Bar chart race of the biggest divas battle in the music industry!. Britney Spears, P!nk, Christina Aguilera, and more!. Numbers represent pure album sales only.

Supposed? Only Eminem has sold more albums than her since 1999! Im sure that if she was invested in her career like Beyonce or Lady Gaga, she would be selling the same amount as them. Anyway, her poor selling nowadays doesnt erase the juggernaut she was when she debuted
Yes but only as far as album sales go. Other commercial aspects of a career, she's been long surpassed by a few other 21st century icons. I'd say she's still comfortably in the top 10 most overall successful female careers of her time though.
Honestly Adele and Taylor deserve a lot of credit. Literally NO ONE buys albums anymore. Britney (who I love!) released two albums during peak album sales years. After 2000 album sales started going down. Britney, In the Zone, and My Prerogative though we’re released during the downturn too and both went multi platinum though. But by the time Taylor and Adele came out album sales were pretty diminished. Kudos to Adele and Taylor!
@@shanialauren2198 sorry but No, it's impossible to get this type of numbers in streaming era so taylor and adele will be the last act to get this type of pure sales.
@@fernandosiqueira9893 Because before crossover to English market she had to work hard and hard,For Americans it's much easier especially in the US to sell albums and songs
That is not true. It is fairly common for people to buy CDs in Latin America - it's, in fact, one of the biggest CDs markets in the world. However, Latin America as a whole lacks a unified centre that measures album sales, like the US and Canada that have Nielsen, Australia and New Zealand have Crowley and so on. Just for example, Brazil has Crowley and ABPD (Brazilian Association of Disk Producers), but their data often conflicts with each other and people do not have a good source for measurement. Now, Argentina has Billboard, but it only measures airplay, same as in Billboard Brazil and the country has their own source of music sales. If every country in Latin America had had a good, reliable, source of music sales information since the 1960s - as OCC acts in the UK and Billboard in the US, we'd have much more expressive numbers of sales than the ones we currently have based solely on iTunes and Google play sales.
@@vicentereacts1304 compare American artists numbers to Latin artists and you will see,it's much harder for them,after crossover Shakira became worldwide star thats why she stayed in the top 5,otherwise with just from Lat America it's impossible, that's what I'm saying.
@@beqamarsagishvili6988 yes, but I'm saying that it's hard to measure Latin American sales when there isn't an organization that does that as reliably as Billboard does. Who knows, maybe Latin American sales are higher than American ones! We have more people than them, that's for sure.
@@CountryCowboy008 yes she can, stfu. Britney’s forced to sing in a baby voice but her natural voice is powerful and gorgeous, most people know this by now. What’s funny is Britney’s forced baby voice sold millions more than your favs natural voice. Only legends 😁👸🏼
Back when I was 12-16, I was so obsessed with Britney. But I used to feel like she wasn't around very much and that I didn't see her very much. But now as an adult and looking back into her career, I realized that she was literally EVERYWHERE and dominating the hell out everything she did! And now I've come to realize that the only reason I felt like she wasn't around much was simply because I just couldn't get enough of her! Lol. When you are a fanatic of someone, nothing will ever be enough for you even if you see them on TV every damn day! Haha. But my gosh, she really dominated the world! She was anywhere and everywhere!
Let’s just remember that Radio play had a big impact in singles charting performance and sales... Britney was banned on the radio from 2001 Slave 4 U era until around 2004 Toxic era. Toxic should have been number one, Slave should have been top 10 along with Me Against The Music, Overprotected, Boys and I’m not a girl
@@peaceful_chaos14 she prolly gon outsell Britney, sooner or later. But no shade, no matter how hard yall tryna convince people with "she only has 3 albums", the truth is, Britney's first album alone outsold all her discog combined. That's why I said Britney is untouchable.

Britney during the time sold a lot and it meant people went out of their way to go buy her music, cd and stuff. It wasn’t digital and wasn’t as easy like ITunes.

Social Medias really helped Adele to sell pure albums. If Social Medias weren't exist, Adele wouldn't be close to Britney Spears. Britney is still more known, more iconic and higher legendary than Adele and the rest of artists on that video.
