Britney Spears biggest-selling female artist this century
January 19, 2005, 11:51:09 Britney Spears is officially the biggest-selling
female artist this century - selling more records than any other woman.
The pop babe - who even outsold her idol Madonna - has been more successful
than any of her female peers in the past five years.
Even big-name stars including Kylie, Dido, Beyonce, Celine Dion and Whitney
Houston have been overshadowed by Britney's soaring sales.
A spokesperson from Jive Records said: "It really is extraordinary. Britney
and everyone here are thrilled. To become the biggest selling female artist
of the past five years was amazing, but to outsell Madonna over the past
half a decade is beyond our wildest dreams.
"It just goes to show what a musical force Britney is."
Meanwhile, Britney has reportedly asked Madonna to be godmother to her
not-yet-conceived firstborn.
The sexy singer, who is desperately trying for a baby with husband Kevin
Federline, was said to be so thrilled when Madonna agreed she gave her a
diamond-encrusted Cartier watch.
The two celebrities have been friends since the singer introduced Britney to
the mystic Jewish faith the Kabbalah over a year ago.
Madonna has since laden the young star with lavish gifts including a
900-year-old Kabbalah book - worth thousand of pounds.

anyway? If they are saying that she has sold more than them in the
past 5 years, that isn't saying much considering that most of their
hits were earlier in their careers way past 5 years ago!
