Now imagine how many more units it would shift if it had at least two new songs on it?

Lol - according to that 'The Cheetah Girls' has been certified 61 times platinum

I think the accuracy of that site is to be doubted hihi

It is usually VERY accurate as it is the Billboard website. Obviously, they made some errors. I am sure it is only 2 million for greatest hits. There seems to be multiple typo's on that page!  Cheesy

in less than 3 month, mariah carey has already sold 9 million copies of her last album? Roll Eyes
That's weird... there should be a mistake somewhere.

I don't even know who they are - which is surprising considering in just a few years they have managed to achieve the highest selling album of all time..... rofl

The Mariah Carey figure is clearly wrong too - 9 million this year? Dream on....

GH has shifted no more than 2 million in the US, and this websites claims can safely be dismissed

It says shipped not sold. Isnt there is a difference? Shipped is how many albums sent out, sold is how many albums  people bought, no?

Yeah, there is a difference... but the figures are still wrong.  The Cheetah Girls haven't shipped 61,000,000 CDs.

Also for the GH figure to be right there would have to be about 3,000,000 copies floating around in the U.S. alone, and that's not possible considering its already been out for a year (aside from the fact that we KNOW it was just recently certified double-plat).

Sounds about right but as ever - source?

I'd imagine the figure is probably 2.5-3 million for units shipped - leaving about 500k to 1 million copies in shops/warehouses throughout the country

It's just a mistake by Billboard. On their top 100 albums chart-same website-it says certified double platinum by riaa. Indiana is probably getting his info from Soundscan which tracks actual sales. RIAA tracks shipments in the US. However, shipments are still sales to the record company because retailers have to buy the product from the record company. I wonder if the artist gets royalties as soon as the product is shipped? PILFERK-or would it be when the album actually sells at retail? Huh