@@tayloralisonswift9544 and we see you iver there on the internet Comparing all the girls who are killing it But we figured you out We all know now They all got crowns YOU NEED TO CALM DOWN 😌
Just because all other artists that started their carreers before were "erased" from the video as both Mariah Carey and Celine Dion have over 80 millions from her releases since 1996 and Madonna have over 70 million sales from her 1996 on releases (they would all be ahead of Adele - imagine if all her sales since the 80's were included).
@@lortonlestar6941 Yeah but what she did was incredible. No other artist achieved the kind of numbers Adele did even with the help of social media, streaming, online downloads. Taylor would be a close second. But still nowhere near 21's success...
Britney was a pop phenomenon not just a pop icon or a singer. I don't underestimate any other one artist but Britney's influence and impact on pop culture was beyond of anyone in this list.
Y'all are not giving Adele enough credit. It's absolutely incredible that she achieved those numbers with just THREE albums. All of which were released post 2008 (when album sales started to go down). Her pure sales are insane? What a force.
Um are you stupid? Beyoncé has some of the most successful tours. Britney Vegas residency is a hit. Taylor swift also has some of the most successful tours. Please be quite. Stop dragging other women down to uplift yours
Britney Spears was the FEMALE artist who reinvented pop music at the end of a millennium and began a new millennium as a leading force. Unfortunately, the music industry robbed her, mocked her, and did not recognize her real worth. The music industry kisses Beyonce's ass, who hasn't even managed to make half of the impact, album sales and influence over generations, which Britney has made in just one single decade. It's disgusting to see the press writing that Britney should learn from Beyonce, because she's perfect. What should Britney learn from Beyonce? Beyonce has built her career by copying other artists or repeating thinghs which has been done before. While Britney came up with something new in music and made an impact in terms of innovation. It's so sad and disappointing how the fans of these artists who appeared after Britney discredit and mock her without realizing that their favorites got up there due to Britney's influence. The press is a mess that hates Britney and for this reason you will not see in none of the this publications the fact that Britney is the best-selling female artist of the millennium.
Beyoncé does have a BIG influence and big influences over generation and deserves her praise. Why are you mad at another woman success instead of appreciating for own fave. Beyoncé is a black women in America who manage to climb to the top and now is one of the faces when people think of classy women.
Kaue Lima no one EVER said they were inspired by beyonce or any of her shitty albums or performances 😫 Britney’s álbum blackout inspired an entire generation and introduced electropop omg icon. Beyonce? just a boring overrated ass. She and jay z went to see Britney at Las Vegas lmao even they know who’s superior 😫
@Summer Mae she literally has million of followers and fans. She has had a big influence on American culture as a whole and black people in general. Just because she has influence you doesn’t discredit her from influencing other people.
@@fernathebest414 "we all know"? not me, don't generalized all people that they believed on Conspiracy Theory and don't even know what it's exactly means. common sense pls.!
Britney is SUCH A QUEEN. I hate that people and many celebs dont respect her as they should! She and Madonna are the reasons female singers are and can be what they want today! They are the reason women can express sexuality in the industry!
Social Medias really helped Adele to sell pure albums. If Social Medias weren't exist, Adele wouldn't be close to Britney Spears. Britney is still more known, more iconic and higher legendary than Adele and the rest of artists on that video.
@@tayloralisonswift9544 I do see your point but you also have to account streams... the majority of people nowadays only use streams and if that wasn’t available you can deny that Adele would be selling more. Idk if more than Brittany but yeah
@@matthewbohnsack4352 But still Social Medias have the most major impact on Adele's pure album sales. Streaming apps are nothing compared to social medias. Remember her music video 'Hello' which was the most viewed for 24 hours on Vevo and people got an idea for her 3rd album so they became ready. Everyone has smartphone with ofcourse social medias, they always use it everyday so Adele is really to have social medias to help her. Also her 25 album and for sure the other albums weren't available on streaming apps for almost half a year I guess because she wanted to sell it in pure.
