Reyna ♔ Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 MJ twice in the Top 10, I see Plus, I love TDSOTM But the biggest thing will be if she tops the Beatles on this list. I'm not saying she will, I doubt she will, but it will be something to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if sales continue the way they are. Overall it won't though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I HIGHLY doubt she can outstretch this streak to a few years to pull in millions more.

TwistedElegance™ Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 so um you really holding off on Madonna cause "I Don't Give a Fuck" and I love "Gang Bang" Yep, I'm holding out for release day when I can walk into a CD store and purchase it like them good old days. I haven't heard anything other than GMAYL, which has really grown on me. ! I CAN'T with you sometimes!! :lmao: It had to be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
