Yes, its a collaborative album that includes a male and a FEMALE. It never said SOLO female album, just female album. Are we seriously discussing the difference between "solo female album" and "female album"? So I guess we will call it one of the most successful male albums as well if that happens... See? It's ridiculous. But yeah whatever Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's that according to who? I want to know if it's actually official or if it's fans just wanting the recognition Categories don't take away this success don't get me wrong But I'm simply asking officially what is this album categorized as and something tells me it's not female solo album and that if billboard made a list of best selling female this album might not count Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooper even has his own Spotify page. Officially, this is not Lady Gaga feat Bradley Cooper or whatever, it's a duo. Just like Lady Gaga + Tony Bennett were a duo. Exactly, these fans are so worried about getting the most successful female album, as if the album needs that to be successful. The album sold more than Cardi B's acclaimed, commercially successful and awaited album, period. It sold more than Ariana, more than Eminem. It's not the most successful female album simply because it's not a female album, it's a duo album, with a female voice of course, but that's it. It's like a band album. It's a soundtrack and collaborative album, simply that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Runway 27,876 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 5 hours ago, Jimboid said: A Star is Born has done exceptionally well and has far exceeded many people's expectations, but it might be wise to wait for official confirmation before hailing it as the best-selling female album of 2018. Music News Facts is not official. Looking at Official Charts, A Star is Born is listed as a Motion Picture Cast Recording in this article which lists the Official Top 40 biggest sellers https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/the-official-top-40-biggest-albums-of-2018__22461/ The article also cites 'Ariana Grande claims 2018’s biggest album by an international female artist with Sweetener at Number 16'. None of that is to undermine Lady Gaga's achievement, but to claim it is a solo record featuring Bradley Cooper when he takes solo lead in numerous songs is surely to undermine his role? Back in October 2018 when the soundtrack album went to number one on the Billboard 200, the article Billboard posted attributes both Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper all of the way through https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/8479947/five-a-star-is-born-songs-hit-hot-100 You have 2 posts and one of them is this, you are really taking the extra effort Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish 6,234 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 some of you are so desperate to have something to brag about... female album implicitly means solo female album (which can includes features). ASIB is not that, its a collaborative album with a female being a bit more involved. It doe snot diminish its success or its not an attempt to diminish it. Just intellectual honesty.

giskardsb 12,565 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 if Nicki can get credit for 100's of "hits" thanks to 5 second features, Gaga can get credit for ASIB OST. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
