Does 1 Million today equal about 3 Million back then...
It's no secret album sales have been in the pits the last few years. So would you say 1 million in album sales equals 3 million in 1999, 2000, 2001?

I think it's a fair estimate.

They need to cut down the prices for CDs so that more people would buy.

I would say thats more or less a fair estimate, especially when u take into consideration things like album leaks + the internet ( illegal downloading).

Labels do try to get over on consumers often.

Which proves that 1million isn't 3million back in the day.

I think it depends artist by artist though. I think certain genres of albums have been more effected by the digital age than others.

This. Some artists have bigger fan bases than others who actually support them.

21 is a rare case though
But maybe more albums could sell that way if album sales weren't down

If that's the case, then that would mean "21" was a bigger era than Michael Jackson's "Thriller".
