well, not quite. those are only the SoundScan figures of her ten highest-selling albums in the United States. for those who don't know, Neilsen SoundScan doesn't track sales that come from music clubs and a few other places. just through the BMG Music Club, she appears to have sold at least an additional 4,000,000 albums.
- All the Way... A Decade of Song - 1,110,000
- Let's Talk About Love - 1,100,000
- Falling into You - 987,000
- Celine Dion - 624,000
for the full list, see here:
http://www.mi2n.com/press.php3?press_nb=47877 (unfortunately, the list only includes the club's 100 highest-selling albums, so we don't know how many her others sold)
and those are only the additional sales of one club out of several.
the guy who runs
celinedioncharts.com, Bruno (who, from what I've seen based on his posts on UKmix, is a master when it comes to her sales figures), estimates each of her albums' sales in the States as the following:
Unison - 1,500,000
Dion chante Plamondon - 125,000
Celine Dion - 3,400,000
The Colour of My Love - 6,100,000
À L'Olympia - 10,000
D'eux - 250,000
Falling into You - 12,900,000
Live à Paris - 15,000
Let's Talk About Love - 11,500,000
S'il suffisait d'aimer - 115,000
These Are Special Times - 5,750,000
Au coeur du stade - 10,000
All the Way... A Decade of Song - 10,000,000
The Collector's Series, Volume One - 1,000,000
A New Day Has Come - 3,500,000
One Heart - 2,000,000
1 fille & 4 types - 25,000
A New Day... Live in Las Vegas - 550,000
Miracle - 1,100,000
On ne change pas - 10,000
D'elles - 10,000
Taking Chances - 1,060,000
My Love: Essential Collection - 450,000
Taking Chances World Tour: The Concert - 80,000
so, that adds up to an estimation of 61,460,000. as for single sales, he estimates that she has sold 12,340,000 in the United States.
if you'd rather just stick with the SoundScan figures though, then these are updated numbers that I found on Pulse:
Unison - 1,227,454
Celine Dion - 2,340,078
The Colour of My Love - 4,514,396
Falling Into You - 10,787,262
Let's Talk About Love - 9,546,136 (updated 1/25/12)
These Are Special Times - 5,221,933 (updated 12/21/11)
All The Way...A Decade of Song - 7,952,580
A New Day Has Come - 3,300,494
One Heart - 1,792,581
Miracle - 946,595
Taking Chances - 1,067,236
My Love: The Essential Collection - 494,515 (updated 8/24/11)
the list includes her 'Miracle' and 'My Love: The Essential Collection' albums, so maybe you could add them to your original post.
I'm not trying to attack or anything (if it comes across that way, lol), I'm just pointing out that she has sold far more than the 47.6 million, lol.
