I don't think she picks and chooses based on how famous someone is :shrug: I'd imagine it's because she meets them at celebrity get togethers like award shows and gets along with them, then actually hangs out with them and gets to know them as people :yes:

These are just studio albums sales in the US gathered from Wiki. Except Like A Prayer after checking RIAA website it was only certified 4 times platinum. Will Taylor Swift catch up to Madonna's US Album sales with 1989 or will she do it with her follow up album?

Madonna

Pop

Considering record sales were like 300% higher in the 80s, Taylor already outsold her.

The new Queen of Pop. *takes Madonnas crown, blows dust off and places it on TayTays head*

Nope, because album sales have gone to absolute sh*t. Nobody will ever sell regularly as much as artists used to back in the day.

Depends on the quality of her subsequent albums.. But I think it could maybe happen.

Hmm, very good question. If she does, that's quite the achievement, though you still need to take inflation into account which might change numbers a bit.

The most impressive thing is how Taylor has almost reached her in an age were albums sales are not even half of what they were.

Taylor is an actor. He's a part of Chicago Fire. He's not a musician. Leave him alone. :neyde:
