Mariah Stans vs. Celine Stans vs. Whitney Stans vs. Madonna Stans

Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Madonna, and Whitney Houston have all been listed (by different sources) as the “biggest-selling female artist of all time”. This is has been the subject of hours of internet stan debate and skull draggings. There is a bit of controversy as to which female artist is actually the biggest selling, and what information is used to determine which artist is the “biggest selling”.

There was once a time when album sales determined this number. But as fewer albums are sold each year, people have started adding singles into the equation. Of course, some stans started adding concert ticket sales (which knocks Mariah out of the competition). Now stans use albums, singles, tickets, ringtones, videos, YouTube views, Twitter followers, Facebook friends, and other such foolishness.

Because neither Mariah, Whitney, Celine, nor, Madonna has sent me a percentage of the royalty checks from these sales, I am currently unable to give a damn either way.
