The 7 mil sellers

The sales of "Crack a bottle" are underestimated. It was almost 2 million by October of 2010:

200 - 1,925,789 - EMINEM, DR. DRE & 50 CENT CRACK A BOTTLE

Stronger I think is at 4.5 now, but close enough

and one of the highest on the chart right now of the non-discounted

MLWSWY deserves to be at 3 million

how new are the 2.7 mil figures?

Once Eminem dies and his #s inflate a little Britney's got the bottom 2 on LOCK

Imma Be died fast, it's a shame it's not in Top 1000, but it was a such a smash seller

I'm impressed Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You) is such a big seller

Well deserved for Kelly
