Out of those you've listed only Taylor is likely anytime soon, having sold c.19m+ US albums. Adele is 'reasonably' close with c.12m+.
Rihanna (c.7m+), Katy (c.3m+) and Gaga (c.6m+) are way behind. |

Would have thought that Alanis Morissette would have been close with 16 million sales in the US of Jagged Little Pill. Guess the follow ups haven't sold much at all

Well done Enya, I am proud of this woman! She sells albums by the bucket load around the world and barely has to step out of her castle. A brilliant woman!
Loved Reba's version of Rollin In The Deep. Didn't know Reba was in Tremors aswell. |

Taylor Swift is the only one with a good chance at making it.

I honestly hope the whiny rat doesn't. Her next album deserves to flop. Such mind numbingly dull music all about relationships.
Where is Cher Lloyd on this list is she number 11? |

Lol Mariah and Madonna always seem to be at heads with each other when it comes to sales statistics. Only one million sales between them, and with their enormous catalogue of music available that could so easily change. One minute Madonna's higher, the next Mariah is. Constantly flipping around.

A quick google and Beyonce has apparently sold 13 million albums in the U.S alone. The thing is though, Beyonce is an RnB artist. An RnB artist is never in a million years going to sell 70 million albums. Credit to her for sticking with the genre for all this time, as many other artists change their music to fit with what's in at the moment...for example following the cheap dance trend!
