Her second so...Bella Donna actually did 4 million. Her second solo, The Wild Heart was the one that sold 2 million. Her third and fourth albums both went Platinum. <br /><br />Private Dancer as you state went 5X Platinum, the followup only went single Platinum. None of Tina's remaining studio albums reached that level. <br /><br />Tina did get a Platinum album for the soundtrack to her biopic and two compilation albums that went platinum. Stevie has no soundtrack album, and only one of her compilation albums went Platinum. <br /><br />As you note Private Dancer did well for hits, 5 top 40 pop singles; three of those in the top 10, one #1. She has 8 additional top 40 pop hits since that big solo breakthrough (so thirteen overall). She has one as a featured artist.<br /><br />Bella Donna had four top 40 hits, two in the top 10 (both were her famous duets with Tom Petty and Don Henley). She had six additional top 40 pop hits after Bella Donna. Stevie is a guest vocalist on at least six other top 40 hits, not including her credit on "Bootylicious".<br /><br />So Tina sold one more million of her biggest album in the USA than Stevie, and it had five vs four hits (with one of those being a #1 which stevie never accomplished solo); but Stevie has had more consistent album sales success in the US with six top 10 studio albums to Tina's two.<br /><br />Tina is absolutely much bigger internationally than Stevie. 200million worldwide album sales vs 30million. But the Rock Hall doesn't often seem to care much about international success.Shrekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07669443710367366769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-461510719135754735.post-81485838752938612322018-12-10T22:30:18.819-05:002018-12-10T22:30:18.819-05:00Tony, I'm not sure if any of her albums commer...Tony, I'm not sure if any of her albums commercially easily stood up compared to Tina's. She had Private Dancer, which sold 5 million copies, Bella Donna did two million. Plus Private Dancer was a hit factory compared to Bella Donna.timothyjamaalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02193429162578467382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-461510719135754735.post-78656572444683070182018-12-03T17:11:30.017-05:002018-12-03T17:11:30.017-05:00Edge Of 17 is absolutely her show stopper as a sol...Edge Of 17 is absolutely her show stopper as a solo artist, as evidenced by the following live version from 1982 - no support from Fleetwood Mac needed to absolutely bring the house down, just the pure stage presence of a Rock Star. <br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykam-0DfKA4&fbclid=IwAR1GnbWzk4fqpiBwS0DkEj6RBWNK5Ni-P0eLOwFOQUFvCM-N6Oet7Vr-8n0<br /><br />I tend to give her credit for "Landslide" and "Rhiannon" as a solo artist as well since she wrote both songs before actually joining Fleetwood Mac, though the band was the vehicle through which they ultimately were presented to the world. I tend to think her solo career is short changed due to her continued participation in Fleetwood Mac. If she only had her solo work and nothing else, she would still be a solid candidate. I see people keep complaining that she was nominated for the shot at first woman double-inductee instead of say, Tina Turner - but commercially she easily stands up to comparison with Turner's solo career. Artistically would be up for debate. Shrekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07669443710367366769noreply@blogger.com
