Music Week wrote:It’s also a good week for Alicia Keys. Her first number one album, The Element Of Freedom, slips 19-21 - its lowest chart position for 19 weeks - but passes the 600,000 sales mark, with 9,839 buyers last week taking its 22-week tally to 601,924.

Meanwhile, Keys first three albums - Songs In A Minor, The Diary Of Alicia Keys and As I Am – have been bundled together as The Platinum Collection, and sell 10,339 copies to debut at number 20. They have sold over 2m copies separately, with Songs In A Minor accounting for 1,092,639 of that total.

IT WAS NOT ME :lol:

thanx to Chad D 8-)

these sales are just SOUNDSCAN ONLY.
with BMG MUSIC CLUB SALES her debut EASILY MUST HAVE PASSED 7M UNITS!
and as Alicia's discography ain't so massive i bet US retailers do stock quite enough copies of all of her albums

EACH OF HER ALBUMS IS PROBABLY ELIGIBLE FOR one-unit HIGHER CERTIFICATION (excluding TEOF)

I don't know if Beyonce can be considered as black, but if yes, than it would be her...
I'm sure, even if Alicia is successful, Beyonce sold more.

From My view...

Song In A Minor= 12,700,000
The Diary of Alicia Keys= 9,100,000
Unplugged= 2,700,000
As I Am= 6,200,000
The Element of Freedom= 4,000,000

Total= 34,700,000 (35 Million Shipped)

Can someone please post her digital single sales????????????? Ive been waiting for them for forever.

by **tada** » Thu Aug 11, 2011 9:12 pm

i still consider making a real charts and sales history topic for Alicia, yet we already have this and more topics, so i don't know. Soon I'll be busy and won't have time for what I would like to do, so.... :-?

Alicia deserves to have appropriate chart-pillar with all the data and sales.

by **TIfan** » Thu Aug 11, 2011 9:19 pm

Here are my European predictions...

SIAM= 3,800,000
TDOA= 2,900,000
U= 750,000
AIA= 1,400,000
TEOF= 1,800,000

Total= 10,650,000 album sold in Europe

Any other prediction???

With only 5 albums, she is around the same amount as Janet Jackson

by **TIfan** » Thu Aug 11, 2011 9:26 pm

I know that "No One" and "ESOM" equal out to 8 million alone.

i tend to agree with your sales, they sound very reasonable. Maybe TEF shipped slightly more, but 4M units defo seem to be in tolerated interval 8-)

unfortunately we got just few digital info. "No One" should be around 3,55M units, or even more.... then we know some data from september 2010
"Fallin'" 650k, so now defo over 700k at least
"Like You'll Never See Me Again" 550k

my estimation:
"Un-Thinkabke" and "Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart" both should be at least 700k as well, if not more.

"Empire State Of Mind Part 2" should be close to 500k, more conservatively around 400-450k

"Doesn't Mean Anything" around 350-400k

by **TIfan** » Thu Aug 11, 2011 9:56 pm

Taking a guess she should be over 15 million digital singles if you include her features (ESOM, MB, GL ect.)

all her first three studio albums are undercertified by one platinum certification, SIAM sold 1M units under BMG club, for instance.

by **TIfan** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 6:35 pm

I would rather have her where she is then be overcertified like Shania, Whitney ect...
