Cher has so many uncertified albums that probably sold between 200,000-450,000 copies that I bet if all that was factored in, she's probably around 20-25 million in America

I love Cher!! She is amazing, regardless of sales. But many would question why her record sales (in the USA mostly) are so low. She has had fantastic longevity and I put her sales down to the fact that she likes touring so much

Thanks, thebigham, for this new thread!

I think a main problem is that Cher was never really taken seriously until around the time of Believe. That was when people started to realize how long she's been around and what a survivor she was and how many classics she's had.

She was taken seriously a bit in the late 80's/early 90's too but then the infomercials set her career back 20 years, but since Believe, I think she's gotten her respect as a veteran.

Cher has not sold 100m albums, half of that will be more realistic.

AP always report figures without checking them, they even reported that Jackson sold over 100 million records in Japan alone.

**brunosilva** · Sat February 9, 2008, 19:09

In other articles about the same thing they talk about 100 million records not only albums.

**jcguzman** · Sat February 9, 2008, 21:26

Believe the album peaked at number 2 in Spain and spent 49 weeks in the charts.

The single helped the cause reaching the number 1 spot for 7 weks in 1998.Dove L Amore was 4 in Spain and Strong Enough 6.

I might think Beleive is her biggest single and album worldwide.

I agree - the single and album surely must be her biggest sellers to date.

She was very much an average album seller around the world, considering the length of her career. But you have to take into account that the biggest-selling 60's albums were selling the same as what an album sells nowadays (2-5m per year). Her sales picked up a lot in the 80's, and stayed steady through the 90's, until she reached 1998, when she reached her commercial peak with the globally successful, hit-making machine known as Believe. The album topped loads of charts around the world, gave Cher her biggest hit ever (the 6m+ selling Believe) and reminded people of what made her a legend. I think its also worth noting that Cher has grossed over $570m in her career through tour ticket sales alone. By far and away, she is probably the richest female singer of her generation

Some of those figures - no all of them - are ridiculous

**jayrock** · Sat March 13, 2010, 23:41

the single of 'Believe' went on to sell more than 12 million copies world wide.

**Wayne** · Sun March 14, 2010, 11:58

**jayrock** · Sun March 14, 2010, 17:36

yes, of course 5x Platinum certification ain't true, according to this page it sold 1,71M copies making it eligible for 3x Platinum but with downloads it could be of course more
