looking at those sale, how da hell can these press releases claim that an artist like beyonce has sold close to 100 million records?

They must be counting all the records she recorded with Destiny's Child. More than half of Beyonce's overall record sales belong to DC.

These may be only US sales? Or, as is the case w/Elvis "records" include singles.

if thats the case shouldnt all of destiny childs albums be on the best sellers list,what did that group have like 3 or 4 albums, then you add her 2 solo albums, i think mathew's math is kinda off.

I have some of those, but honestly in this decade, a lot of albums I really liked are not even included in this list. Such as Aaliyah, Brandy-Full Moon, and the Janet, Michael and Madonna ones.

Arguments aside, when was the last 10 million selling album made (unless you count Supernaturals sales figures in 99 and 00). I am thinking maybe its Shania Twains, come on over with 14,000,000 reputed sales and the 1995 hit Alanis Morrisettes Jagged little pill which reutedley shipped 15 mil.
Then again what wuld be 20 mil, Boyz II Men II or Michael Jacksons Dangerous back in 91/92
17 Years ago I made a commitment to Prince
