Mariah is a legend. Best female voice ever tbh :'( but legend need to know when to quit Quit what? The industry? Gold album 20 years into her career with no major hit and a holiday album at that. IDTS. ;) i return from Xmas dinner to see the squabbling...have to add my two cents though. Mariah is one of the few icons of the 90s that i believe can still have commercial success. Many artists of the 80s. 90s will maintain their success touring but not necessarily with their new albums. Because Mariah has a wide appeal...pop/r&b/hip hop/ac...with the right material and promotion she should have no problem maintaining more success...will they all be #1 hits, no. I am actually more excited in Mariah now then I have been since 2005. I hope with this new phase, and out of respect for Nick, she matures with her image because she already has shown she can do so many different styles of music and have it become a hit.

Artists who aren't going to have any significant impact on the HITS chart this week include Tool and Mariah Carey. Eminem will, but I think his sales throughout the year can speak for themselves, since posting the equivalent of "I told you so" in every Hits threads and every Billboard 200 thread is unnecessary and adding nothing to the discussion.
Merry Christmas: This post constitutes an unofficial warning. Continuing the useless squabbling may find me less charitable at a later point.

Slicknickshady is so iconic. He is. Where else do you find a stan who treats Eminem like a diva? He fits right into Pulse, that's for sure.

I respect good music. That's not treating someone like a Diva. It's calling a spade a spade.

YESSS. SO Glad UK sales are still not dropping considerably. RIRI should now be over 800k in the UK alone. Take that have nearly sold 2million.

I'm loving that my girl is staying so consistent. Soon to be the best-selling album released in 2010? I think so.

I think Eminem will keep that one. I don't. Heading into the new year they're only going to be a few hundred thousand apart and I fully expect Taylor to close that gap rather quickly (especially considering her era is relatively new). One hit single and it's sealed.

This Christmas season has been very bad in USA. UK has 62 million people. Selling 1.8 million is selling to 2.9% of the population. If someone achieved that rate in the US this year they would have sold 9 million copies. People in the UK have a more similar taste, I guess.

Wasn't Eminem's released June 2010 ??? Em has this one...he's returning to the top 10 this week and probably next week. Taylor might have it in 2011, though.

God. Released in 2010 does not mean best-selling OF 2010.
Speak Now will be the best-selling album released in 2010. It will easily surpass Recovery.

Yep, it's very easy to understand, so I'm not sure if their just trying to not get it, or if it actually is going over their head? Not trying to be rude though. Ex. The Massacre was the best selling album of 2005(let's just say). But if you look at what album released in 2005 sold the most it would be Mariah Carey's "The Emancipation of Mimi" Mimi sold 2.8 Mill in 2005, 50 sold 3.4 Mill. But as of today Mimi sold 7.8 Mill and 50 sold 6.8 mill. The Emancipation is the best selling album released in 2005, while 50 Cent's was the best selling album in 2005. (This example is not accurate just trying to make it easy to understand.

People don't really count that though lol
Some albums move several thousands of copies each year. So are you telling me that an album that was the 5th best selling in 1998 but then sold let's say 10,000 units each year until 2010 and had enough total sales to be higher than the 1-4 albums of 1998, it would then be considered the #1 album of 1998?
That seems cheap and just a way to give your favorite artist another ranking.

Something may have been the second best selling album of a certain year, but it was the best selling album that was released from that year. Completely different. I don't see what the big deal is. And in that senario, that album would be considered the best selling album released from that year. Not the best selling album of the year. Apparently, grammar and reading really aren't strengths of this board's posters.

It's not like Taylor get's an official ranking or anything like Eminem, but people do care and keep track of things like this. It's silly either way.

People, not everything is about accolades, awards, or titles. If you can wrap your mind around that concept, everything will be just fine.

Lil'Wayne had the best-selling album of 2008, but Fearless is the best-selling album with a 2008 release date.

it's not cheap, there's no one awarding people for it, but if I had a say in it, I'd say it's way more important than being the best selling album of any year. It shows that you were able to maintain decent sales throughout your career, whereas the other one exploded in said year, but was not able to keep the distance it had. I'd rather have the best selling album released in 2010 than have the best selling album of 2010.

That seems cheap and just a way to give your favorite artist another ranking. if by number one album of 1998, you mean the top selling album that was released in 1998, then yes, it would be considered the #1 album. there is no argument against the above answer to the the subjective question of "what is the best selling album released in the year ___?" now, album "x" released in 1998 may occasionally pass album "y", also released the same year, and at that time would be considered the top selling album released in 1998, but every time album "y" passed album "x", it would take that title. if this explanation was really necessary, i truly worry about the intelligence level of certain members of this board.
