Britney Spears & Christina Aguilera Updated U.S. Sales Totals
Contributed Anonymously:
After years of duking it on the charts, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera have something to show for it. Britney has sold over 29.5 million copies of her first four albums and over 6.7 million singles. Also DVD totals for Britney bring her to 21.4 million for the 5 DVD’s she has released since 1999. Her next DVD, ‘Britney Live in Miami,” hits stores this July. (Christina’s totals are below).
Britney totals:
Album: ‘…Baby One More Time’
Sales: 13,200,000 copies (since January 1999)
Certified: 13x platinum
Album: ‘Oops I Did It Again’
Sales: 9,300,000 (since May 2000)
Certified: 9x platinum
Album: ‘Britney;
Sales: 4,350,000 (Since November 2001)
Certified: 4x platinum
Album: ‘In the Zone’

Christina has released five albums since 1999, including one that wasn’t exactly approved by her, she has sold a total of 14.92 million copies of her albums and over 7.3 million singles. Also for her two DVD releases, Christina has sold 5.8 million copies of both combined. Her next DVD release, “Stripped Live in the UK,” is supposed to be released sometime this fall.
Christina totals:
Album: ‘Christina Aguilera’
Sales: 8,100,000 (since August 1999)
Certified: 8x platinum
Album: ‘Mi Reflejo’
Sales: 1,700,000 (Since September 2000)

Album: ‘My Kind of Christmas’

Sales: 55,000 (Since August 2001)
Certified: None
Album: ‘Stripped’
Sales: 3,620,000 (Since October 2002)
Certified: 3x platinum
Now it’s obvious Britney has the sales leader, but Christina has very respectable sales. Not only does Christina have the higher single sales, but she has a wide variety of albums which all seem to have done well, except for the demo album, ‘Just Be Free.’ Britney seems to be the big leader in DVD sales, thanks much to her music videos and her concerts. In the end both girls have their weak and strong points and I hope for their continued success.

You two people are foolish!Did u read the title,it was the record sales in US only.I admit the fact that Britney is sell more albums than Christina.Britney has sold 83 millions copies while Christina has sold over 42 millions copies (excluded the single sales).But the fact that ciristina is sell more singles than britney is undeniable.

Christina Aguilera is a better singer, caus of her talent and great voice.
you cant compare “oops i did it again” with “mi Reflejo”
Christina’s album was for a different demographic audience such as latin so sales wouldnt be so high as if an album for a wider range of audience, in english distributed world wide.
second, cant compare the album “britney” with “my kind of Christmas” again it was ment for a different porpouse, it was ment for a high quality and grown up listeners demographic and a season, not teenagers who wouldnt appreciate art, lyrics or the simple enjoyment of christina’s voice.
Now lets see what happen with “in the Zone” and “stripped” two album’s relatively the same, as for the same demographic audience “teens” and on “20’s and 30’s”. stripped with best lyrics and vocals, top all charts and won awards.
so, dont get confuse to which one is better, definetaly Christina Aguilera is a better artist, who knows what she is after and displays more talent, art and entertainment to different audience.
:D

Christina is pretty good, im not going to lie. but lets face it, britney is a singer that really knows how to make music that blows away all the other “songs” she is very talented, so over all singer she is the number one. no one will ever replace her. & as for xtina. she is ok but spears will always be better!

I think Christina had better singles sales bc everone already has the Britney cd so why would they buy the single? Both are good but Britney’s CDs are just better. You can listen to any of her albums the whole way thru without skipping a song. I have Stripped & Back to Basics and while I also love those 2 CDs there are a lot of songs that I skip over. I think that’s why Britney sells more than Christina-bc her CDs are just better. It’s not a diss to Christina though bc she’s good too. But Britney’s the best!

Britney Def won. Christina has 6 albums out:
Christina Aguilera
Stripped
Back to Basics
Mi Reflejo
My Kind of Christmas
Keeps Gettin’ Better – A Decade of Hits
I know that 3 of those albums aren’t for mainstream purposes but if she was sooo popular and if there was such of a demand for her, wouldn’t she have more albums out? There’s always been a high demand for Britney albums. People just like her better. The fact that she only has 3 studio albums out is pathetic. And her albums sales for those 3 albums cannot even compare to Britney’s first 2 albums. …Baby One More Time has sold over 25 million albums and Oops..I did It Again has sold over 20 million albums. That’s already more than christina’s combined sales of all 6 of her albums! There’s no reason Christina’s first 3 albums didn’t sell like Britney’s did, considering the fact that, it’s all the fans have! If Christina was soo popular, wouldn’t there be a higher demand for new music on a yearly basis? Why does she wait 3-4 years between releasing a new album? There’s no demand! Britney didn’t release a CD for 3 years so we call that a comeback. Why? Because people want Britney! Nobody’s looking for christina anywhere! So what if she releases a CD every 3-4 years? Who cares?? But Britney! We need her! Also, Christina only has 2 more #1’s than Britney because nobody could stand to listen through an entire Christina CD. They just buy the single if it’s good. Why would you buy a CD if there’s 1 good track on it?? She hasn’t had a #1 since 2001, and it wasn’t even on her CD! It was on a soundtrack and she wasn’t even singing in the whole song (Lady Marmalade). Britney’s previous #1 was in October of 2008. Why wasn’t keeps getting better #1? It came out before any sight of Britney! There’s no competition people. Christina needs to be compared to people like Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers in terms of Album sales. As it is, Miley has sold about 15 million albums-a 3rd of what Christina has sold. And that’s good considering the fact that she’s catering to kids 3-13 and some creepy adults and she’s only been around for 3 years. I don’t care that Christina has a big voice in the likes of Mariah or Whitney (of the past). A big voice doesn’t equate to good songs. I have all of Britney’s songs and out of all of her 6 studio albums, there’s about 10 songs I can’t stand to ever listen to. And that’s terrific considering the fact that she has over 100 released songs and hundreds of unreleased songs. I only have about 7 Christina songs on my .mp3 player because that’s all I thought that were good. Christina needs to be a hooker because that’s what she could do best.

I cant believe people are even puttin Britney Spears in the same sentence as the amazing Christina!For a start Britney has NEVER sang live in concert in her life,she mimes ALL the time!!!Ive seen Christina twice in concert and shes just amazing!!!her songs are way more mature than britneys!Britney is probably one of the worst role models for kids ever!!!At least Christina got married and then had her child!Shes a brilliant singer and all rounder…BRITNEY SUCKS!!!
