I have this email from early 2000 about the best selling albums and artists of the 1990s:

Following up on that New York Times article, they do not print the 1000 top albums, but they do print some top 10s. Again, these figures are SoundScan only.

Top 10 Albums:

1. Jagged Little Pill -- Alanis Morissette -- 13.5 million

2. Come On Over -- Shania Twain -- 12.1 million

3. Metallica -- Metallica -- 11.7 million

4. Bodyguard -- Soundtrack -- 11.6 million

5. Falling Into You -- Celine Dion -- 10.2 million

6. Cracked Rear View -- Hootie & The Blowfish -- 9.8 million

7. Titanic -- Soundtrack -- 9.8 million

8. Millennium -- Backstreet Boys -- 9.4 million

9. Ropin The Wind -- Garth Brooks -- 9.4 million

10. Backstreet Boys -- Backstreet Boys -- 9.3 million

Top 10 Artists:

Garth -- 60.0 million

Mariah -- 38.3 million

Celine -- 34.6 million

Metallica -- 33.6 million

Beatles -- 30.2 million

Kenny G -- 26.7 million

George Strait -- 24.5 million

Pearl Jam -- 22.3 million

Reba McEntire -- 22.0 million

Pink Floyd -- 21.8 million

Mariah or not, quite an irrelevant thing to say, considering how album sales are dropping. Mariah would have to release like 8-10 studio albums in the next decade to reach that!

Oh, I realise that but my comments were purely aimed at the lambs and how they love to twist facts to make her look better with her chart facts. :bad:
