BustdownGal Member 539 Posts 7/06	Posted - Aug 11 2006 : 6:07AM This is going to be harder than the men. We all know that Jenna is #1. I'm not counting Paris Hilton and Pam Anderson even though they sold much product. Jesus this is hard...every time I think of some it's like "doesn't work anymore...doesn't work anymore ...dead.. ...doesn't work anymore" 2. Belladonna 3. Nina Hartley 4. Tera Patrick 5. Mary Carey 6. Shane 7. Gina Lynn [Link]
Hardware All-Star Member Your other left 14595 Posts 3/02	Posted - Aug 11 2006 : 7:07AM You're talking American porn, right? I ask because I'd be surprised if a few European starlets haven't outsold the last three on your list. [Link]
picman Senior Member Nothing says I love you so much as a tongue in the ass. 2884 Posts 1/03	Posted - Aug 11 2006 : 9:54AM I'm not sure that anyone on that list is capable of pushing big numbers today except Tera. Belladonna would be the most active and prolific, but she's been stuck in the g/g niche for quite some time, her last two titles notwithstanding. Only Gina Lynn, out of the remainder of the list, has the pedigree and potential to really push sales. If Nina Hartley is still a big player, it's because of her instructional videos, so she might actually be selling well, although she says she's through performing. Nothing as egregious here as listing Ron Jeremy as a name that pushes sales, but that's for the other thread. [Link]

BustdownGal Member 539 Posts 7/06	Posted - Aug 11 2006 : 10:10AM Egregrious, brother picman? Oh my friend. Ron Jeremy is the number one living male pornstar hands down when it comes to selling product. He is a celebrity outside of the pornworld, as much as, if not moreso, than Goddess Jenna herself. To the mainstream world, he is the male face of the porn industry. Name recognition sells shit. No matter what you may say about how Ron looks or fucks, porn newbies go into porn shops, recognize his name and face, then pick up his videos. ka-ching. Not only that, but both Ron and Jenna's mainstream celebrity help the industry as a whole. When they're in a film or a tv show, we're all in that film or tv show. And we all reap the benefits of the people who say to themselves "Wow...that Ron/Jenna sure is funny/pretty. I think I'll go get a porno!" ka-ching. I sometimes shudder quietly when I think about what the industry will do if Jenna or Ron retire. Who will take their places as our celebrity representatives? [Link]
skronker Notable Legendary Icon Scopophiliac 9780 Posts 9/02	Posted - Aug 11 2006 : 10:51AM What's funny is that Ron doesn't perform anymore as far as I know, so does he have product to sell? And how many scenes does Jenna do in a year? It's ironic to me that the "icons" don't actually have sex on camera – or do so rarely. Even someone like Savanna Samson has 6 movies a year, I think. But Jenna, definitely, has to be the top gal. And Tera has buzz (again, though, how many new scenes do you ever see her in?). [Link]
BustdownGal Member 539 Posts 7/06	Posted - Aug 11 2006 : 11:03AM Robbie: yes, but Traci doesn't make pornos anymore. Kami: I almost put Jesse Jane on the list. She would've been number 8. Rather, she should replace Shane since Shane doesn't perform anymore. Yes, Kami...it is hard to pick. The women performers definitely sell the videos for the most part...but it's almost like there's so many performers that they're interchangeable. Or, if not "interchangeable", then "every performer has her fan base." Know what I mean? The fanship is spread out among all the hundreds of female performers, as opposed to focussed on a few stars. It's harder for a woman to achieve star status when there's such a large amount of good performers. Hmm...it also doesn't help that many female legends (e.g. Jill, Janine, Teri, Chasey) don't perform full force anymore. What does it take for a female performer to reach that "superstar" status? My guess is, the same thing I guessed for the men: mainstream recognition. Like... a pictorial in Playboy or Penthouse (Teri Wiegel, Janine). Being a pop star's public girlfriend (Gina Lynn) Running for public office (Mary Carey) Getting interviewed by Diane Sawyer (Bella) Frequenting Howard Stern/The Man Show/etc Frequenting talk shows (Jenna) *Being a great performer who's well loved by her peers and doesn't retire (Nina) Edited by - BustdownGal on 8/11/2006 11:04:42 AM [Link]

Who will take their places as our celebrity representatives?" They're basically already retired as far as actually performing in movies. When was the last time Jenna Jameson performed in a sex scene? Also their names will pretty much be associated with porn till the day they die, and they can put their skills to continuing to expose porn to the mainstream, so you won't have to worry about either for a while yet I think.

BustdownGal Member 539 Posts 7/06	Posted - Aug 11 2006 : 11:13AM You're right, skronk. Many of the superstars don't perform a lot. That's why it's smart to have a good catalog in your store [Link]
bono-ONE All-Star Member SAMCRO 8571 Posts 8/00	Posted - Aug 11 2006 : 11:14AM Interesting question and going strictly on porn, not mainstream or dancing just fucking on camera I'd say these girls would be up there, Jenna Jameson Belladonna Teagan Presley Jesse Jane Stormy Daniels Tera Patrick ?-- Hillary Scott, Briana Banks I think when you get towards the last few it becomes real hard. I would suspect the contract girls would sell more overall since you get the cable sales plus the general public I suspect buys more from the Wickeds, Digital Playgrounds, etc. and then you get to the gonzo market where Evil Angel is pretty high up. This is a cool question! [Link]
lee_11 Member former industry insider 62 Posts 7/06	Posted - Aug 11 2006 : 12:53PM Good points Bono. obtw, clearly this thread is not about the top selling women of porn @ Lee's house. Good topic, though. In servitude of Hillary Scott since 2005 [Link]

She was at Erotica LA and none of the fans seemed to know who she was. Didn't she only do one boy/girl scene with her then boyfriend in 'Ultimate Linsey'? She primarily seems to be a UK sensation. She's got the most impressive natural rack I've ever scene. I could see her doing well in gonzo. [Link]
BustdownGal Member 539 Posts 7/06	Posted - Aug 16 2006 : 9:03AM myadult: you may be right about the Linseys, Chloes and Lornas of the world not being as well-known as a Brandy Taylor, who straddles both the hardcore world and the boob-model world. [Link]

I don't know if the volume of work is gooing to be enough to be in the top 7, but average per flick has got to be way up there. Below Jenna and Tera, but few others.
