Too bad the fact that she had 2 #1 in the past few years has contributed nothing to really push the sales of her albums. "Shakes head" Since 2007 (Using this year because I referenced Blackout, which camer out in 07') their have been a fair amount of Artist that have had strong album sales. Also can you stop making the "research" comments because I'm actually giving a reasonable argument instead of a half-assed response (like what you've been doing). Any person who looks at the billboard album charts knows that record album sales in the U.S are down significantly, now had "you" known anything about the music industry (as you called me out on) you would have know that worldwide sales figures are still maintaining a fairly stable level. ( The music industry isnt just the U.S :P ) http://www.mediatraffic.de/albums-2007.htm http://www.mediatraffic.de/albums-2008.htm http://www.mediatraffic.de/year-end-albums.htm
Here's a small list of artists (don't have time to find ever multiplat seller) who've maintained significant sales (U.S figures) Nickel Back - Dark Horse (3 Million) Kid Rock - Rock N Roll Jesus (3 Million) Linkin Park - Minutes To Midnight (3 Million) AC/DC - Black Ice (2 million plus ) Last updated number for this album was 2008, which is why I put plus Taylor Swift - (6 Million) Coldplay - Viva La Vida (2.7 Millon) Beyonce - I Am Sasha Feirce (2.7 Million) Alicia Keys - As I Am (3.7 Million) Black Eyed Peas - The E.N.D (2.7 million) Lil Wayne - The Carter III (3.5 Million) You can wikipedia the albums which give you the numbers for the albums sales (they provide R.I.A.A articles for the figures)

You're missing the point. I never said Britney didn't decline. You said Lady Gaga will be forgotten like Britney Spears. I was just trying to prove that that comparison is vapid because Britney is still relevant 10 years later and her career is showing no signs of stopping. She made Forbes top-earning celebrities list this year without releasing any new material.
