Hi Luminator! This is indeed the figure reported by the OCC - a wrong one. Their numbers are way less accurate than most people think, especially f...

Hi Maddy, Mediatraffic is everything except trustable, especially when divas are concerned as Freddy always inflates them to death. As per the IFPI...

Hi Mat! Yes, putting all figures together this is the closest to the truth you can get. Billboard reported long after its initial run it sold 12,5m...

Thanks for the nice words Tomasz! Hope you will get enjoying upcoming publications 😉

Only a few days left to see if one of you is correct 😉 @Raffi, In the middle of such a message I was sure I missed one question! About the bi...

Hi Raffi! Very precise and detailed views as usual! Thanks for your continuous suggestions which are really helpful 🙂 About Green Day physical ...

Hi Al, Thanks for noticing! It is now added 🙂

And it will be a big one 😉

Hi NicoleJen! Lately I have been reading various messages on boards showing a strong misunderstanding of presented figures. It now appears quite cl...

Hi Cbvnm! Weeks at #1 depend too much on the competition. You must look at Top 3/5/10 weeks. BOMT managed 50 consecutive weeks inside the Top 10 (4...

Sadly I still can't agree 😉 Both bands had 6 Top 10 singles, those of the BSB lasting much longer as 1D mostly benefitted from big selling debut w...

Which human with a brain would consider Waiting To Exhale a Whitney album though? The logic adopted by the RIAA has pretty much the same basics as...

Millennium was the #1 album of the year - 26 weeks Top 3 is definitely an awful lot. Britney Spears only had 1 week Top 3 and both Santana & Ricky...

That's utterly incorrect. First, when speaking about "records sold", all majors quote sales of all products on which artists got involved, this do...

Hi Tomas, One Direction have been obviously incredibly popular, on which argument can you safely claim they got bigger than the Backstreet Boys th...

Hi Sam, No official organization ever considered Waiting to Exhale as a Whitney Houston album. The album sold so much because it had various succe...

Hi Mike, Sales of Whitney Houston are just like figures of all other artists figures - as realistic as possible. Absurd inflations / deflations are...

Hi again Bri! Mariah Carey won't be the very next artist to be posted but she will be treated reasonably soon 😉

Hi Xyz! The success of Bodyguard in Latin America / Asia was often extrapolated into her earlier albums creating inflated sales figures as those re...

Hi Raffi! Well, as you know we can find easily a lot of fanciful figures over the internet. No serious source ever claimed 25m units for Whitney de...

Hi Cameron! Millennium is undoubtedly the biggest seller on markets not listed - rest of Latin America and continental Asia - thus it is quite natu...
