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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cnd Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 How did you find this? I was searching all over the ARIA site for about an hour looking for her certifications. Pre-1997 certifications are extremely difficult to track down online. I hate that you can only search ARIA's database from 1997 and onwards (they've been promising for years to rectify this and make their complete archives accessible ) Singles | Albums (scroll all the way towards the end) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

France was like the hardest because of the changing sales levels, plus I'm a little rusty on my French so I had to translate. There's also the fact that every Janet album pre-DJ is under certified, so there's no way of getting an accurate figure for her in any country.

Hell, they haven't even certified Control here yet and I refuse to believe it hasn't at least gone platinum after all these years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Control has at least gone platinum. It's worth it, though. This thread is great. And quite a few of the singles from Control and RN remain uncertified as well. Oh, I forgot to add Feel It Boy, that went gold as well in Australia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Wonder Posted September 14, 2011 Author Share Posted September 14, 2011 Japan This is all I could find. It reads: "Janet In Japan: Pony Canyon Inc. president Akira Ljichi, right, awards Janet Jackson a platinum disk for her album "Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814," which sold more than 400,000 copies in Japan. The presentation took place backstage at the Tokyo Dome, where Jackson was performing her first concert in that country." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you say that's a good estimate considering it's peak? Added. Back then with a #6 peak it would've definitely gone gold (and gold was 50,000 units at the time, too).
