This list is a joke. Nobody knows and listens to Jlo in Asia. In contrast, Mariah is one of the best selling female artists in Asia even when compared to local artists, and she is not on the list. :weusay_tiffany_cackle_cackling_chuckle_giggle_lol_haha_hehe_laugh:

This is just a list including artists since 1998 so I haven't counted acts like Madonna and Mariah. But if you want to know their stats, Mariah is #1 and Madonna is at #2 of best selling female artists in Asia.

Britney Asia sales are underestimated, she from my estimations sold over 11m albums through Asia people need to stop stanning that MJD guy CM website he hates Britney and has deflated a lot of Diva Numbers this guy used to on Ukmix.org years back he gave Brit's estimation to 78m album sales the best part is even after releasing 4 projects in that time frame she's still at 77m sales +  DVD 😂

The problem with Asia except Japan and South Korea it's mainly impossible to correctly estimate the sales which is a shame as she came into a time where Asia buying music was at it's last peak.

Very true. Unfortunately, ChartMasters is one of the only very sources that is able to find otherwise such hard information to find to their website so I have no choice but to use their figures when it comes to matters like that :miley_cyrus_stare_meme:

Madonna was big in the 90’s too, and early 00’s.

Ray of Light was 1998, Music was 2000, Confessions was 2005.

Ray of Light sold between 16 and 20 million copies world wide, with at least 1 million certified in Asia.

 

This is only counting artists who have debuted since 1998. Madonna is the 2nd best-selling female artist in Asia, otherwise.

The list is clearly not Asia (the continent)

It appears to be just Japan?

Therefore, it should be titled “biggest selling foreign female artists in Japan since 1998?1999?”

I guess it doesn’t take much to understand when you get past the “deception”.

No. These sale figures are of Asia, and not Japan. Not another @Hooked-On-Knee Deja Vu on this this thread :gloria_falling_stairs_trip:

She is huge in Japan, but that’s pretty much it  these days (don’t get me wrong that’s HUGE). Even Canada (where we are from) paid her dust :imdying_wendy_crying_sad_tears_sobbing: I went to her black star tour 10 years ago and my god, I had front row tickets because no one showed up :sobbing_unbelievable_wow_head_shake_no_crying_sobbing_sad: I was all

I believe she’s 6th overall behind Mariah, Madonna, Céline, Whitney and Enya.

Apart from Enya, the other artists on the list are pretty much the same globally except in a different order.

Enya is a less than Britney in albums - like only 5M kinda less both are at par! 

1. Madonna - 210M+ 

2. Celine - 185M+

3. Mariah - 160m+

4. Whitney - Dk as most sales are from Bodyguard soundtrack which practically isn't fully hers 

5. Barbara - 145M (tragic catalog sales - unable to shift even 100K a year)

6. Britney - 90M+ with remixes and compilations 

7. Enya - 85M

WOAHHH :scalped_wind_storm_blowing_sand_dirt_desert_holding_on: These figures r way beyond ChartMasters but they seem much more fresh and outdated. That man still lists ITZ as a 7-million seller :orangu_orangutan_ape: I think for BOMT and OIDIA, it sold 100k and 60k respectively in India.

Why are y’all salty about JLo being at number 3? Her peak was arguably as big as Britney’s not to mention she was not only in the music industry but almost everywhere else
