Take That, 2,2 million copies? Boy bands still got it. Can't believe Pink could sell 1.2m for a freakin' Greatest Hits.

I had no idea Slimane did the Monster cover. :lol

 

[cacophony]

That is such a terrible list. Not even my boy Biebz can redeem both Susan Boyle and Black Eyed Peas.

 

[Nolan.]

These lists only ever serve to send pangs of excruciating pain tingling in my balls, yet I keep reading.

 

[Vicetrailia]

I see why CD's don't have mega sales, but I expected more on every number.

 

[Dan]

Off that list, I own the Muse and Plastic Beach albums. Not much else I'd even want to look into.

As will most of these artists. I mean, honestly, how long can Ke$ha milk the autotune before people realize that she really fucking sucks?

Until she stops making horrible yet sickeningly catchy songs. So, not for a while.

Unless you never turn on the tv, or listen to the radio, or browse the internet, how is this possible? Taylor Swift is, like, everywhere - even on GAF.

 

[Pinko Marx]

I wish I had never heard of Taylor Swift.

 

[MIMIC]

Gaga=the next MJ confirmed.

I hope you mean Mick Jagger

 

[lupinko]

Anyway I only bought Eminem's album from that. lol

 

[PumpkinPie]

Well I usually work every night so I don't watch TV much at all, seriously I don't know who she is...maybe I've heard some of her songs on the radio and not known who sings them. I'm in the UK, is she known over here?

 

[Kabuki Waq]

wait...Micheal Buble is that popular?!

 

[coldvein]

so close, em. so close.

Shes big everywhere. But its okay brah, don't let GAF get to you, your life is better off not knowing who she is. Unless you're into the country/pop music aimed at 14 year old girls.

 

[spats]

I hope you mean Mick Jagger

Milla Jovovich

 

[ZephyrFate]

wait...Micheal Buble is that popular?!
