The mediatraffic figure for GGGB (7,5 million) has been confirmed by the IFPI04wayne wrote:Btw, your world sales look pretty decent to me! I'd give her this:
Music of The Sun- 1+ million
A Girl Like Me- 3 million
Good Girl Gone Bad- 6.5+ million
Well I tend to trust the IFPI, plus I think the figure has been confirmed by her label... I guess she must be undercertified, I don't have a breakdown but my guess would be ~3m in North America, ~3,3m in Europe and ~1,2m in the rest of the world ?04wayne wrote:Break it down though - where exactly has the other milli come from?
Urgh, I hate IFPI

for one time seems that the data isn't inflated.
Umbrella wasn't as big in the US as in the UK, but it's still her biggest hit in the US, if it had been released in 2008 it would have sold more than Disturbia.UKMusicLova wrote:Shocked that "Disturbia" sold more than "Umbrella" in the US!![]()

But maybe the "Umbrella" phenomenon was a more UK thing!![]()
It's amazing how much she's accomplished in her short career!
I doubt it will, GGGB will probs be her biggest selling album, she'll struggle to outsell this I think the success was amazingcesarc1989 wrote:great figures, i hope her next album will sell at least the same amount of copies GGGB sold.

mariah wont do beyonce or rihanna numbers her last album struggled 2 go platinum i can't see mariah doing 4mil world wideranjeetmore wrote:her tremendous single sales hardly matter.
a single sells for around a dollar while an album sells for around 13.
this is why,mariah carey is consdired above her and given more priority than Rihanna.
While Rihanna and Beyonce had to struggle(by that i mean release a slew of hits) to get a 2xP certification,i think two hits off MOAIA should do the trick and perhaps even a 3xp cert. Mariah is an institution.Even Whitney's I look to you,the album,will be favoured thus.
Come August 25th, you are going to feel very silly for saying this. 3xP for Mariah?ranjeetmore wrote:her tremendous single sales hardly matter.