@@tayloralisonswift9544 okay I see your point again but here’s mine... I personally think that in this streaming era it is undeniably harder to get album sales. Yes you do have a point in social media helps spread it around. But I think the disadvantages of the ability to stream outshine the advantages... On average the albums nowadays aren’t selling NEARLY as much and there are graphs to prove that. Yes maybe people have just been buying less albums cuz they got bored but the negative slope is SO BIG that there is NO POSSIBLE WAY it is random. Streaming is a powerful force but it takes away the power of physical sales and you can’t deny that. I don’t know if Adele would have selled more than Brittany tho that is debatable...
@@matthewbohnsack4352 Yes there are people prepare to stream rather than buying physical album but still you don't how many people who still prefer to buy physical albums even there are streaming apps right away on their smartphones. Just like I said streaming apps are really nothing compared to social medias. As you can see on the video, Adele's sales of pure albums got faster for only a couple of years. See? There are many people who really prefer to buy physical album and Social Medias are the most major influence to those people. Yes, our opinions are clearly subjective but some of my comments are facts. Adele is great and that is fact. But this is a fact: Britney is higher legendary, more succesful, more iconic and more-known than her.
The fact the Shakira is Latina and from the 90’s, still killing the game not only on pure sells but streaming now too. Her TH-cam channel got the most views on youtube this year (2020) so far with 1.3 B views and she hasn’t even released a new album in 3 years, she still fills up Stadiums and Arenas (El Dorado World Tour), just played the Superbowl and she doesn’t even show up on Tv Shows or commercials or anything 🤣 I love all the Queens but Shakira though really did that🖤
@Tr Uz both Jlo and Xtina were born in the US, while Shakira was bored in Colombia speaking Spanish and had to learn English later in her life so it’s a stronger Latinx connection with her and her work.
Here some facts; -P!nk has a huge fanbase with almost only grown women and did that. -Britney unmatched. -Shakira, XTina and Alicia need more respect. -Miley Cyrus only 90s born celebrity on there. She did THAT. -Gwen did this with only 3 albums and Fergie 2 albums (and Fergie's last album sell 10-20k pure or less). -And Beyoncé did this 5 suprise released albums.
There are many young people, and we are many men who follow P!nk, the secret is to be quiet in the networks and support her when it is necessary to support her.
Nice video, glad it is about pure album sales! Idk about the numbers, but the real album sale divas are missing: Barbra Streisand, Madonna, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, most if not all of these top in album sales all of the list lol xD Other than that nice one for the younger generation of singers :) I love Adele and Shakira!!
yet britney got the MOST HATE, UNDER APPRECIATED, and not being RESPECTED by fans and her colleagues. plus shes under her father because of Conservatism. poor britney. her life was ruined by her fame.
She got fans who will go above and beyond to support her through this difficult times. Fans that will go out and protest for her freedom. She worked hard her entire life, never had to hate on other artists to gain popularity unlike some people, and to this day is still a sweetheart. Yes, the media destroyed her, but she has inspired many people through her music and her problems. So I don’t know if you were trying to be shady, but Britney Spears will leave the earth as an icon and extremely respected. What are you doing with your life besides sitting behind a computer hating on a woman who you don’t even know?????? Take a few seats and show some mother fucking respect.

I proud to be Britney's fan since 1999
Avril was ✨the shit✨ back then oh good memories
I miss britney and christina being the most popular female artists back in the early 2000s
I miss the time when singers just sang and didn't have to show their bodies. That time was the early 90s like whitney, celine, janet and mariah
Me too 🥺

Britney Spears: UNTOUCHABLE
Legendary Miss Britney Spears
1- Britney
2- Adele
3- Taylor
The one and only, the legendary miss Britney Spears 😍
P!NK is absolutely a LEGEND 💕
Adele is like Madonna in her generation, she literally came out of nowhere right to the top.
@Tr Uz both of them!
@Tr Uz Britney and Adele are from different generations... that’s what I mean both of them
Adele and Madonna have nothing to do. Adele is the Celine Dion of this generation and Gaga is the Madonna of this generation.
The fact Britney got 40M sales in her first three years of her career is insane.
adele got more in one album

Adele & Taylor be like excuse me, coming through!
