Sofianer 1,521 Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 How much did TF and TFM sell separately? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Fudge 8,583 Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 For clarity- they’re considering The Fame Monster as the double album that consists of both The Fame and The Fame Monster, correct? Been a cuff touple, a puff bupple, a tough couple of years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan 2,079 Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Wow, I wonder if 21 will ever get to number 1? I can’t imagine we will ever see a new album hit the top 10 in the age of streaming Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson123 35,563 Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 I'm a little surprised Madonna's Immaculate Collection is not there, it's supposed to have sold more than Like A Virgin and True Blue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wet Fire 6,637 Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Madonna, Britney, Gaga - all have their first couple of albums selling more than their later albums (In the Zone/Blackout, Like a Prayer/Ray of Light, Born This Way/A Star Is Born) which might be greater artistic achievements. It appears like a pattern among pop musicians especially devoted to electropop/dancepop music. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
