Note : Many sales of old French artist like Claude François, Dalida, George Brassens and others are unknow. The same for Beatles' sales. With their 3 greatest hits only, the blue, the red and One, they sold a little less than 6 millions. But no one of their studios albums have certifications (total certification of 2.5m only) and no one reliable number is know too.

Wonderful thread! By the way, can I have Mariah's certifications before 1994? I know that "Mariah Carey" was Gold and I believe some of her singles were certified at least Silver 
or they got close to that...
If you have more of her stats, please tell me!
btw, this 445k figure for Rainbow, is official?
I never tought it had passed 400k

Sorry but "Mariah Carey" receive any certification. No one single/album of Mariah Carey receive certification before 94.AutomaticBR wrote:Wonderful thread!

You have all his certifications here : http://www.chartsinfrance.net/chiffres-artiste-199.htm
Her first success in France are Music Box singles : Without You #9 of 1994, Hero #21 and Endloss Love #69 of 1994/#97 of 1995. Music Box hit #1 in album charts with 42 weeks in the top 10.
Concerning to 445.000 figure for Rainbow, it is not a "official" number but you can take it in account like one of them. Rainbow is charted #25 of 1999 and #67 of 2000. In Fan of Music website you can look year end charts with estimate sales, estimation do with official numbers give by SNEP (global sales, certifications etc..). You can have more confidence in those numbers that in certifications of SNEP website !
Only one example : Charmbracelet go Gold at the end of 2003, her sales are around 250.000, over 200k month and month before her certification at 100k...
All Mariah Carey albums chart runs since 1997 are here : http://fanofmusic.free.fr/Site-Charts-ParcoursAlbum-M.htm
Thanks to you, whyme & Fedepeti to your congratulatons
If you want other informations, ask me for what you want know and if I have the answer, I will respond you without any doubt !

We can add The Emancipation of Mimi is around 25.000 sales in France with this chartrun :
04-09-14
It's the best chartrun she has in Europe with her brand new album .
She sold 11 000 albums in one week , then she sold 9 000 albums in the second week and 5 000 albums were sold last week .

I tought "Mariah Carey" was Gold cuz I always saw this:
Álbum “Mariah Carey” #17 140.000 ccopies
Álbum “Emotions” #38 100.000 copies (Gold)
Álbum “MTV Unplugged” #11 195.000 copies (Gold)
Álbum “Music Box” #1(4) 1.200.000 copies (Diamond)
Álbum “Merry Christmas” #21 51.000 copies
Álbum “Daydream” #2 610.000 copies (2x Platinum)
Álbum “Butterfly” #6 275.000 copies (2x Gold)
Álbum “#1’s” #2 680.000 copies (2x Platinum)
Álbum “Rainbow” #1 360.000 copies (Platinum)
Álbum “Glitter” #5 160.000 copies (Gold)
Álbum “Greatest hits” #24 100.000 copies (Gold)
Álbum “Charmbracelet” #12 280.000 copies (Gold)
Álbum “The Remixes” #60 -
I Didn't found the 2x Gold certification for "MTV Unplugged" at the SNEP website Also, it's weird that Universal France reported that her album was certified Gold a few weeks after the release date, and then the website shows the end of 2003, weird
Also, for her singles, I tought that maybe "I'll be there" was silve, cuz that one was #16, or "Vision of love" wich was #25.
Don't you think it's kinda too hight that "Emotions" sold 150k and "Mariah Carey" only 100k, since "Mariah Carey" had a better chart positions than "Emotions", her second album?
And one more thing (sorry to bother you
) do you have any idea of the sales of Jewel, Vanessa-Mae and The Cardigans in France? they didn't had much success I guess also, Björk's first 3 releases (Debut, Post and Telegram), I never found anything about them

I used to think myself is it too bother to say "thank you" in this thread, as it seems like a retards to your useful information. But I decided to write here, "Well done, and impressive work!" You have me well educated about France music sales. Remember one year ago, there's no topics about France music sales all whole the internet, and I lucky got helped from local france music fan, he sent me those Gold & Platinum certifications before 1994, and I was surprised, and done quickly the statistics for artists and already posted in "Chart Forum Refugees" and no one seemed to treated them as a "source" and said "fake information", and now I can find soul-mate here and also in "Chartsinfrance".

Hi, MJDangerous, seems like you know something about "Music Box", do you have chart run of "Music Box" and all other Mariah Carey's chart run before 1996?MJDangerous wrote:Music Box hit #1 in album charts with 42 weeks in the top 10.
And, if possible, post Whitney Houston's chart run, too.
Thanks in advance.
