So if her albums aren't listed in BMG's 100 best-selling albums, that means they sold none?
Check your facts before posting next time.

You're completely oblivious to how sales tracking works.
First of all, the RIAA counts shipments (which included Soundscan AND music club sales) so the fact that you're adding BMG sales on top of RIAA certifications makes no sense. You obviously didn't research the Soundscan sales for her albums either since you didn't include them in the OP and it would have made your numbers more accurate.

This is untrue. BMG sales ended in 2008 when the BMG Music Club went out of business.

Music club sales were not counted in no one RIAA certification.
Show me!
Prove me wrong,because Brandy first album scanned 2.1 million and was certified 4xplat with no club sales!

In the United States, the Recording Industry Association of America awards certification based on the number of albums and singles sold through retail and other ancillary markets.[1] Other countries have similar awards (see music recording sales certification). Certification is not automatic; for an award to be made, the record label must request certification and pay a fee to have the sales of the recording audited. The audit is conducted against net shipments after returns (most often an artist's royalty statement is used), which includes albums sold directly to retailers and one-stops, direct-to-consumer sales (music clubs and mail order) and other outlets.

BMG was not the only music club either, there was also Columbia. Also, that 4 million figure includes independent record stores that were not using point-of-sale technology to track sales so they were not reported to Soundscan but are still counted by the RIAA. Also, your link in the OP is irrelevant because it only lists 100 titles, while BMG offered thousands of titles in its entire run so your source is incomplete and outdated. Again, please do your research before you start a stats thread.

Actually, the OP is correct in adding sales for The Bodyguard. The only flaw is adding the BMG sales of Whitney with the certification.

My God, are you dense?
Record labels have to PAY for certifications, they are not automatic. Please learn how to read and look at the footnotes if you don't trust the source, you'll see that the RIAA's official website backs me up.
