Hi guys! Just to clarify the increase of 17 million, it includes a lot of 'new' sales but also several major adjustments on former numbers. Back the...

No doubt higher than 150k then! On their communication listing all her sales awards, it was shown as Platinum in SK, so anything from 100k to 200k, wh...

Hi dhhd! It takes really a lot of time to get into all the details needed to set up new estimates, I always avoid doing that in comments elseway I ha...

Hi Michael! In Spotify their top 2 songs are old hits, hotter right now than their new songs. They got to the top thanks to a ticket bundle and dropp...

Hi again! I saved these all awards myself back in the day. They were available for sale at EIL website. LAP award was given in 1992, ROL in 1999, and...

Well I don't keep track of all the details, I always do multiple calculations in this kind of situations (extrapolations on the back of remaining albu...

Hi dhhd! I agree that the article is in all likelihood about TIC. I doubt its catalog sales there topped the ones from Japan though. If it multiplied...

Hi plan9fan! Definitely not Cliff, his album sales aren't that good and single sales without several key markets is way too limited! Santana are defi...

Hi Orange! Basically divas who started big did it very fast, Madonna, Mariah, Whitney. Also Eminem more recently!

It's indeed logical, but one has to get that information first 😉 Dangerous shipped 200k upon release, that's the only data we had by the time the ar...

Hi dhhd! You are good at finding improbable links! 😉 About Taiwan, let's not forget about Billboard's post-death article stating 1.2 million Sony s...

Hi dhhd! If they were issued by the China National Publications Import and Export Corp, then it's logical that no version appears in Discogs! It mean...

Hi dhhd! It's important to always check why an album was certified. True Blue wasn't certified on the back of continuous catalog sales. It went 7xP b...

Hi dhhd! Not sure exactly what's the question. Anyway, this total is made of estimates of 1135k for Japan, 550k for Taiwan, 120k for Singapore while ...

Thanks for your senseful messages Kris! 😉

Hi Lou Pole! I take you Twisted Sister is some kind of April's fool 😉 On top of the others, you can add Kenny Rogers and Stevie Wonder who are cont...

Hi dhhd! Yes, it's only a matter of time. Her catalog is way more valuable nowadays and the gap is already fairly thin.

Hi dhhd! The IFPI list countries with an official body tracking sales, that doesn't necessarily represent 100% of the scope. There can be retailers s...

Hi dhhd! To make it short, what's said about Jackson in China: - Thriller was one of the first international albums to be released there along with B...

Hi 梦之蓝! The best and most concrete picture (although the database is still being populated) is easily Discogs for 'unknown' markets. You can check al...

Who knows, this happened as part of a later audit already. What's safe to say is that Warner did an extensive audit in 1994 and that many pre-1989 alb...
