen artistic by gp except by xtina fans and never got much acclaim. Stop making excuses. Brtney released albums bcoz she had demand for them.
Xtina didn't and outside usa , she was never a match for britney. Britney's success and celebrity was top. If xtina had released so much, she would've became irrelevant by 2004! Easy to bring artistic integrity to justify flopping! Those albums tragic streams show otherwise anyways!
Can't wait for Eminemfan posting in the Prince thread "Horrible stats for someone to be known as rival of MJ back then".
He already did that with Janet, "Horrible stats for someone to be known as rival of Whitney" or something. Trolls gonna troll...
Just because someone point out the numbers doesn't make them a troll. But i understand it is tough concept for blind cult deluded worhippers to understand.
Na i won't do in Prince's post , because he was actual a true artist, even though his music isn't my taste, who went against label. Other 2 were mainstream as it gets. But to hide their flops, their fans act like they were some Kate Bush non mainstream artistic side lmao. When their music was as commercial like any other cringeworthy pop star.
Oh another reply I missed, isn't it possible to show more "Recent Comments" with Wordpress ? Subscribing to every thread is rather annoying...
Anyway, I assume Eminemfan is banned at this point but here he was pretending that Prince wasn't in the same genre as Janet and Christina (pop/r&b) 🙄
Back to basics sales are far from disappointing, it's a double disc with a not commercial sound selling over 6.6M units, it's actually pretty good.
also some stats are deflated. Your Body sold 1.350.000 digital copies not 900.000.
also, is it possible to update it? it's been years and she released 1 album and a half since then.
I've been tweeting to him and posted comments here, but still got zero response. I hope he will update it as soon as La Luz EP is released.
Christina Aguilera has sold 53 million pure albums and 90 million albums in total but it's not me saying that, it's Billboard and Sony Music
Actually they reported 43 million.
That 90 million must be album+singles.
It has been 5 years since her figure is last updated here and she already released two more studio albums. Could you at least put Liberation and Aguilera here on her CSPC table? We'll appreciate it a lot. It would be even better if you could update her sales, especially for Liberation, and share the break down of the sales of Mi Reflejo and Keeps Gettin' Better A Decade of Hits.
I don't know why anyone would be dragging Christina's career numbers when she's still one of the most successful female artists of all-time, but they need an update regardless.
Since these numbers were posted in 2017, Xtina has achieved these new stats in the United States alone, from the RIAA's website:
+3 million units for Christina Aguilera (singles only)
+6 million units for Stripped (album and singles)
+4 million units for Back to Basics (album and singles)
+500K Gold certification for Keeps Gettin' Better, Bionic, and Lotus albums
+1x Platinum certification for "Lady Marmalade"
+10x Diamond certification for "Moves Like Jagger"
+4x Platinum certification for "Feel this Moment"
+6x Platinum certification for "Say Something"
+1x Latin Platinum (120K units) for "Pa Mis Muchachas" and "Santo"
There, did some of the work for you. Christina will surely be getting a big boost with the next update!
Hi Xtina Fan!
I'm afraid these certs are irrelevant. They certify both sales that were already accounted for and streams which are already automatically updated every day. It's not like she sold millions and millions of records since the article, far, very far from that.
billboard and Sony music have already updated 77 million albums, 40 million of which are pure, I don't understand this tantrum in not updating your sales on this site
I'm not sure you understand what tantrum means, as quite clearly no one is having one here!
The problem here is not the site, it is your lack of understanding of the site and the figures that are presented. Maybe spend some time reading up on how the figures are arrived at and hopefully then, you'll understand how her sales are relatively up to date.
Her pure figures haven't been updated since 2017... don't say that this is what you call being ''relativaly up to date'' please Sir it's about to be 2023 round here, hello wakey wakey
How much exactly do you think she's sold in the past 6 years? Her releases since the last update have hardly been huge sellers and her back catalogue doesn't exactly fly off the shelves either.
As she has added relatively little in pure sales since her analysis and her streaming figures are updated on an almost daily basis, her overall total is logically, pretty up to date.
Have her songs where she is the featured artist been updated to the new features formula? I know she has some massive songs as a feature artist (Moves like Jagger comes to mind with 20M digital sales). Because with the new formula she will only receive 50% of those sales, which means her total CSPC will probably drop even after a sales update.
could they at least put Mi Reflejo on Christina Aguilera since they don't count it as a studio album
actually no, the problem here is that most numbers are very dated. the last update was from 2017 but a lot of these numbers are 2013-14 (even older for her early albums).
Examples: multiple sources state Stripped sold 12m pure in the 2000s alone, the 525k of pure sales from Lotus is from early 2013, before the album re-entered billboard, went back and forth on itunes and sold 600k pure in early 2014 alone. in addition to not having pure sales for Liberation, having sold-out vinyls for Stripped (took 24 hours, twice), Lotus and bionic all of which sold out within a few hours-days.
Stripped is listed as 4.6 million in the U.S. in this article when it's at 5 million now. That alone there is almost half a million album units. Back to Basics, Bionic, and Lotus also have outdated numbers. I get you'll say that you make up for these numbers through your daily updated streams count but it's really not farfetched to say that her catalog has grown in the millions worldwide (albums + singles) since these 2017 numbers were posted.
Hi emerson,
If she sold that much, why do you need to make up numbers? This is the real statement of Sony Music: "she has sold more than 43 million records worldwide".
Records, not albums.
Numbers from the article: 33.5 million albums and 9.9 million physical singles, which are 43.4 million records.
Still, feel free to repeat lies a thousand times, but you can't expect educated people to believe it.
