^MEGA LOLZ!
Britney Spears==>> 6 #1 albums. 2 diamond albums. 8 platinum albums. 400+ awards. 200M+ records sold. Britney has sold over 45 million records this decade despite only releasing three albums. Globally, Britney has more #1 singles than any other female artist except Madonna and Rihanna. "Oops!...I Did It Again" by Britney is the 5th best selling album of the 2000s decade worldwide. Britney is the only female artist to chart her first seven albums in the top two of the Billboard 200. Britney has achieved at least one #1 album in 3 different decades (90's, 00's, 10's). Britney is the first solo female artist from the 90's to reach 1 billion Spotify streams. Despite NOT even being a single, 'Tom's Diner', ft. Britney , has become Giorgio Moroders best-selling digital track. 2015 Billboard Awards ratings reached a 14-year high, with numbers peaking during Britney's performance. She IS the princess of Pop.

How long should I wait after sending a request a certain celebrity, athlete, etc., before I either send another request or just write that person off as a failure?

Any information y'all can give will be most appreciated! Thanks!
It is highly variable. My Aussie footy 'graphs average about a month. Star Wars & Lord of the Rings a few months. Rather than re-sending to to the same address, I might try to find an alternative address when I can. I might try the same address a few to several months later. But celebs, I'm sure, don't like to be hassled.

3+ years is my longest. One thing I learned is to use a return address that will stay constant. ie if you rent and move around a lot, you will miss letters that take 3 years to get to you! Parents addresses can be good, or your own PO Box.
