Holy shit... Are you even reading my posts ? Anyway, let's just end this before I say things I might regret. "Last edited 18 hours ago by francis23...

Literally no one said she was "a rival of these 4" 😆

Let me try a third time... I said she sold three times more albums, I didn't say she released three times more albums. And LivingOffTheWall is 100%...

Man, those Eminem fans really don't like Janet for some reason 😆 Yeah she was "chasing after Whitney's shadow", sure...

"Last point of urs is bullshit" What a great argument.

"Janet is nearly forgotten these days. In terms of overall success, she’s nowhere near the big 4 (Madonna, Céline, Mariah, Whitney)" She never was....

Sade is a soul/jazz band consisting of three white men and a black woman, comparisons with Janet are pointless and irrelevant. Janet's streams are ...

Oh snap, 2pac and Hendrix ex aequo 😆 One argument for 2pac is that his discography is much shorter (25 albums vs. 70 for Hendrix) and also more re...

"Or you use absolute figures, or relative ones, but you can’t use both randomly depending on the artist." What ? I'm only using absolute figures, a...

They sold 12m albums in the UK and 35m in the US, according to MJD's last estimates. You don't think 12m in the UK is better than 35m in the US ?

It's not a question of "more" or "much more", the whole point is that they had more success in the UK than in the US. Now if you ask me, yes they a...

Of course, my point was that, like R.E.M., they had much less success in France than in other countries.

??? They all had much more success in the UK than in the US, how could you possibly argue against that ?

I was trying to think of a similar band and the closest I could find is The Smiths/Morrissey, who haven't had much success in France, so maybe there's...

You don't think I'm aware that Elvis sold more than Meat Loaf in the UK ? 😉

Nah they only sold like 8 million albums, the other ones sold : 1. Michael Jackson - 24m 2. Madonna - 23m 3. R.E.M. - 12m 4. Meat Loaf - 12m 5....

I forgot about Meat Loaf 😆 He'd be #4 or #5.

Not really, he only had a decade or so of multi-million selling albums while Springsteen was still having 2-million selling albums 40 years into his c...

Reminds me of U2, hugely successful and critically acclaimed alt-rock band from 30 years ago that young people don't seem to care much about, although...

I think Molly is confusing rap music with rock music 😆

"Sinatra and Elvis don’t need Christmas to do excellent. All the songs in their respective top 50 are above 10m. By far the only artists pre-60’s with...

"But for Phil Collins, we just have a part of the picture" I couldn't agree more, basically half of his career hasn't been studied, which is a litt...

"Maybe the Beach Boys" ? 😆 They sold like four times more than Utada... Also I'm pretty sure Motley Crue sold more than her, and maybe also Janis ...

Yeah this "Unholy Trinity" thing is nonsense... Sabbath is largely regarded as the first metal band. Zeppelin and Deep Purple were just hard rock.

Definitely, and probably under 10m EAS.
