YOU KNOW THIS! I'm sure they can attribute at the very least HALF of those sales to "My Heart Will Go On." Even urban radio was bumping it.

I can imagine the album charts in the 90's
#1 700-800K
#2 600-700k
even the number 40 would be above 100K
That's why album sales are irrelevant nowadays

Britney has sold way more than just 100 million records. Her album sales alone are around 80 million.

She's done just under that in the U.S alone. WW, she's at 3mil+, which isn't bad at all.
She's 2x Platinum in Australia.

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
