THANKIES for all these brilliant charts.

by **AutomaticBR** » Sun Jul 03, 2005 3:15 am

I have a question that may seem kinda stupid, but... this total sales for each year are the sales only for the titles that have charted in the Top 75/200 in those years or it counts even sales for albums that didn't charted?

Ex: Mariah Carey sold 260,000 albums in 1996. Her only album that charted this year was "Daydream", so those are the sales only for "Daydream" or includes the sales of her other albums that didn't charted in 1996? :roll:
