ASK BILLBOARD:
With Jennifer Lopez rumored to be in the mix to return as an "American Idol" judge, and her currently rising to No. 26 on Pop Songs with "Live It Up," featuring Pitbull, let's rank her top-selling albums in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan:

3.8 million, "J.Lo" (2001)
2.8 million, "On the 6" (1999)
2.6 million, "This Is Me…Then" (2003)
1.5 million, "J to the L-O! The Remixes" (2002)
744,000, "Rebirth" (2005)
342,000, "Love" (2011)
213,000, "Como Ama Una Mujer" (2007)
168,000, "Brave" (2007)

Lopez's career U.S. album sales stand at 12.4 million.

As for her song sales? "Live It Up" has sold 190,000 downloads, while 2011's "On the Floor," also featuring Pitbull, is her best-selling digital song, having sold 3.8 million.

Here are her five best-selling downloads (keeping in mind that several of her hits were released before the digital era):

3.8 million, "On the Floor" (featuring Pitbull)
1.2 million, "Dance Again" (featuring Pitbull)
692,000, "Get Right"
601,000, "I'm Into You" (featuring Lil Wayne)
538,000, "Do It Well"

-------------------------

"If You Had My Love" also sold over a million physical singles as well.

I thought Rebirth was at a million

Do It Well should have sold more

so Brave sold 2k in two years and Rebirth 4k

But great sales overall.

I'm not hating on J Lo here/not pressed/not going off-topic, but for all the impact and iconicness ATRL says she has, shouldn't she have sold more (in the US since those are US numbers)? I mean, in the US, Adele has sold around the same amount in less than 5 years and Taylor Swift has sold 22 million with less albums...

Her post-2003 sales.

I didn't know Dance Again was platinum.

I wish her album sales would pick up

Love? deserves more

Well this is a bit embarrassing....***runs out of thread****

Umm what happened after 2003?

Ouch
What happened that killed her sales

Ben Jennifer imploded.

THe hive lurked in threads to throw shade. JLO's impact.

Oversaturation. Ben Jennifer

744,000, "Rebirth" (2005)
342,000, "Love" (2011)
213,000, "Como Ama Una Mujer" (2007)
168,000, "Brave" (2007)


i see lies have been told .

She is on par with the rest of her pop peers from the late 90s early 00s besides Britney who was just a huge seller like Adele and Taylor.

Britney 30 million +
Christina 18 million
Alicia Keys 17 million
P!nk 15 million
Beyonce 12 million
Avril 12 million
Kelly Clarkson 12 million
Shakira 10 million

She is iconic but music isn't her only outlet. And most of her sales come from outside the US. For instance Rebirth sold close to 3mil WW while it sold a low 700k in US.

Plus people always fail to notice that she is well over a decade older than all pop girls who emerged from the late 90's. Her music success is quite impressive for someone who showed up late to the game. By the time Rebirth was released she was already 36. With Love? she was 41, even with OTF smashing digitally radio gave her no support for months. I'm surprised "I'm Into You" is even at 600k seeing as how it was completely overshadowed by OTF plus it received minimal radio support and no promo. And without radio support how do you expect her albums to sell. She could've gone gold with Love? which is great for someone like Jlo.

he was talking about albums and so I posted US album sales...
