Best Selling Christmas Album By Female Artist Of All Time
Today TheDivaJuice will list down The Best Selling Christmas Album By Female Artist Of All Time. Eventhough there were lot of NEW Divas release their own respective Christmas albums. None of them can match the success of Christmas albums released by our senior DIVAS back in the 90's.
It is hard to sell a Christmas album I would say.. Lot of female artist have released their own holiday albums. But very few of them manage to sell over a million units. It is because most of the songs are cover version and to sell more than a million copies is already considered as success. Whitney did released a Christmas album, but the album not even reach Gold certification. Told ya it is hard....
But some singers manage to turn this minimal success into huge success by releasing their own original material and some of them even manage to turn their original song into a classic song.
