A lot of people make the comment that Christina Aguilera is in the shadow of her supposedly bigger and better rival Britney Spears. But those days are over, Christina’s album sales are miles ahead of Britney. I believe that Britney’s albums sales are somewhere around the 28 million mark maybe 30 with the 2 million copies of ‘In The Zone’ sold. I think she sold 13 million of her debut album, 10 million with ‘Oops…’, 5 million with ‘Britney’, and currently 2 million with ‘In The Zone’. Those figures are really good. But her shadow has surpassed 40 million total album sales. I know people will not believe this so I will break it down for you. ‘Christina Aguilera’ was certified 8x platinum in the US, 5x in Canada, and platinum in the following places: Australia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Spain, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Korea, and Taiwan. In these places she was certified gold for the same album: UK, France, Ireland, Switzerland, Venezuela, Malaysia, South Africa, and Indonesia. Those all combined total to 26 million. Then her Spanish language effort ‘Mi Reflejo’ and the Christmas CD ‘My Kind of Christmas’ both of which sold 3 million copies. So now her total is 32 million albums, and then the album many refer to as a flop, ‘Stripped’. This album has sold 8 million copies worldwide and give her a total of 40 million albums sold. So who is in whose shadow?
Sorry, you’re wrong… Britney has a world wide sales of over 76 million albums… check your facts with credible sources.
Sorry, as Maria said, WRONG!!! Britney has now sold over 84 million records internationally. Way over “her shadow”. Hence, Christina is still her shadow….
Much Love
Lol they got to you first but damn, where did you get such wrong information?? Just Britney’s first 2 albums sold more then all of Christina’s albums and singles put together
You must feel stupid now.
Britney: 84M
Christina: 37M
There’s a reason for it too.
Lol what a jerk, why would you come on here and embarrass yourself with such a stupid non-factual post. Britney spears is the best selling female artist this decade, 1998-2008, she’s even beat Madonna, Mariah Carey.
OH PLEASE, I LOVE BOTH ARTISTS BUT, YOU CANNOT SAY THAT BRITNEY IS BEST, YES SHE MAY HAVE SOLD MORE ALBUMS BUT ONLY FROM KIDS MAINLY. CHRISTINA IS THE VOICE BRITNEY WAS THE PERFORMER, HOWEVER BRITNEY HAS GOT A LITTLE RELAXED WITH HER RECENT WOMANIZER PERFORMANCES (X FACTOR). WHO WANTS TO GO TO A CONCERT AND HERE SOMEONE MIME, ITS BORING AND SAD!!!! CHRISTINA CAN SET THE ROOF ON FIRE AT ANY CONCERT SHE DOES! “STRIPPED” WAS A HUGE HIT HERE IN THE UK AND BRITNEY’S “IN THE ZONE” FLOPPED! PLUS SHE HAS TOTALLY STOLE CHRISTINA’S CIRCUS THEME IDEA FROM HER CONCERT AND “HURT” VIDEO. GET YOUR OWN IDEAS LOVE.
I think that the Britney fans are getting the 73 million number from total SINGLES not ALBUMS! Now who feels stupid?
Ahahahaha !! Christina is 23132131093210931 x better than Britney !! But wait… who is Britney ?? Is she the one who she showed her VAGINA , the one that she had sex a 14 years old, took drugs at 15, drink at 13, had 20 plastic surgeries and the one who doesn’t ever sing live and does always lip syncing because she has a crappy voice and a fake voice? Oh now I know who she is! You people are so fu**ing gay to compare Christina to Sh**ney ! Christina is a true artist not a fake who does anything to appear in the magazines with her vagina showing! Come on people….
Christina doesn’t prostitute herself like Britney in womanizer
@jajaja Britney’s still better,:D she makes Christina look sh*t. Britney has a star on the Hollywood hall of fame, Christina doesn’t. personally I like them both but I prefer Britney cause her musics better, and she just WHOOPS Christina A_S_S.
Christina is a sl*t…..in her newest sh** Gaga wannabe video not myself tonight…Britney is so much better than she is…… Christina always is in the shadow of our goddess Miss Britney Spears!!!!!!
you are really stupid!
You are comparing Britney’s US sales, with Floptina’s worldwide sales!
that is really unfair.
And Britney’s first two albums combined sold 45 million copies WW, five million more than all Christina’s albums combined!
so, you are a real idiot,
goodbye Floptina fan!
You idiot.. Britney’s first album has sold 28 millions, second one 24 millions, third one 15 millions and fourth one 10 millions.. Britney is an international superstar and she’s the biggest selling female of the decade.. Nobody even knows who FLOPTINA is in a lot of countries.. Britney has a global impact and don’t compare that unpopular losers to Britney.. You are taking Britney’s US SALES to that loser’s international sales LOL.. You are INSECURE.. FLOPTINA is an EPIC FAILURE and everybody is already making fun of her latest failure FLOPONIC whereas Britney is already one of TOP 3 most powerful musicians (Forbes)
What an idiot. A platinum certification does not amount to 1 million albums shifted in all markets. That’s only in the US. In the UK an album only has to ship 300,000 to get a platinum certification. In the Australia it’s only 70,000. Ireland = 10,000.
hey Britney is still the best no matter what happen many loves her music till now!!!!
Christina fans need to stop being so delusional Britney is the best and always will be.for example Britney made a big comeback with womanizer while Christina hasn’t had a hit in like 8 years. Christina fans need to face the facts and stop lying to themselves because Britney will always be better
who cares who sold more the fact is CHRISTINA CAN SING AND BRITNEY CAN’T!
Britney has had two number one singles in the past two years…when was the last number one Christina had?
I think it’s funny both those chicks are making millions and you guys are all on here swearing at each other about who is better, do you think either of them care? They’re both rich and famous all they ever wanted.
Queen Ann is really stupid because her albums sell more than her singles so it makes sense if she sold 100 million albums
