​ LMAO On what planet?

Here on earth. Look it up gurl. That's official numbers. Deal with it :whitney: 

 

If you don't know what the meaning of records is, that's your problem.

Madonna has sold 300M records, but 100M albums. Educate yourself before coming here to troll.

​220 million albums when you count in soundtracks, remixes and compilations, the rest is singles ;) Singles didn't sell as well as today in 80s/90s and if Britney has sold 100 M albums I think Madge has sold more :emma:

​do you really think gaga will sell 300 million records?

​Since she is already at 157 million just six years into her career, and she has 25 more years to get there...it isn't out of the realm of possibilities to think that she could get to 300 million. :shrug:
