Taylor Swift may be riding high off the release of her ‘Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)’ album release, but she has just crossed a major milestone.
Full story below…
Swift’s sales have been updated by ChartMasters.org, where her total global sales have been updated to 159,682,000.
In doing so, she passes Whitney Houston, whose sales stand at 158,497,000 and Barbra Streisand whose sales stand at 153,593,000, according to the outlet.
Because of this, she now becomes the fourth best-selling female artist of all time. Only Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, and Madonna have more.
Madonna still remains the best-selling female artist with 247,542,000 total global sales.
In total, Swift is the 23rd best-selling artist among all genres. Her best-selling album remains ‘1989’ with 26,000,000 copies sold.

THE (Actual) QUEEN SOLD 146+MILLION since 1997 and will soon past Taylor with ACT 2 AND ACT 3 🐝
Releasing music for nearly entire decade (9 years – Taylor’s debut was released in 2006) and still nowhere near Taylor’s sales? Tragic. Queen of tragic.
*nearly an entire decade longer
Bey sales WITHOUT MAYONNAISE
Taylor uses MAYONNAISE
Not comparable
Deal with it FATTY, QUEEN Taylor stays winning!
Whitney took years out of her career to do movies./soundtracks Taylor did not…
She has no talent

And how does the count when the artist like Whitney is dead u black b****** . if a football hurt his knee so you still keep him on the field.
I’m saying Whitney is dead if a football player hurt his knee you still going to keep him on the field and let people score or you going to take him out the game
Because she still sold more than her. STFU with your dumb ass questions.
Asshole take what win you can get.. only cause Whitney is dead…
Dumb s/lut, it’s not a question,n . I’m talking to the author
Whitney was releasing music for 26 years vs Taylor’s 17 years. So Whitney had 9 years more than Taylor, yet Taylor still outsold her.
No. TAYLOR Did not SELL MORE
Cause they not adding Whitney Houston sales from movie soundtracks, they only adding cover albums…. they lying.
Whyte privilege at its finest. She has no talent
That’s not true she does have talent she just not Whitney

And ANOTHER F****** LIE…
Taylor didn’t outsell Whitney they not counting all Whitney albums and movie soundtracks
This is Definitely a LIE; Sis Still has To pass rihanna ; WE KNOW SHE AINT PASS RIRI.. So I KNow Damn WELL She aint past WHITNEY!!
+The QUEEN 👑 of insects 🐝 and King MJ are the only ones that made the LIST TWICE (#114 & #61) (#102 & #2). 💯
👑 Whitney should make the list twice with her cover sales. and soundtrack sales. But they cheating
Rerun those numbers in pure sales. All that equivalent streaming stuff is junk because it’s too easily manipulated.
She did 1.2 million in PURE SALES first week of Midnights ALONE. It was rare for artists to even do this in the 90s so try again.
And which album of Taylor’s was certified 10x platinum in pure sales the first year of its release? That’s what Whitney did with The Bodyguard. So you try again. Whitney is undeniably light years ahead of Taylor in pure sales no matter how you spin it.
Pure sales are almost obsolete these days as no one hardly purchases albums anymore. Taylor is one of the few whose fans actually show up and purchase. She’s a heavy hitter. A titan when it comes to sales. That cannot be denied.
@Sprinkle. That’s my point. This desperate industry keeps using equivalent sales numbers to say someone surpassed pure sales numbers and that is complete nonsense since they are constantly manipulating the system they created to make it easier for artists to reach new and bogus milestones.
Well now you’re wrong on that one. Mariah is gifted with talent.
People, stop squabbling over this. It is “not that serious.”
