Mariah is an artist from the time when people actually had to go to a music store to buy a physical copy of your album. The bulk of Taylors work is of the era when you could just download/stream a song from the comfort of wherever you are. Its an unfair comparison, but it shows just how incredible Mariah's career has been. Would love to see a Janet Jackson vs Madonna sales battle.

There’s no need to try to discredit Taylor’s success. The truth is that Mariah was the best selling artist of the 90s (alongside Celine and Whitney), but Taylor is the best selling artist of the 10s and she’s probably going to be one the best selling artists of the 20s as well. She’s just as big as Mariah was in her prime, it’s a matter of fact. The fandom she has is enormous and the fact that she has the highest grossing tour of all time, not to mention the fact that she is the only female artist who became a billionaire primarily thanks to her music career (Rihanna did it first but thanks to make up and clothing lines), even becoming richer than Madonna, is a testament to just how big she is… and she’s only 33 and in full momentum, she is gonna keep growing

TBH, album/single sales are probably very difficult to track. Most countries don’t have regulated tracking systems. Music is also consumed very differently today than 30 years ago. Physical sales, digital sales and streaming are also very difficult to compare (even tho there are equivalent units, but are they really equivalent tho??) also there are probably millions or even tens of millions of pirated copies especially from the 90s and 00s. So if two people have like a few millions difference in sales, it’s really not accurate. And it doesn’t really matter, Taylor is a good artist (even tho she’s definitely not as talented as mariah in the music department but she’s amazing) and we should be happy a young female artist is dominating global music market and not a (straight) man🤷♂️

so many Mariah’s fans are triggered by the fact that Taylor is already on Mariah’s level in terms of sales. They claim that Mariah is superior in terms of pure sales, well duh? Her peak was at a time where pure sales were basically the only option to buy albums! Taylor eclipsed Mariah with digital and streaming sales, and even these days when pure sales are almost dead, she still has decent numbers. Also, they downplay Taylor’s talent just because her vocals are not on Mariah’s level. First of all Taylor is a pretty good live singer who can deliver her songs live back to back and she made great progress from her debut. First and foremost she is a very productive songwriter who writes both melodies and lyrics and who even wrote entire albums as the sole writer. She is pretty good instrumentalist (something that Mariah never was), being able to sing while playing with ease the guitar or the piano. She’s also grown into a pretty good performer and she’s being a brilliant businesswoman so far. Her talent is definitely real, she’s just not as focused on vocals as Mariah. Btw chartmasters is way more accurate than certifications (which are often manipulated, see Rihanna being more certified than Madonna), and it takes into account official statistics (including billboard and soundscan, plus hundreds of sources from all countries) from all metrics (singles, albums, LP, pure sales, digital sales, streaming), all weighted properly with a formula that’s used for everyone. It’s the most accurate and up to date source that we have. It’s ridiculous to try to downplay Taylor’s obvious discographic success just to defend the delusion that Mariah is untouchable because she’s the Queen of the 90s. Time goes on, new successful artists come out, there’s room for everybody. They belong in the same league amongst the top4 best selling female artists of all time, with Celine and Madonna

@@MrFidelVEVO on chartmasters Mariah’s figures have been updated less than a month ago, and Taylor’s figures have been last updated in July 2023, so actually on chartmasters Mariah’s figures are more up to date, and according to chartmasters Taylor still outsold Mariah in equivalent units. According to claimed figures they are both around 200 millions sales. They definitely belong in the same league in terms of discographic success. When it comes to touring success, Taylor is in a league of her own. Regarding Taylor’s singing voice, I find her voice perfectly fine for the type of songs she sings. She has a pretty good range and strong lows, and her style works for her songs. Ofc she doesn’t compare to Mariah’s technical skill at her prime, but singing is just a fraction of her artistry, and vocal technique is not her main focus. They’re completely different artists, but they’re both insanely successful.

come on! I know some Mariah fans are delusional, but Mariah is also a GREAT songwriter, and much more criative producer than Taylor. She is underrated in those areas cause of the time misogynyst and rockist time she peaked. It is a fact. Its sad she dont receive the respect she deserves. Kudos for Taylor to write and produce her material as well. Their songwriting are not alike. Vocabullary wise, for me, Mariah is more mature even is ver 20's. But maybe is just me.

Is this really comparable me going to the record store to by £15 CD from HMV of every Mariah album. And now people stream one song for 30 seconds it counts as a sale ... I think not.

Probably not but even so, Mariah Carey still surpasses Taylor Swift obviously, Mariah Carey's prime was in a time period with no stream platforms, so people used to purchase more albums back then... However, that doesn't mean Mariah Carey is overall more influential, she is indeed a strong artist and will be heavily remembered, and she indeed surpasses Taylor Swift in many aspects, but she is NOT more successful overall, Taylor Swift definitely has had much more success even when her career is still ongoing and far from it's end Also, Taylor Swift has more album sales overall, the fact that 1989 fell behind Daydream and Music box, doesn't mean Mariah Carey has sold more, Taylor Swift has sold a bit more albums although the difference isn't significant, but it is a Crazy milestone taking into account people used to buy albums way more back back then

some people just can’t handle the fact that a younger musician is outgrowing one who’s been around for almost 30 years now. music changes and evolves and taylor is the future of the music industry. mariah had her time, now let someone else take the spotlight instead of sitting here and whining and making excuses as to why taylor is outselling mariah. god for bid.

Nothing personal on Taylor, but music now is FAR from envolving. The quality in general is just decreasing. And is ok that younger artists are breaking records, but the world and music sales works way different now. Its not comparable. Mariah's music is timeless and were ahead of the time. Take some time and try to appreciate it, knowing the personal story of her. If you like Taylor relatable work, sure you'll like Mariah's too. Sales dont mean everything.

@@eryzonhuan8604 You are outdated. In the RIAA data of musical artists with the highest certified sales in the USA, Taylor Swift is already well above Mariah. While in estimated/certified global sales it went from 12th to 9th place and this can change at any time. For this list of the best-selling artists in history, they must have estimated sales equivalent to at least 20% of their certified sales, and 75% in the case of newer artist. This is because companies often tend to exaggerate estimated sales, causing unrealistic figures that cannot be corroborated, and because certifications have changed over the decades. In the US alone, the 1989 re-recording certified 4 million copies in less than 3 months and MIDNIGHTS 14 million worldwide, making them the fastest albums to reach that mark in the decade. She is the most consumed artist on vinyl albums, achieving five positions simultaneously in the top 10 of best-selling vinyl albums, the only solo artist to achieve this feat in history. First in history to occupy the entire top 4 of pure copies in the US Highest vinyl sales (2023) in 30 years, and fastest growing in the UK. And the list goes on.
