i don't think we will ever really know sales of musicology due to the dubya-like fudging of the numbers.
Space for sale...

true...I think I read that Billboard estimated that 25% of the sales were from the give aways...not to mention diehards who got the give away and bought the retail version...

At least as many copies as 3121. Check out the concerts (400.000 CD's), The newspaper thing (1 million+) and maybe some sales.
That's just Europe. What about the rest of the world (USA)?

take what into account?? that he gave a boatload of cds away...that can't count towrds sales...I mean really, most people will gladly accept a 1993 calendar if you're giving it away...

as far as im aware the sales figures for musicology are bullshit, for a start he gave away like 1.9 million, which at the time counted as a sale, and also sold around a further 1.7million..

thats just U.S. , the album also went top 3 in the Uk and did well elsewhere.

Also the figure for 3121 is only the US figure
