Calm Like A Bomb Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 I never take notice of these things because they end up making albums look like failures. The Titanic and Dirty Dancing soundtracks each sold 11 million and the movies were fucking awful, where as Revolver sold 5 million Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeppelin Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Makes sense, its a great album by a great band.Unfortunately, that reason doesn't explain why the Backstreet Boys have sold only one million less than Appetite with their self-titled album on that chart.

I guess the Backstreet Boys have just apeeled to a bigger crowd, its kids music that teenage girls also listened to, whatever. Its still safe to say GNR were great rock1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some albums have yet to be re-certified again, thus making their current certification outdated."The 15x platinum Appetite For Destruction certification is outdated. It hasn't been certified 18x platinum yet, but it needs to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How Garth Brooks has four albums with over ten million copies sold. Thats fucking nuts!I guess there's a lot of country fans.Rock On TbizzleHey now. Garth Brooks is one of the few Country acts I genuinely enjoy. Edited August 28, 2006 by Mav23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootingstar Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 (edited) I read somewhere that AFD is still selling 250,000 copies a year. It might have been on the Wiki page. Rock ON TbizzleYeah, I think it was actually Adler who said that in an interview..I research and the total sale for AFD is 25 000 000 copies.. hereAnd on 96th place you find UYI II!! with 15 million copysThis is interesting. On wikipedia. "Both Use Your Illusion albums are certified by the RIAA as 7x platinum, with SoundScan sales of 5,355,985 and 5,435,447. This is because they were released, sold, and charted in 1991, 1992 and 1993. At that time, SoundScan only tracked 40-50% of actual sales. Therefore, both Use Your Illusion albums have sold near or over that 7 million shipment figure." Edited August 28, 2006 by shootingstar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
