Good! Btw, she plans to sing 'I Hope You Find It' and fly over the audience in the upcoming shows, it's such a cool moment and hope they decide to record the show for DVD!

Some were wondering if Love Hurts passed 1 million copies in the UK, and this July 1992 article from Music & Media, a reputable European music publication, says it did. Nice !

Does anyone know the true worldwide sales of Cher's 1987 self-titled album?
There is, sadly, no information but for the 2M copies WW. With 1M sold only in the USA.

I'm really curious what's the method to get the numbers of albums released 50, 40 years ago, but nonetheless interesting article:

The dramatic downloads and streams are worrying for the future, but at 71 we can’t expect Cher to be looking for a fresh new ground breaking hit. Her career is now mostly behind her. A career that adds for 72,4 million equivalent album sales. Way under the likes Madonna or Celine Dion, this is still a very healthy total, out of reach by many popular divas.

RECORDS & ACHIEVEMENTS

With 33 years, 7 months and 3 weeks between I Got You Babe and Believe, Cher has topped the US Hot 100 chart over the longest span ever, 8 years ahead of Michael Jackson.

Cher is the oldest artist to ever top the Hot 100, she was 52 when Believe went #1.

Believe is the most successful album ever of an artist over 50.

Cher is one of the few artists that won all main awards of the American culture industry – Oscar, Grammy, Emmy and Golden Globe.

[alfiebot]

According to the person who wrote the CM article this would be the breakdown of her total sales, which is very similar to the estimations by other people over the years:

53,500,000 albums
47,000,000 singles
2,000,000 videos
12,000,000 downloads
--------------------------------
114,500,000

[Wayne]

It's not 47m singles - it's considerably less than that. The 47m figure is equivalent sales.

[alfiebot]

Well, I think you're wrong, I will upload the sales of all the Cher / Sonny & Cher singles I have in my archive which somewhat matches with the response I got from the Chart Masters guy when I asked about the total sales .

[alfiebot]

Cher's estimated singles sales, both solo and with Sonny totals to more than 51 million, I will post the breakdown soon
