    And yet, american award shows only put them as nominations for one or two awards... Whew chile, they outselling these popular artists and still have to work even harder to get the recognition.

    Look at the rest of the artists on that best selling list! Ed Sheeran, Queen, Eminem...this is incredible! I'm so happy for them! All the hard work is paying off, they deserve this.
