And I really doubt that Brave, Love? CAUM an Dance Again the Hits shipped 15 million! That’s a HUGE AMOUNT for a set of albums that barely even sold 5 million between them all.
Anyway, if we are estimating this many shipments for J.Lo, why can't we estimate the same for the other girls you said she's outsold?

Her first 2 STUDIO ALBUMS SOLD/SHIPPED AROUND 20 million combined.
On the 6 sales/shipped 8 million
JLo sales/shipped 8-10 million (including re-release)
J Lo the remixes 3.5-4 million sales/shipped
This is me then 6.5-7 million sales/shipped.
So thats over 10 million combined
So now we are around 30 million.
Rebirth 3-4 million sales/shipped im guessing it was very over shipped it sold over 1 million in its 3rd week worldwide
week 1-69,000
Week 2- 624,700
Week 3-336,440
week 4-268,400
Week 5-230,500
Week 6-176,330
Week 7-130,300
Week 8-121,700
Week 9-70,600
week 10-57,260
Week 11-53,000
Week 12-47,900
Week 13-out
so thats nearly 2.2 million there alone
and it just didnt just stop selling its reported 47,000 it was tracked and then nothing it could of done 30-40,00 for a few weeks after it fell out the UWC
So now were at 35 million albums
And including love?brave,the reel me,CAUM,A.K.A, and Dance again thats around 6-5 million sales/shipped.
Thats based on certs and reported sales.
So thats over 40 million reported.
Shes still has sales that dont get reported
And her music back logs etc and UN reported shipments, fan club sales etc and she has out dated sales that aint been updated
so why is it so hard to believe she actually has sold/shipped over 50 million
Im not been deluded im going buy whats out there.

I’m not sure if you see what you’re doing here. You’ve overestimating at every possible opportunity.
I’ll give J.Lo the benefit of the doubt for her first few albums even if you’re just estimating how much it sold/shipped without having actual numbers. As for Rebirth, how did it sell 3-4 million when it’s only sold 745,000 in the US? And how did the five albums you mentioned (Brave, Love? The Reel Me, CAUM and AKA) sell 6-5 million when none of them sold over a million WW?
But okay let’s assume ALL this is true. Then you claim that she’s at 40 million, and that she has had 10 million in outdated and backlog sales? Ya right.
Like I said, if we are going to afford J.Lo the luxury of over-inflating, then we should do it with Rihanna, Beyoncé, Gaga, etc. too.

You sound angry JENNIFER has said she has sold over 50 million albums and over 80 million records HER SELF and il take her word over reported stats any day.
Love? 1.4 millin
CAUM 1.3 millon
Brave 800,000
The reel me 600,000
Dance again the hits 560,000
A.K.A 200,000
Thats just of reported sales u do the maths
And my estimations were roughly estimations that are around OLD reported sales.

She's not a serious musician. She does it because it's another source of revenue, i'm sure she loves to dance as well. Most people don't even consider her a real singer, just an actress turned performer.

She plays ALOT on the radio and she is very relevant as a celebrity. Booty was a hit and so was her movies these few past years. She is a HUGE celebrity with one of the highest grossing fragrances ever, hit movies, hit singles and albums, and people still check for her because she is a fashion icon.

Booty wasn't no hit. It flopped with Pitbull and Iggy.

Jlo's music is not just as successful and as interesting as other pop girls. Needless to say, he flopping musically is not really a big deal because that's not her main and only venture, she is an actress, a business woman and a fashion icon.

Well, I think of her as a singer first and foremost, but I get she sees herself as a brand, which I guess she is. She really doesn't need music, she shouldn't be expected to sell loads now (ageism, plus it's declined in quality).
