Here's the thing with Whitney and Mariah... First of all album sales hasn't been updated on wikipedia in quite some time so they have Whitney at 170 million albums sold, but they haven't included numbers from her last 3 albums which would put her at 190 million. Now Mariah has about 200 million, I believe. Yes, she has sold more than Mama Whitney. But here's the kicker...Mariah had put out almost double the amount of albums than Whitney has still Whitney is almost with her in album sales!!!! If Whitney had that many albums out she would be well over 200 million sold...so in all and all the album sales comparison in off. Whitney has almost out sold Mimi with less albums LOL
