Answer 3

Western artist
Shakira | #1 Artist for 8 weeks | 6 albums peaked at #1 | 7 songs peaked at #1

Eastern artist
Jolin Tsai | #1 Artist for 81 weeks | 10 albums peaked at #1 | 16 songs peaked at #1

Answer 4

Kylie Minogue is the best selling artist of all times here (she's from the 80s tho), she has sold more than 100 million units.
19 weeks at #1 (Top Artists)
Her album Impossible Princess peaked at #1 and sold 5 million units
Her best selling album is Fever (21 million units sold)
6 songs reached #1 on Top Songs

Then there's Mariah Carey, 19 weeks at #1 (Top Artists), 5 no. 1 albums
Her album The Emancipation of Mimi has sold more than 17 million units
Her album Butterfly has sold more than 13 million units
Her album Daydream has sold more than 8 million units (the single Fantasy reached #1)
Her album Merry Christmas peaked at #1 for 4 weeks and sold more than 4 million units

Shakira is also very successfull
Oral Fixation vol. 2 has sold more than 5 million units (her best selling album, peaked at #3)
Her 90s album Donde Estan los Ladrones sold over more than 4 million units

Answer 5

Christina Aguilera. She doesn't have any #1s (besides a week in #1 in the artists chart) but she's the 14th biggest artist of my chart (3926 points and 64 weeks)

Most successful albums:
-> #2 Back to Basics (3x platinum)
-> #3 Liberation (4x platinum)
-> #4 Stripped (2x platinum)

Most successful songs:
-> #6 Fall In Line (5x platinum)
-> #9 Fighter (4x platinum)
-> #2 Candyman (2x platinum)

Back to Basics and Liberation are also two of the 100 biggest albums in my country.

Some 90s artists got #1s (Shakira with Empire and La Tortura & Shania Twain with From This Moment On for example) but they're not really big around here
