heres my point of view from artists:

lets use lady gaga debut as an example and we'll use katy perry, kesha, beyonce, britney spears, rihanna and adele as examples and heres gaga first:

the fame right now is at 4.3 million and her two biggest songs just dance and poker face have had 6 million digital copies. so without digital downloads the fame would sell like around maybe 7-8 million cds.

lets the fame monster also its right now selling 1.5 million and her biggest song is bad romance and its right now selling 4.9 million digital copies. so it would sell like around 5-6 million cds.

the final lady gaga example is born this way. the title track sold 3.2 million digital copies. the album would be selling right around 4-5 million at the moment and instead of like selling 1.9 million copies. and in her debut she would've sold maybe 1.5 million in the first week instead of like 1.1 million estimating but 1.1 is still incredible!!

now lets go with katy perry:
her debut one of the boys is selling around 1.4 million right now. her two big songs i kissed a girl and hot n cold were monster hits. those two sold around 4.1 and 5 million even though hot n cold was a bigger success. so her debut would be around between 5-6 million.

her massive 2nd album teenage dream is selling around 2 million and for that kind of success of having 5 no.1's she should be selling right around 7-8 million kind of similar to michael jackson's bad as to what he sold for that record of no.1's he had. right now katy's biggest songs from that album is california gurls and firework which sold 5 million digital copies. so like i said before the album would be selling like 7-8 million.

kesha (kind of feel that her 15 mins of fame is almost up):
her debut animal sold 1.2 million and her big song tik tok has sold 6 million digital copies so her debut would sell around 7-8 million due to that song.

her 2nd album cannibal is flopping only has gone gold right now aka only selling 500,000 copies. her biggest song from that album is we r who we r which is selling around 3.3 million digital copies so her album would sell around 4-5 million but maybe wont meet similar success to her debut.

beyonce:
her i am sasha fierce album selling right around 2.9 million copies and her biggest song is all the single ladies which sold over 4.7 million digital copies. so the album would be selling around 6-7 million.

and her current album 4 is selling like 863,000 copies and both run the world girls and the best thing i never had have gone gold selling 500,000 digital copies so maybe its selling right around right because her songs she's released havent met similar success to her other singles.

britney spears:
her comeback album circus is selling around 1.9 million copies. her biggest songs womanizer sold 3.2 million digital copies and the title track sold 2.8 million digital copies. so her album would sell around 4-5 million copies.

her current album femme fatale is selling around 740,000 copies right now. her songs have all gone platinum but til the world ends has gone 2 million digital copies. so her album would sell around 3-4 million copies.

rihanna:
her good girl gone bad album has sold 2.7 million copies and her songs umbrella, disturbia and please dont stop the music all sold 3 million digital copies so the album would sell around 4-5 million.

her rated r album has gone platinum so far and her big song from the album rude boy went 2 million digital copies and the album would be selling around 2-3 million.

her current album loud has so far sold 1.5 million copies and her biggest songs only girl in the world and whats my name have sold 3 million digital copies so the album would be selling around 4-5 million.

adele:
her debut 19 has sold platinum and her song chasing pavements also went platinum and considering how adele is doing with her commercial success so she'd be selling 2 million.

her big album thats out 21 is doing great 4.1 million copies right now and her monster songs rolling in the deep is selling 5.3 million digital copies and someone like you is selling 2.4 million and if cds would sell really well she'd be selling around 7-8 million.

what do i think about how these artists would be doing without digital downloads?

jennifer lopez's current album she has out love? is flopping right now and its only sold 265,000 copies and the song on the floor sold 3 million digital copies so it would sell around 3 million without digital downloads.

Your original post makes no logical sense, I'm afraid. It's hazarding guesses when they arn't really necessary. Downloads have boosted the single market because people can just log onto iTunes and download on a whim. Hasn't really impacted the album market by much. Physical copies make up approximately 70% of album sales still. Illegal downloading is the problem. Without downloading of the illegal variety Album sales would be up, yes, single sales would be down I guess.

Because we are all bored with your constant ridiculous threads. Havent you got something more imortant to do with your life, like clean the toilet, go to work/school, learn a language, move to North Korea?
And secondly, you have absolutely no idea how these or any other would have sold if downloads didint exist, so it is all guess work and completely pointless.
