[@adamwenham3]

merry christmas album increasing every year

[@hectorbello161]

+ 7 million from her Unplugged album, her #1 album: 15 million: She also has the remixes, Greatest hits, #1 to Infinity. She is way passed 200 milion. It is also fair to say she has sold more than 300 hundred million records as she has sold more than 100 million singles.

[@rocardochang600]

That's not how it works. Singles are factored into this and turned into album equivalent unit with conversion rate depending on the format with CD being higher (3:1) vs streams (10 onwards:1). The video only omits around 9mio of her sales due to it being "orphan" and not included in any of her studio albums. Examples being I'll be there, when you believe, and I still believe. Greatest hits and #1s are compilation albums with net sales divided into its original studio albums and some part of it fell under "orphan" of which counted under each of its respective album sales. In total she is a bit under 200mio (195mio). She'll probably push through 196mio by the end of holiday season.

​@rocardochang600 it has a sales certificate of 150 million copies in the year 200 by Sony, this is manipulated to reduce its sales

[@rocardochang600]

@@ThekingOfMonsters1954 Again singles doesn't hold the same value as album. You cannot sell say 10 mio albums and 90 mio singles and say you sold 100 mio records in total as album is worth 10x times singles. It's like saying 10 piece of 1$ bills has the same value with 10 piece of 10$ bills because its the same 10 piece of papers. Label used to practice this method of announcement "x artist sold y amount of records" to basically inflate the size of their artist, as records could mean both the singles sales and album sales. This graph equate all singles sales into album equivalent sales.

[@ThekingOfMonsters1954]

@rocardochang600 no official method does this, mariah clearly has 200kk albums and 120kk singles.

[@rocardochang600]

@@ThekingOfMonsters1954 IFPI quite literally does this. Chartmaster used the same methodology as them. HITSDD also used similar method although streams are not as calibrated per its weight category (paid/free across platforms).

[@airyyss]

You missed the sales from these albums: 1. Number 1s sold ~18 million copies 2. MTV Unplugged sold ~8 million copies 3. Greatest Hits sold ~5 million copies 4. The Ballads sold ~2 million copies 5. The Remixes sold ~750K 6. Number 1 to Infinity sold ~500K

[@TerranceMorales]

I think it’s only studio albums

[@gabrielalbert6520]

When MUSIC BOX came out, it said “Try it on me!” to MARIAH CAREY and EMOTIONS, ha ha.

[@purehero13]

hahaha

[@Honeycomblife]

Back when people bought albums and cassettes. You heard it right folks we walked to stores and bought them and it was a whole experience looking at booklet while you listened to the music

[@MarkChristianKimani-j5r]

Its how Daydream overtook Music Box and how Rainbow got to 10 million for me

[@mariom6800]

Daydream outsold!

[@stylesmidia]

I'm eagerly awaiting Rihanna's singles sales video, she'll be celebrating 20 years of career soon!

[@purehero13]

i will! i don’t know, just waiting for her comeback, maybe i will when she will be more active❤️

[@andresaltafulla1021]

20 years NO . She died in 2016 in music

[@stylesmidia]

@andresaltafulla1021 She made her debut in 2005!

[@stylesmidia]

@purehero13 I think it's unlikely she'll come back with a new album

[@BLINGRIAH-RirixMimi]

@@purehero13I’m imagining a 20th anniversary thing for Music of The Sun, like Christina did for her debut album recently. But we’ll see!

[@MURAT-zy5eq]

lol I went to wash my hands and Merry Christmas surpassed like three albums in the meantime

[@danielm4436]

[@r3drift]

[@paolotartina3999]

[@mhdtony3003]

Why did you not include her MTV Unplugged album and compilations such as #1's, Greatest Hits, The Remixes, The Ballads, The Essential, #1 To Infinity and The Rarities

[@silston]

8 Diamond albums come thru Rainbow just making it to Diamond

[@silston]

9 if u count unplugged

[@rommc814]

It not , she has more than 200 million album and singles she has more than 100 m You have to study the information correctly. !!

[@hughw2377]

They got their info from cheatmaster, don't believe it!👎

[@danielm4436]

Not every album was here anyway. Still interesting to watch.

[@airyyss]

She missed a lot of figures, especially from compilation and live albums.

[@hughw2377]

Using cheatmaster as a source I don't think so!👎👎👎

[@elianefernandes3624]

Faz de Celine dior

[@jerrycaandoy228]

Where is the 1’s album dahhh

[@Bambam12340]

this list is wrong and you forgot her unplugged album she been sold 100 million in 2000 and he sold 225 million physical copies

[@moussamerabet5137]

Madonna please and Rihanna ❤

[@AhmedAhmed-zz5dn]

We need another big cone back

[@danielm4436]

I personally need major justice for Caution. Don't love everything on it but it's a good vibe. Charmbracelet needs to be higher up next to Butterfly in my opinion. Such a solid album. Some of her best vocals.

[@DoDe-zm7cn]

jlo ended her no wonder she’s jealous ijbol

[@badondorkhongwar6186]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I can't this joke
