    Congratulations!!! I luv Ariana.. now let’s get down to it. This list is only for artist who have certified with RIAA. Britney spears and Beyoncé have not certified with them therefore to be this list is invalid. Just my opinion. Two of the biggest female artist who ruled the 2000s and 2010s still haven’t certified. This list isn’t right until they do it.

    Congrats Ari 🥳 She found her lane and she’s still young so I think she’ll surpass Katy and Gaga eventually.

    Streaming is bogus. It takes nothing to get a lot of certifications with streaming.
