Original Album Sales – Comments
2002 Let Go – 16,220,000
2004 Under My Skin – 8,020,000
2007 The Best Damn Thing – 5,660,000
2011 Goodbye Lullaby – 1,650,000
2013 Avril Lavigne – 740,000
Lavigne was off to a superb start with her debut album Let Go selling 16,22 million units. Logically her following albums haven’t equalled this magnitude of success, but they were big in their own right with Under My Skin shifting past 8 million copies while The Best Damn Thing, issued when downloads were already negatively impacting album sales, moved 5,66 million units. All 3 albums had insane sales in Japan, shifting close to 4 million sales combined there.
Goodbye Lullaby and Avril Lavigne have been flagged as flop albums and their album sales certainly do not prove otherwise. However, have they done well enough in singles downloads and streams to save them from this conclusion?
How many units My World live album sold in Japan?
Can you update Head Above Water sales?
I remember her being popular but I did not know her debut was so huge. The 3rd biggest seller for a female during the 00s.
If am I do not wrong, “Let Go” has sold over 18ʼ000,000 pure copies until now, cause the 16ʼ220,000 is till 2004 the last update from ARISTA RECORDS. Mediatraffic give the albums over 19ʼ000,000 and put the album on their list “100 best selling/successful albums of all time”
And “Under My Skin” over 9ʼ600,000
Hi MJD,
Can we have an update with her last album, Head Above Water, please ?
Thanks for your work !

How Can I see total digital sales for every countrys?
[…] genuína e astuta o suficiente ao ponto do seu álbum de estreia, lançado em 2002, conseguir mover números impressionantes para um projeto de estreia de uma jovem artista, cuja imagem não parecia conformista o suficiente […]

Under My Skin sold over 100k copies in Taiwan by February 2005.BTW, wasn’t club sales at 4% in US in 2002?Why you estimated Let Go sales only 7.1 million there why Soundscan number is at 7 million ?
Hi dhhd,
Same here, standard ratios are used only when no data is available. It’s soundscan sales are still slightly below 7 million IIRC, it hasn’t make BMG top sellers list and wasn’t available for long, wasn’t available at Columbia House and its certification followed closely its SS sales, all indicators which suggest tiny sales on clubs.
One of these days can you please do more global heatmaps, I have a couple of suggestions: Whitney Houston, Lady Gaga, Rhianna, Celine Dion, Adele, Katy Perry… and maybe Janet Jackson? Lol. ☺️
