If she releases an album first. Otherwise Coldplay/Taylor will beat her to it. Although her page hasn't even been updated for quite some time so she might have already passed the mark
She is a force but traded commerciality for critical acclaim in the 10s hence selling half of what she sold in the 00s. While she grew in other areas her commercial appeal declined due to straying away from Pop and Radio friendly music. Having said that, she has less albums than Coldplay so her average is healthy.
Still sold upwards of 3M pure copies and 8M songs with only one top 10 moderate hit.
That’s a soundtrack not B7 and it flopped cuz she simply doesn’t promote/perform/service songs to radio.
The Gift is a compilation with various artist and had no promo from Disney! Plus it’s a non-mainstream genre so idk what kind of numbers you expected
I have to agree. I think Beyonce still has another successful mainstream album in her, it’s just her recent projects have been to ‘artsy’ for the general public and the accompanying films wouldn’t be factor into the cspc as they are literally musical films on streaming services.
If Adele releases this year, she gonna get it otherwise her catalog in 5 years gonna take her there anyways. BTS looks poised to do it by 2022 end or early 2023. They gonna be fastest among 21st century artist doing it in less than ten years! Damn! Their streaming numbers keep increasing year after year, so are there pure sales.
You can see her total on best selling artists list. Right now she’s around 71m, she should hit 100m late this decade or in 2030 if all goes smoothly.
Adele joining the club soon. I feel bieber will join earlier than ed. And maybe even BTS, who must be around 82 million eas. With one proper album next years, huge streaming catalog and japanese release, they might even do earlier than justin and ed.
After a few years the picture looks so different. Taylor was the first to reach 100 million and now leads everybody by a large margin. At the time this article was released Taylor 76 million & now she is at 134 million. Which is insane. I thought Rihanna was gonna blew everybody in the future, but her inactivity in the music scene is slowing down her sales. Still at 100+ million sales, I dont think she has much to complain.
