It's a pretty fantastic resource for numbers though. There are a lot of posters there who've spent a lot of time tracking/analyzing this stuff, though there's always going to be room for error when it comes to worldwide figures.

ke$ha is still easily RCA's best promoted artist. She is just a digital seller, reviews didn't help her either.

Katy Perry
One Of The Boys - 2,800,000
Teenage Dream - 3,377,000
(Note: I've also seen 5 mil. for each album claimed, which probably includes other countries that aren't included in certain but I highly doubts it's that high.)
And just for the fun of it:
Shania Twain
Shania Twain - 2,000,000
The Woman In Me - 16,000,000
Come On Over - 40,000,000
Up! - 20,000,000
Greatest Hits - 8,000,000

The sheer amount of dedication and interest in numbers is frightening and incredible in that forum. I think one member (Zeus555) has been tracking Abba's sales for 10 years.

I've tried 2 calculators

Who said she sold 100 million albums? She's sold close to, if not more than 70 million albums WW. She has most definitely sold over 100 million records worldwide, seeing as she has sold 70 million records in the US alone.
