But 15 million doing that is insane, expecially considering she really only had like 2 hits.

There's folks who did that much on one album and only had one hit. Need I say Led Zeppelin? lol

Well the reason Led Zepplin's album did so well was because Stairway To Heaven was never made a single so the album sorta acted as its single.

Nah. lol Though Robert has nice assets lmao I still trip off on him wearing just a thong in public while playing soccer. You could see the fucker's balls under there. Like dude... lol

Anyway, I think Led Zep's stage shows usually helped people purchase Zep albums.

Yep, you're absolutely right. Whitney's Bodyguard Era is what made her a legend. She won damn near every award for that album. She was snubbed by the Grammys with I'm Every Woman tho, I don't even know who won over her. But Anyways, The Bodyguard is certified 17x platinum, it's the biggest selling soundtrack of all time. I was young during that time, but youtube has everything lol. I think she broke (or tied) the record for most Bilboard Music Awards won in one night. But I think Adele might break that record lol. In terms of crossover success, Whitney was the female Michael Jackson. No other acts crossed over like they did.

R.I.P Angel sad
