In reply to dustin.

I know that albums don't sell anymore, so the fact that Lana had the 2nd best selling female album of 2012 and was able to sell 4 million with little US support is great.
It still doesn't change the fact that the majority of Methney's sales are from when album sales peaked and that Femme FATale only sold 1.7 million worldwide, nor does it change the fact that Miley is only big in English speaking countries.
