Yeah, those are worldwide figures, i wasn't too sure about CD, Title: Re: GNR Albums sold? Post by: ROACHVILLE on February 22, 2009, 03:42:20 PM I'm looking for total sales Worldwide of each Official Release, so cassette, Album, CD, Even Full Downloads.
The reason I'm asking there is a list of top selling Artists floating around and GNR is listed as selling 93 Million units Worldwide. But i couldn't figure out how they came to that Number. Also, I wasn't forgetting about Chinese Democracy... the sales figure was from 1987 to December 2007. Title: Re: GNR Albums sold?
