All sales reflect US numbers only; worldwide sales are estimated at more than ninety million.

RIAA certifications are based on storewide shipments only. Some albums have yet to be re-certified again, thus making their current certification outdated.

Since most musicians make more money off of touring and merch sales, album sales are not an indicator of musicans wealth, espicially since label give them an advance (loan) to pay for the studio time to pay for the recording, mastering, pressing, and etc. It also depends on the songwriting credits and percentages on the sales that a band get.