They don't care about streaming era, they here to sell pure albums 😌
Social Medias really helped Adele to sell pure albums. If Social Medias weren't exist, Adele wouldn't be close to Britney Spears.
Britney is still more known, more iconic and higher legendary than Adele and the rest of artists on that video.

Britney said : Social Distance
Adele is second with only 3 albums. Oh she's a queen
Without taking her clothes off.
Just because all other artists that started their carreers before were "erased" from the video as both Mariah Carey and Celine Dion have over 80 millions from her releases since 1996 and Madonna have over 70 million sales from her 1996 on releases (they would all be ahead of Adele - imagine if all her sales since the 80's were included).
@@forsythejones642 but with the help of social media! Streaming, online downloads etc etc etc
@@lortonlestar6941 exactly
@@lortonlestar6941 Yeah but what she did was incredible. No other artist achieved the kind of numbers Adele did even with the help of social media, streaming, online downloads. Taylor would be a close second. But still nowhere near 21's success...
I think people are forgetting about the fact that almost everything is digitalized in 2013 onwards. So yeah. Pure album goes to Britney.
OMG Britney Spears Number 1 forever.
Remember this when any other girl comes up... Britney rules above all
My favorite female artists:
Amy Winehouse
Nelly Furtado
Avril Lavigne
Gwen Stefani
Britney Spears
Who ask you?
@@BlondeHeroinI did
@@mariabop than gtfo
@@BlondeHeroin its a public TH-cam comment section
Britney was a pop phenomenon not just a pop icon or a singer. I don't underestimate any other one artist but Britney's influence and impact on pop culture was beyond of anyone in this list.
Shakira queen of pure sales and streaming services
Britney and Xtina dominating 1999-2010. So satisfying
Y'all are not giving Adele enough credit. It's absolutely incredible that she achieved those numbers with just THREE albums. All of which were released post 2008 (when album sales started to go down). Her pure sales are insane? What a force.
Who doesn't give her credit?
BRITNEY SPEARS SOCIAL DISTANCE 🛐
The gay community will very much appreciate this piece of history lesson. Thank you
Shakira ❣️😍❣️
Wow Shakira queen of Latin pop
It's like the moment 1999 came along Britney Spears just DOMINATED period‼‼‼
BRITNEY KILLED THEM ALL YASSSS
Britney Supremacy 🛐
Avril Lavigne and Alicia Keys have done better than I thought.
Same , very surprised by pink too
Avril Lavigne albums outsold each albums of Britney except Baby One More Time which sold 30,000,000 copies world wide.
Avril was unstoppable with hee first 3 albums but after that she lost momentum.
@@forsythejones642 I’m sorry avrils recent album hasn’t sold over 20k Britney’s 1-8 albums oustold avrils entire career
@@forsythejones642 love me some fake news
Yet pink and shakira are the only ones fulling stadiums
facts!
Um are you stupid? Beyoncé has some of the most successful tours. Britney Vegas residency is a hit. Taylor swift also has some of the most successful tours. Please be quite. Stop dragging other women down to uplift yours
Taylor swift literally breaks records after records when it comes to stadium tours-
Jesus Gomez he’s not very smart
YEAH its insane Beyonce and Britney too ofcourse.
Britney Spears was the FEMALE artist who reinvented pop music at the end of a millennium and began a new millennium as a leading force. Unfortunately, the music industry robbed her, mocked her, and did not recognize her real worth. The music industry kisses Beyonce's ass, who hasn't even managed to make half of the impact, album sales and influence over generations, which Britney has made in just one single decade. It's disgusting to see the press writing that Britney should learn from Beyonce, because she's perfect. What should Britney learn from Beyonce? Beyonce has built her career by copying other artists or repeating thinghs which has been done before. While Britney came up with something new in music and made an impact in terms of innovation. It's so sad and disappointing how the fans of these artists who appeared after Britney discredit and mock her without realizing that their favorites got up there due to Britney's influence. The press is a mess that hates Britney and for this reason you will not see in none of the this publications the fact that Britney is the best-selling female artist of the millennium.
