Keith,
I am from Mexico, and all the time I hear about the rivalry between our top two female singers Thalia and Paulina Rubio. People are always speculating about who has sold more albums or who has more No. 1 hits. I was checking the archive charts online and I think Thalia has more No. 1 hits. But how many albums have they each really sold?

Hello Jorge,
In the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan, Thalia has sold 1,374,000 albums while Paulina Rubio has sold 1,269,000.
Thalia has racked up 17 hits on our Hot Latin Songs chart, with four of those reaching No. 1 ("Entre El Mar Y Una Estrella," "Tu Y Yo," "No Me Ensenaste" and "Cerca De Ti").
Rubio, on the other hand, has notched 25 hits on Hot Latin Songs, though only three of those went to No. 1 ("Te Quise Tanto," "Dame Otro Tequila" and "Ni Una Sola Palabra").
