It sucks because Kelly is on 4 million worldwide sales at the moment, while Mariah is on about 6.2 million and Gwen on about 7 million. Kelly deserves to be selling more than both of those girls based on their current solo albums.

Can anyone explain why these numbers are not consistent with the rankings announced at the World Music Awards? The WMAs listed Mariah as the #1 and Kelly as the #2 best-selling female pop artists.

By the way, since U.S. sales account for almost 40% of the entire world-wide music market, the world rankings tend to have good concordance with the Billboard charts.
