Did Diamonds & Pearls (album) sell more than Michael Jackson's "Dangerous"?

I read an article that Prince's smash hit album "Diamonds & Pearls" sold more copies than Michael Jackson's "Dangerous" and Madonna's "Erotica" in 1991-1992.Somehow I don't think this is true. Isn't Michael's "Dangerous" album one of the biggest sellest albums of all time?

It didn't sell more than Michael Jackson's DANGEROUS, but it did sell more than Madonna's EROTICA.

But Diamonds & Pearls is Prince's second biggest selling album behind Purple Rain of course.

Purple Rain did sell more than Michael Jackson's Off The Wall, BAD & Dangerous, History albums in the U.S. alone though.

DANGEROUS world wide sales: Over 35 Million

DANGEROUS U.S. sales: 7 million

----------------------------

EROTICA world wide sales: 6 million

EROTICA U.S. sales: 2 million

-----------------------------

DIAMONDS & PEARLS world wide sales: Over 6.7 million (to date)

DIAMONDS & PEARLS U.S. sales: Over 2.3 million (to date)
