For pop artists, a hit single is almost always needed to sell an album - its just that these days, you need a hit single to score another hit single. And after three hit singles, you might go platinum - if you're lucky.music126 wrote:The list really doesn't have anything to do with album sales, but if you removed every song that only lasted on the chart for 1 week it would be very different, but if that was done, they would have to do it with so many other lists.

Billboard wrote:Celine Dion’s 1999 compilation All The Way…A Decade In Song tops the 8 million mark. It’s the best-selling greatest hits album by a female solo artist in the Nielsen SoundScan era. (Madonna’s The Immaculate Collection is in second place. It has sold 5,845,000 copies since 1991. But that album was released in November 1990, so its tally is incomplete.)

Looks like TIC made some gains on U.S. iTunes- it's currently at No. 108 on the poop albums chart- still at $12.99.
It is still a greatest hits though lol...HolidayGuy wrote:To boot, Dion's album isn't even a full-on/regular greatest hits- it had nine older songs and seven new recordings.
