But sis, which one is it? You and your fellow Brit fan seem to have a difference of opinion on her sales.

I would say it's closer to 120 or right in the teens. But for the most part it's accurate. It seems that some of her sales have been shaved off though. This is often the case when one asks how much has one sold or how much has one shipped. Shipped/sold are the same thing, since shipped means that the record stores have purchased the albums to sell to the public. Sold however is the term used how many albums have been sold out to the public.



BOMT has been credited with over 25 million, OIDIA has also been credited with over 20 million, Britney has been credited with 12 million, In The Zone has shipped 8 million, Those other sales look correct for the most part though. I think Blackout sold around 2.2 million prior to it being out of the World Chart though which makes me think that it's total will be a bit higher.

The singles do look accurate though. Even though the sales for OIDIA look a little paltry. But that might be because the United World Chart is always iffy about their point/sales system.

UK Mix has the most accurate sales levels though, but even those seem kind of outdated sometimes.

I don't know who else will hit 100 million worldwide, and it's a tough stat to look at considering there is no official tabulation.

I'd say, however, that any artist who is not relatively close to breaking 100 million by this point, has a very slim chance considering how albums sell anymore...or don't....
