Doesn't Really Matter - 600k + 252,000 = 852,000

*AFY sold/shipped 500k according to Billboard but never certified

Do you also have physical sales of Someone To Call My Lover? Last I remember it sold about 250,000 copies.

[thebigham]

Sorry about "Someone." Editing error. Added to the original post.

[Choley]

Do you also have physical sales of Someone To Call My Lover? Last I remember it sold about 250,000 copies.

200k for physical copies for Someone so 200k +262k = 462,000

[Choley]

Also according to chartsinfrance Come back to me physical sales were 440k, so 440k + 254k = 694,000

200k for physical copies for Someone so 200k +262k = 462,000

Nice. Small chance this COULD be Gold depending on how many copies were shipped. I always try to factor in stores that were not covered by Sound Scan.

[red3269]

So All For You era (w/ sps)
-3.7M albums
-3M singles
-6.7M records sold in the US

[lovedeluxe]

"Call on Me" was the #8 best-selling physical single of 2006. https://worldradiohistory.com/Archiv...2006-12-23.pdf

Anyone have any idea on how much any of the singles on the year-end list sold? COM is at 300k+ SPS. Curious if it sold at least 200k physical.

Anyone have any idea on how much any of the singles on the year-end list sold? COM is at 300k+ SPS. Curious if it sold at least 200k physical.

Nope, physical single sales were very low.Here are the sales

1. Taylor Hicks - Do I Make You Proud - 458,000
2. Katharine Mcphee - Somewhere Over The Rainbow - 158,000
3. Nine Inch Nails - Everyday Is Exactly The Same - 52,000
4. Sister Feat. Bun B - Scoundrel Squad - 46,000
5. Cassie - Me & U - 46,000
6. Janet & Nelly - Call On Me - 44,000
7. Beyonce - Check On It - 41,000
8. Beyonce - Deja Vu - 39,000
9. Nelly Furtado - Promiscuous - 34,000
10. Elvis Presley - Heartbreak Hotel: 50th Anniversary - 32,000

Latest physical sales figures for Call On Me is 60k

[lovedeluxe]

Well, that won't be gold anytime soon, but also shocked that it has done better than songs like "Doesn't Really Matter" and "Someone to Call My Lover".

I know I said this before, but so crazy to see how many certifications she's due without VEVO/YouTube streams for almost all of her music videos.

Her team failed on not fixing that sooner. AFY, Any Time, Any Place would probably already be platinum just from SPS.

[red3269]

You think All For You (album) has a good chance to cross the 4x platinum mark in the next year or two? It is at 3.7M sps + BMG sales.

This is just for the US singles sales year-end in the US but it didn't make Billboard's Hot 100 Year-End at all (only reached number 25 and then dropped off rapidly after that) and was only #22 on the R&B Year-End of 2006. Doubt it's sold much after its peak. And outside her base, how many people actually remember it?

Doubt it's sold much after its peak. And outside her base, how many people actually remember it?

You're right that it wasn't that successful in the US back then but it's been among her most popular songs on Spotify for a long time!

It's also one of her biggest hits in some markets like Brazil where the video received a lot of airplay and South Korea, where its actually her top streamed song on the Korean streaming platform Melon with +3.4M streams.

[thebigham]

The Damita Jo album...

All Nite (Don't Stop): 246,000
I Want You: 63,000
Just A Little While: 44,000

These 3 songs have a Sales Plus Streaming total of 353,000

[lovedeluxe]

246k... for a song that STILL doesn't have a video on VEVO and suffered from a radio and MTV/VH-1 ban back in 2004, that's really not that bad.

[Instinct]

All Nite is my most played Janet song by a long shot. It deserved to be the lead!

[lovedeluxe]

I agree. It's one of my favorite singles. Probably would have been a top 5 hit if not #1 hit if the SB played out differently.

[red3269]

So Damita Jo era
-1.1M albums (w/ sps)
-1.3M singles (I Want You certified 1x plat by RIAA for physicals)
-2.4M records sold in the US

[thebigham]

The 20 Y.O. album...

Call One Me 307,000
So Excited 216,000

Sales Plus Streaming: 523,000
