Close but not accurate. AFD had sold 15 Million copies by the year 1998 in the US alone. It's been 6 years since, so based on the fact that AFD sells an average between 5,000-7,000 copies a week, I'd assumed AFD has sold already around 16 1/2 million copies.

If ur going to pick up on others 'accuracy' you might want to start with your own - AFD was certified 15x platinum in 1999 : ok:
