What is the point of spamming this image as if you’re gonna wish it into existence simply by typing it. Frankly, there is literally ZERO way Usher has sold 274 million anything in Australia, be it albums, downloads or physical singles. It’s simply nonsense. What do you expect, they’re just gonna update Ushers album sales to 274 million in Australia alone? Obviously they have used some contrived or pointless methodology to reach this ridiculous number, so why do you continue to troll and spam as if random pictures you found online are the gospel on music sales?
Don't waste your breath Chika, I moved his comments to trash. One can be very naive and believe nonsense, but someone creating 4 accounts to agree with himself is doing nothing else than trolling. I seriously doubt this person himself believes Usher sold 274m 'units' in Australia, note how he/she doesn't mention units of what.
I'm sorry if I've been such an inconvenience. I would actually like to ask you to delete my comments, not spam since I may have a real question in another artist's catalog sales, but delete since they have caused such an issue in this post. I wouldn't like to come off as rude and disrespectful or turn this into a negative thing when it is really a celebration of not only Usher's amazingly successful career, but other artists on this site as well. I do commend you for working as hard as you could to put this together so I think it would be best if you just delete them and move on without seeing the bruise or scar I left in this post that was very negative and uncalled for. I hope you accept my apology and simply delete them since they are unnecessary and add nothing to the conversation at hand. Thanks for all the hard work you put in to find all these artists' sales and I did not mean to disrespect your hard work, or anyone else's facts that you have used when I simply repeated stuff that I read online from Billboard and other "random sites" (IDK what exactly to call them lol) when I thought I was right and clearly your facts showed that I was wrong. I am sorry if what I said offended you at all while I may have been clearly in the wrong and did not come on this site for excessive stanning over faciful numbers and delusional hypothesis and definitely not trolling. No issues over here.
(And for "different accounts" I've been using the same one, I believe I've been using the same email at least, I just use those different names for different sites and switched them up by accident lol)
Billboard also wrote that Mariah Carey sold 1.6 billion units in Asia. Which we all know are delusional. Simply said, Billboard sales figure for global non US market has been terrible.
aria.com.au (essentially the riaa of australia)
This was Ushers certifications in Australia for 2018.
Confessions went 5x platinum
My way went gold
If you look at criteria for certification in Australia, you'll see that gold is
35,000 units and platinum is 70,000 units
Usher Confessions 5x PLATINUM
Usher My Way / 8701 GOLD
That's 385,000
LOL
Selling more than 250m in Australia is the most random thing ever. No artist studied by Chartmasters has ever cracked the 200m sales mark even
Taylor Swift has won just as many awards as Beyonce even though Beyonce, subjectively makes better music and is a better artist.
Justin's solo career is definitely bigger than Nsync. Not by a lot but definitely bigger.
I am wrong. Justin's career is definitely not bigger than NSYNC. NSYNC was huge. Didn't know how huge it was.
There is no way Beyonce's career is twice as big as Destiny's Child. Is she bigger? Yes. But Destiny's Child's peak was really high.
