I'm Breathless at 12.5 million? That's an error.

Thats CPSC units not pure sales

WBR said 5.4 million in Sept. 1997.

Re: Madonna :: Charts & Sales History

Grammy: 23 millions for true blue

[RayRay]

BTW speaking of Chartmasters. I find it amazing and atonishing that Madonna has 9 albums / eras with over 10million CSPC units:

Madonna - 18,5m
Like a Virgin - 39,6m
True Blue - 36,6m
Like a Prayer - 25,4m
I'm Breatheless - 12,5m
Bedtime Stories - 11,7m
Ray of light - 21,2m
Music - 13,7m
Confessions on a dancefloor - 12,4m

No other female comes close to her.

Queen of Pop

[Westen]

obviously all of this sided by some mods

Don't snipe, it's really annoying.

And this kind of behavior from other stan base is not?

[trebor]

ORDER please!
Please let go of the current MJD/ChartMasters quarrels; behave and steer back to a civilized discussion.

[BodyShop]

Apparently this will keep going forever
Can't those who think MJD,Chartmasters or whatever is a crazy lunatic just let those who chose to 'believe' in his figures be?

Like spiritboy said:

If you don't believe those estimations, fine. If people believing ChartMasters irritate you that much, why bother to check this thread? Or simply ignore people who discuss MJD figures.

What an endless drama,Jeez!

[melodious]

True Blue CSPC include SALES from compilations, can you read this, for godsake? It generated 10 million sales from compilations alone! You're complaining his figure, yet you don't even bother to understand his methodology.

L O L.........

Yeah, such a MATURE conversation.
Now, let's move on, Janet stan!

[spiritboy]

also, 37 million CSPC figure at chartmasters includes sales from compilations such as TIC and GHv2. That's why it looks bigger.
Madonna is a MONSTER seller of compilations!

MTV reports 25 million as of 2012. http://www.mtv.com/news/1682061/madonna ... billboard/

The sales + certification's I've found only total up to 15,934,000. I don't doubt it's higher than that.... but by 22 million units? lol

Not sure how CSPC will add another 15-22 million to an album that has yet to scan 1 million with CSPC figures added in the US alone

It's not a divas vs divas situation. It's that his website is terribly wrong so STOP using it as a possible source is my point. Not sure why people get so defensive as if ChartMasters is fact. lol So weird.

How about you STOP these discussions if you don't believe ChartMasters estimations? You are clearly trolling. If you don't believe those estimations, fine. If people believing ChartMasters irritate you that much, why bother to check this thread? Or simply ignore people who discuss MJD figures.

These crybaby Janet stans need to stop spreading propaganda against ChartMasters, it's becoming annoying LOL. Don't complain about him in this very Madonna thread.

and let's not pretend that he's favoring Madonna when CLEARLY he's NOT!
MJD has True Blue at 22 million sales, while Warner Italy confirms 24 million figure long long time ago. Wikipedia claims 25 million.
MJD has The Immaculate Collection at 28 million, while Music Week reported the sales of 30 million in an article about Madonna leaving Warner back in 2007.

Britney Oops I Did it Again has been reported with 20 million sales very long long time ago (including by Britney website and Jive), yet he put this album at 18 million, and I don't see Britney fans cry everywhere.

LET people believe in what they choose to believe. We ARE very aware that his work is an "estimations", not "official" source. We GET it. Just don't repeat asking it over and over again like a broken tape.

[stollar]

You divas sure are a funny bunch.

Re: Madonna :: Charts & Sales History

People have the freedom to believe in whatever they want. Why does it bother people that some Madonna fans choose to believe MJD guy?

Having said that, i don't know if it is right to add SPS numbers to the album sales, especially the ones released 30 years ago.

[lovedeluxe]

At least the ChartMasters guy tries to help people out with his figures, estimations and knowledge. Some people here keep bragging about having official numbers but are too selfish and biased to share. You all say he's rude but showing off and not sharing isn't exactly the nicest of acts.

Exactly, spot on

Anyways I hope these Janet stans stop coming to have MJD and chartmasters rants here, its tiring. We're entilted to like his numbers.

We want to see Madonna in this thread, not some weird rant about chartmasters.

Liking something doesn't make his information factual. That's the difference.

Have a great day!

What I always find funny and weird is that most Madonna fans never complain about chartmasters or MJD and most seem to be ok with his numbers . . . . yet other people who are not Madonna fans always come to Madonna's threads to complain and have a MJD rant

Its like they can't see people happy and ok with numbers so they need to somehow ruin the party.

Indeed, we were discussing True Blue sales, and Janet stan, who for their own admission didn’t know a hell about M figures, still feel the need to take that as example to start the war against MJD, bringing up Janet number and starting the mess that nothing had to do with Madonna chart thread...... obviously all of this sided by some mods

It's not about Janet vs Madonna. You're making it into that.

It's just providing factual information for EVERYONE. If ChartMasters has wrong information. Stop using it and defending it. Fans shouldn't believe that it's real if it's wrong. Which is what I see a lot of. It's not JJ vs M. MC vs WH.

As some point you have to realize all of the divas are amazing and have done amazing things. Our small point is, focus on real information, not a random persons estimates that have been proven wrong.

Chart estimation are more than wellcome in a chart thread, of course they will never be 100% correct, but still have their point.
MJD is an undeniable great source about estimation, u can’t deny people to relate to them, if u don’t believe them u re free to ignore it, it’s simple as that..... I respect that!!

And for god sake, it’s not about Janet vs Madonna, we all know that, but it’s about u and your friend starting a mess that has nothing to do with MADONNA F....... THREAD....... can u get it?

@Nimpho It was not me , who started it all...... I was repeating how all was off topic...... U could stop it all at the beginning if u wanted to do it. Or u wanted to hear things from just one side? That is your side....

Actually you posted 8 times in the last 2 pages about this Chartmasters / MJD discussion, you took part in that “mess” actively... so don’t play the victim card now.
Next time, report the 1st off topic message and ignore it... Instead of replying over and over and then complain about the thread being a mess and off topic.

Anyway, I’ve had enough of MJD in this thread (or in this forum tbh), so stop going off topic. All of you. While I think it’s an interesting conversation, this is not the right place.
Back to Madonna.

[innocenteyes]

I didn't know it was the MJD thread. Was looking for Madonna's.

[loveylovey]

You have a point but how can we focus on real information if its not being shared
