I thought Ray of Light was closer to 20 million and Madonna was more like 7-8 million.
Regardless, I'll probably copy this thread for Janet.

Between 15-17. It was a bit confusing. I found some sources that said 17 million.
The right number is never clear, 15-17 sounds right to me.

You Can Dance has sold over 5.5 million (not 5 million  ) and is rank as the 2nd most selling remix album ever. Behind Michael Jackson's Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory in the Mix (6 million).
I did the math and the sum of these numbers reach the famous Madonna's 200 million albums.

Madonna remains the only person that gives me absolute chills and awe. Hard working, smart, talented and an absolute legend. Madonna has always had her eye on the long-term prize, which is something a lot of these current girls don't think of. I think maybe Beyonce and GaGa have that...that idea of creating a legacy even more than generating current hits.
Bravo for this thread...sometimes the lessers let themselves forget

Not Madonna being in the industry for almost 3 decades & still setting records.
Not Madonna admitting she's not the best singer or dancer & still becomes Top Selling Female Artist of All time.
Not Madonna surpassing all of her female predecessors to become the World's Top Selling Female.
Not Madonna having the best solo tour for ANY artist of all time
A GODDAMN slay beyond proportions and sent from the Gawds.....

Who's That Girl is one of her biggest worldwide hits, and she hasn't perfomed it since 1987.
