I just updated my post with a source. There are many of them online.
Yeah, that's altogether. X&Y also held title for most downloaded album prior to VLV, with digital album sales under 300k. By 2009 (date of your source) that number grew + VLV's digital success for a combined total of what is listed in your source.
Recovery, The 20/20 Experience, and 21
+ Beyonce obviously!
