ludurigan Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 (edited) article states that "In terms of downloads, songs from 1987 album Appetite For Destruction alone total almost 20 million units sold", which is equivalent to 2 million albums sold! source = http://chartmasters.org/2016/06/cspc-guns-n-roses-popularity-analysis/10/ CSPC: Guns N’ Roses Popularity Analysis Digital Singles Sales One wouldn’t expect much from the digital singles sector for a band that has such a tiny catalog – only 76 songs available for streaming everything considered – and had its last hit in the first half of the 90s. This would be a huge mistake since Guns N’ Roses hits are absolute monsters in the digital world. In terms of downloads, songs from their 1987 album Appetite For Destruction alone total almost 20 million units sold, a terrific achievement. While this is easily their best effort, later singles are also very good sellers in downloads platforms. As a reminder, the weighting is done with a 10 to 1 ratio between one album and one digital single.