Tanja Jensen truest thing I’ve ever read. beyonce is overrated af. People should start respecting the princess of pop.
Beyoncé does have a BIG influence and big influences over generation and deserves her praise. Why are you mad at another woman success instead of appreciating for own fave. Beyoncé is a black women in America who manage to climb to the top and now is one of the faces when people think of classy women.
a butthurt mad about Beyonce's success, periodt.
Kaue Lima no one EVER said they were inspired by beyonce or any of her shitty albums or performances 😫 Britney’s álbum blackout inspired an entire generation and introduced electropop omg icon. Beyonce? just a boring overrated ass. She and jay z went to see Britney at Las Vegas lmao even they know who’s superior 😫
@Summer Mae she literally has million of followers and fans. She has had a big influence on American culture as a whole and black people in general. Just because she has influence you doesn’t discredit her from influencing other people.
Why is no one talking about Avril Lavigne? She changed the mainstream during her prime
We all know she died long ago and that her impostor has taken over undoing everything she did.
She’s legend
@@fernathebest414 "we all know"? not me, don't generalized all people that they believed on Conspiracy Theory and don't even know what it's exactly means. common sense pls.!
Love Avril!
She is nothing compared to Britney,Adele und even Floptina Aguilera😂😂😂😂
Pink and Shakira are underrated
Do you mean their numbers are not correct?
I mean They sold more than the people used to think
Fergie too
Well Shakira was always more popular outside USA
Britney is SUCH A QUEEN. I hate that people and many celebs dont respect her as they should! She and Madonna are the reasons female singers are and can be what they want today! They are the reason women can express sexuality in the industry!
And Christina
I would also add or replace Britney with Christina there
Ata İşsever no
@@queensawayama6773 replace Britney with xtina??? Cute
@@queensawayama6773 Britney had such a bigger impact that xtina its not even comparable
Why is no one talking about P!nk
Her longevity is amazing
She debuted 20 years ago and look
She's still selling huge number of albums
Britney iconic
Lol when people were getting about 10 Million sales in total, Britney got 10 Million on her debut.
U know Adele is the most powerful when u realize that she did THAT with 3 albums and a career of only 12 years
If adele and taylor lived before piracy era, they will be best selling artist all the time
Social Medias really helped Adele to sell pure albums. If Social Medias weren't exist, Adele wouldn't be close to Britney Spears.
Britney is still more known, more iconic and higher legendary than Adele and the rest of artists on that video.
@@tayloralisonswift9544 I do see your point but you also have to account streams... the majority of people nowadays only use streams and if that wasn’t available you can deny that Adele would be selling more. Idk if more than Brittany but yeah
@@matthewbohnsack4352 But still Social Medias have the most major impact on Adele's pure album sales. Streaming apps are nothing compared to social medias. Remember her music video 'Hello' which was the most viewed for 24 hours on Vevo and people got an idea for her 3rd album so they became ready. Everyone has smartphone with ofcourse social medias, they always use it everyday so Adele is really to have social medias to help her. Also her 25 album and for sure the other albums weren't available on streaming apps for almost half a year I guess because she wanted to sell it in pure.
@@tayloralisonswift9544 okay I see your point again but here’s mine... I personally think that in this streaming era it is undeniably harder to get album sales. Yes you do have a point in social media helps spread it around. But I think the disadvantages of the ability to stream outshine the advantages... On average the albums nowadays aren’t selling NEARLY as much and there are graphs to prove that. Yes maybe people have just been buying less albums cuz they got bored but the negative slope is SO BIG that there is NO POSSIBLE WAY it is random. Streaming is a powerful force but it takes away the power of physical sales and you can’t deny that. I don’t know if Adele would have selled more than Brittany tho that is
debatable...
@@matthewbohnsack4352 Yes there are people prepare to stream rather than buying physical album but still you don't how many people who still prefer to buy physical albums even there are streaming apps right away on their smartphones. Just like I said streaming apps are really nothing compared to social medias. As you can see on the video, Adele's sales of pure albums got faster for only a couple of years. See? There are many people who really prefer to buy physical album and Social Medias are the most major influence to those people.
