Just to illustrate how terrible the shape of the Industry is in today for sales, and how much things have declined - and while there has been time for these albums to sell more; aside from the Beatles 1 (which still hit 20 million sales relatively quickly), none of these albums had significant sales after their first year of release - albums just do not sell like they used to:
1999:
Backstreat Boys Millenium - 30 million
Santana Supernatural - 27 million
Britney Spears Baby one more time - 26 million
Dido No Angel - 21 million
Year 2000:
Beatles 1 - sold 31 million
Linkin Park Hybrid Theory - 24 million
Backstreet Boys - Black and Blue - 24 million
Britney Spears Oops I did it again - 20 million
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
