So what's posted is a low estimate. A French sales site has Janet as follows: Albums: 994,361 Singles: 1,545,137 Total Records: 2,539,498 http://www.infodisc.fr/Artiste_Ventes.php The figure with the estimated updates is closer to the figure provided by the French site. So we can safely assume the estimates are accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Wonder Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 Yeah, just to able to analyze the extent of her international success. Just based on what's confirmed, subtracting her stateside sales, you get 79,376,395 = 42,965,519 (albums) + 36,410,876 (singles) for international sales. Stateside: 36,410,876 (albums) + 18,707,729 (singles) = 55,118,605 I'll give you the estimated total once I get back from work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Wonder Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 79 million is huge. She's wasn't exactly gigantic in any one market for that to make sense. That's because people keep going off those dated certifications. If she's under certified in the US, common sense would tell people she's under certified EVERYWHERE.
