Clearly the sales winner is Britney. However in a time where CD sales were down Christina still managed to sell nearly four million copies but is still a few hundred thousand short.
WHO CARES! WHICH ONE IS THE ONE WITH THE UNDENIABLE TALENT THAT CAN ACHIEVE LONGEVITY? THE ANSWER IS PRETTY CLEAR TO THOSE WHO KNOW MUSIC AND KNOW WHAT TRUE AND REAL TALENT IS ABOUT.
Yay Britney and this is only the U.S. $100,000,000.00 well received Britney.
Neither Britney nor Christina have talent. The sales of Britney CDs should proves how many stupid people live in America who will buy anything forced down their throat by MTV
Yes, sales are down and people has been affected, including Britney. She has managed to sell so much in so little though, compared to others. People say her album flopped because of sales, but most artists out there are not selling more than 3 millions copies, so what are you people talking about?
Personally, I prefer quality over quantity and don’t think sales are everything (they matter, but aren’t above all). I do think however that the numbers are partially due to Britney having 4 studio Albums while Christina has had two…specialty albums like the Spanish one and Christmas one did well for their genre…but aren’t going to be widely purchased like a regular album would be.
Typical Britney fan. Living in the past. You’re only as good as your last album, and Britney’s one has been vastly outsold by Christina’s one. no one cares about the Spice girls anymore, just like no one cares about any of Britney’s old albums. and soon they wont care about her either
Well, Britney has sold much in America, and Christina has sold less.. Conclusion: Some Americans have no feeling for music and don’t know what good music is.. They’re acting like a bunch of sheep who are following the pack… Very sad…
THIS IS OLD AND PATHETIC WE AGUILERA FANS KNOW THAT BRITNEY HAS SOLD MORE THAN AGUILERA JUST AS MUCH WE ALL KNOW THAT AGUILERA IS MORE TALENTED THAN BRITNEY AND SALES PROVE NOTHING BUT THE FACT THAT SPEARS HAS A LARGE FAN BASE THAN AGUILERA THAT IS FILLED WITH TEENYBOPPER TRASH LIKE YOU HO!
Well Britney sold that in the pop days. Let’s see her sell that much now. I highly doubt it. It is a commercial flop considering Britney’s past sales. Christina has remained the same and she has more longevity than Britney can dream of. Let’s not forget talent too.
You are the real deal. For those who love Britney and Christina out there, make this article to be the moment of truth for the four Britney and Christina’s album sales in US.
