The REAL female MJ 
Does anyone know where to find Japan certifications?  I've been trying to find LAV, ROL, ad TB's certifications, but I can only find the ones post-American Life 
and didn't Celebration hit #1 in Japan?

Should I add a larger Mediatraffic receipts section, or no?

Kind of incredible, honestly, given that it's her biggest selling record. 
I kind of want an original-run copy for myself.

I know, it's crazy to think it's her best selling album. Considering how much GH albums usually flop.
My parents have an original-run copy of the album and the video album (on VHS).

I would like to see the tours section expanded as well. I can't find the old tour thread about Madonna grossing $1 billion off her tours.
Anyways, I'm glad to see this thread reopened!!!

well, albums sales are heavily inflated. The highest possible amount of albums shes sold (with both eyed closed) may total at 200,000,000.. certainly not the 218,000,000 stated on the first page. ROL and COADF are the most inflated.. COADF sold not more than 10m max and that is even questionable, while ROL tops out at 16m which also is the absolute maximum.
However, she is the only female artist and one of only a handful to actually sell 200m albums worldwide. 20 million more than Celine and 50m ahead of Mimo.

Is the 218 million albums inflation shade to another artist? I see you, Retro.

No one really comes to the Charts section. I think people only come to see chart positions