Yes, our opinions are clearly subjective but some of my comments are facts. Adele is great and that is fact. But this is a fact: Britney is higher legendary, more succesful, more iconic and more-known than her.
The fact that Taylor and Adele only debuted around 2006 and 2008 yet they managed to be on the top 3
The fact the Shakira is Latina and from the 90’s, still killing the game not only on pure sells but streaming now too. Her TH-cam channel got the most views on youtube this year (2020) so far with 1.3 B views and she hasn’t even released a new album in 3 years, she still fills up Stadiums and Arenas (El Dorado World Tour), just played the Superbowl and she doesn’t even show up on Tv Shows or commercials or anything 🤣 I love all the Queens but Shakira though really did that🖤
Además shakira saca discos en Español sin tantas parafernalias !!
Yes. Very true. The only Latin artist in the list
@Tr Uz both Jlo and Xtina were born in the US, while Shakira was bored in Colombia speaking Spanish and had to learn English later in her life so it’s a stronger Latinx connection with her and her work.
@Tr Uz Shakira was born in Latin America, Jlo & Xtina in the USA
And I laugh when people made fun of me for loving Britney even back then
Here some facts;
-P!nk has a huge fanbase with almost only grown women and did that.
-Britney unmatched.
-Shakira, XTina and Alicia need more respect.
-Miley Cyrus only 90s born celebrity on there. She did THAT.
-Gwen did this with only 3 albums and Fergie 2 albums (and Fergie's last album sell 10-20k pure or less).
-And Beyoncé did this 5 suprise released albums.
Also adele only has 3 albums
Facts? Haha you’re jealous ass gives me chills. Britney is still the queen of sales and pop you want it or not
@@shatteredcrystal. are you blind. I say BRITNEY UNMATCHED! I'm a Britney fan. She is queen of course.
@@beezwaxk190 i don't wrote it because everybody knows this.
There are many young people, and we are many men who follow P!nk, the secret is to be quiet in the networks and support her when it is necessary to support her.
Shak 🔥🔥
Nice video, glad it is about pure album sales! Idk about the numbers, but the real album sale divas are missing: Barbra Streisand, Madonna, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, most if not all of these top in album sales all of the list lol xD
Other than that nice one for the younger generation of singers :)
I love Adele and Shakira!!
On a side note, FREE BRITNEY
Wow xtina and Shakira fighting for the second place.. really Like it. Till in 2012 everything changed.😲😲😯
Adele sold pure albums sales in streaming era that makes me more interesting
it's Britney The Princess Of Pop.!!!
😘😘😘😘😘
yet britney got the MOST HATE, UNDER APPRECIATED, and not being RESPECTED by fans and her colleagues. plus shes under her father because of Conservatism. poor britney. her life was ruined by her fame.
She got fans who will go above and beyond to support her through this difficult times. Fans that will go out and protest for her freedom. She worked hard her entire life, never had to hate on other artists to gain popularity unlike some people, and to this day is still a sweetheart. Yes, the media destroyed her, but she has inspired many people through her music and her problems. So I don’t know if you were trying to be shady, but Britney Spears will leave the earth as an icon and extremely respected. What are you doing with your life besides sitting behind a computer hating on a woman who you don’t even know?????? Take a few seats and show some mother fucking respect.
Adele did that with only 3 albums, that's crazy
No one can be Britney or Shakira
Adele in 2011 was like "lol watch this"
SHE DID THAT!!!
THE LEGENDARY MISS BRITNEY SPEARS 💚
Edit: can't wait for her next big comeback
you can't compete where you don't compare. Britney is the bomb.
the way britney is an A-List since she arrived wow the one and only princess of pop y'all
Shakira legend , still going 30 years into her career
Queen Britney did it just like that, what a legend.
WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT P!NK? shes like the underrated yet one of the biggest divas ever
Shakira is legend
I love how when taylor released 1989 in 2014 is like :
Excuse me in gonna pass
@Tr Uz ok?
I was like: go Christina, go!
Queen Britney!! Sold more than 50 millions only with her two first albums!
Adele with 3 albums 💅✨
