US - 500,000

Aussie - 140,000

France - 250,000

Swiss - 25,000

Sweden - 10,000

Germany - 500,000

= 2,025,000

Based on the countries posted, and dated certifications. People keep saying TA did 1.3mil in the US and 760k in the UK, but I have yet to see the receipts.

How could it be possible that it only went Gold here, after all those weeks on the Hot 100?

She is shitting with those Hong Kong sales :asham:

Well I just need a receipt before it can be added. No doubt all of the singles have sold more than what they are certified for. It's just not easy finding numbers for them.

And these girls don't want a DAY with those record setting Hong Kong numbers.

It has sold more than that, but not every country as an RIAA equivalent. So finding numbers for each country ain't easy. -_-

There's no way of telling, at least right now that is. You're probably discussing this with a stupid person who bases sales figures off certifications. You can't based sales of certifications for everyone because, prime example, Janet, certifications are not up to date. You have to go off what the label claims. The whole "labels inflate figures" is complete bullshit to me until I hear a label rep admit that they inflate figures. That whole phrase is one of those "Tell a lie enough, and frequently enough, then it will be believed" stories. Sure you can base sales on certifications, but they don't really tell what an album sold EXACTLY. Similarly, I can't tell how much money you have in your bank account just by tracking your purchases. I can only tell you the MINIMUM amount of money you have based on your purchases. If a label claims an artist sold a certain amount of records, then that's what they sold. They're the ones who know. They're the ones selling the product, after all.

I estimate between 140 and 150 million records. ~100 million albums and 50 million singles, given that she's sold 25 million singles stateside. So about the same amount abroad.
