ThatOtherFan Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 "Case of The Ex" was Mya's biggest hit and yes it was big for someone of her low caliber but it was nowhere near as big as Ciara's Goodies era. You're reaching. I know that. My point was that she did have "big" hits (well at least one hit )... and they are basically equal saleswise. Mya having Ciara the edge overall, and Ciara having the edge in the states. Why am I even discussing this? I'm not a fan/stan of neither. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illi Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I say Mya for all three, but at least Ciara had a time when she was that bitch. Can't say that about Mya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeJoe Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 I say Mya for all three, but at least Ciara had a time when she was that bitch. Can't say that about Mya. Mya was almost there. I couldn't stand "Ghetto Superstar"...I'd change the station everytime it came on lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Ciara has the edge (in sales) in the states, and Mya has the edge worldwide. Ciara had the potential to be bigger, but it just didn't happen. Worldwide Mya doesn't have world wide appeal... She barely has Hollywood appeal... That's a joke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I know that. they are basically equal saleswise. Goodies sold more copies than Mya entire set of Platinum releases. Goodies is 3x plat... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatOtherFan Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Worldwide Mya doesn't have world wide appeal... She barely has Hollywood appeal... That's a joke I'm just going by what I read... Worldwide Mya has Ciara by a million (Mya 7 and Ciara 6). In the states, Ciara has Mya by a million (Ciara 4.3 and Mya 3.2) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Ciara had plenty of help getting her there. Mya mostly did her thing solo what are u babbling about?

henrietta. Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Singer: Mya (But it's not like she's way better than Ciara's 1 or 2 notes.) Dancing: Ciara (But Mya was a good too.) All-Around Bigger Star: Ciara (Her career even though it's short did better than Mya's. She's not at the top of the Hot 100, but she's bound to come out with at least an R&B hit. And like bali said, record labels still give Ciara chances and folks here about it unlike Mya.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(as I'm not a fan nor do I stan for either) Mya has two platinum certs and one gold RIAA certs in the US (and according to Wiki, her soundscans for each project exceed her RIAA certs). The 3.2 million figure comes from her supposed soundcan figure which DO NOT seem inflated. I'm not sure about the worldwide sales though, but that's what listed. Hence, the comments I made earlier.

Listen,Im a Mya fan and I've always been up on her sales. Yes, her soundscan numbers are more than her certifications but not much..a few hundred thousand -at best. But my thing is..if even you find Mya's WW sales to be suspect whay are you saying she has a slight edge over Ciara WW? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my thing is..if even you find Mya's WW sales to be suspect whay are you saying she has a slight edge over Ciara WW? Her soundscan figure is 3.2 million. She only has 2.5 million in RIAA certs...so it's more than a few hundred thousand. I didn't say I thought her worldwide figures were suspect. I only meant I'm not sure about where they come from, because I don't follow her career. I can't easily access receipts (nor do I care to find them) like I can with Mike or Janet. USUALLY sales info on Wiki (unless some stan posts inflated and erroneous information) is based on various legitimate articles (even Aaliyah's WW sales on Wiki are sourced from various articles)...now where did those articles get those figures from is the question. Either way, my only point is that they aren't that far from each other in sales...and overall I disagree with the consensus that Ciara was bigger.
