I agree with this.
But my curious mind would still love to see visual proof that Swift has amassed more album sales, not just in the US, but worldwide than Metallica, Prince, Van Halen has in the time they've been active. For me, what Chula has claimed and supposedly proven to me, is an extremely bold statement of Swift and her accomplishments.
And, as I thought. Swift has sold 80 million digital singles, not albums. So, when you factor than in to the bigger picture. Swift has only sold 30 million actual albums, not 110 million albums. So, that does not place her above Metallica in actual album sales, or Van Halen, or even Prince. Now I want to go figure out how much those three have sold in digital singles...
