lot of good albums up there

bad sales....another years its was better

ayumi hamasaki

THIS ARE ONLY FOR 24 COUNTRIES..... SHAKIRA HAS SOLD MORE THAN 3 MILLION.... ALMOST 400K IN MEXICO...... 300K IN COLOMBIA..... 100K IN VENEZUELA AND THE REST OF LATIN COUNTRIES WICH ARE 5K - 60 K WITH FIJACION ORAL


THATS MORE THAN 1 MILLION WITH ALL THESE LATIN COUNTIES MEDIA TRAFFIC DOSENT COUNT

PLUS SHE WAS THE MOST BOOTLEGED IN MEXICO.... 30% OF THE BOOTLEGED THIS YEARS WERE SHAKIRA'S......

according to mediatraffic...
but they only cover somethng like 70% os the worldwide sales.. Fijacion oral sold 3 million albums worldwide this years...

yeah Fijacion oral has sold around 3.5 million.... even tho sony says 4 million
Oral Fixation v.2 probably sell around 4 million too this year.... making it a total around 8 million with both fixation..... since the media is starting to combine them

kelly clarkson is a true bonafide star worldwide

she is conquering the world

Oh sh!t, thanks ***** ^_^

This definitely only calculates 70% of the world's charts.

My favorites:
04. Mariah Carey - The Emancipation Of Mimi (Island) - 6.972 million
-This sold 8 Million.
05. Black Eyed Peas - Monkey Business (A&M/Interscope) - 6.09 million
-This is extremely close to outselling Elephunk.
06. Kelly Clarkson - Breakaway (RCA) - 5.493 million
-This sold about 6 Million internationally this year, 7 Million overall.
07. Gwen Stefani - Love, Angel, Music, Baby (Interscope) - 4.685 million
-Another one that sold a bit more, 7 Million overall.
08. James Blunt - Back To Bedlam (Atlantic) - 4.462 million
-These are some great sales. Who really needs the US anyway...well some do lol.
10. Madonna - Confessions On A Dance Floor (Warner Bros.) - 4.031 million
-W.O.W.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
11. The Killers - Hot Fuss (Lizard King / Island) - 3.487 million
-This also sold about 7 Million overall.
15. Kanye West - Late Registration (Roc-A-Fella / Def Jam) - 2.933 million
-This probably sold 3.5 million at most. I wish he would focus on promoting outside the US instead of popping out albums as fast as he can.
23. Shakira - Fijación Oral Volume 1 (Epic) - 2.293 million
-3 Million, actually.
32. Usher - Confessions (Arista) - 1.705 million
-Still selling ?!?!?! It's not even that good...
34. Pussycat Dolls - PCD (A&M) - 1.632 million
-WOW, these are great numbers. It probably sold more as well.
38. Carrie Underwood - Some Hearts (Arista Nashville) - 1.538 million
-This album only sold in US & Cananda, but did very well.

I'm suprised by Gwen....I thought WYWF was her worldwide sales push and therefore most sales would be in late 2004. Guess Rich Girl, Hollaback Girl and Cool make an impact too.

3 million... not 3.5...
and FO2 will be lucky if it sells 3 million

J.Lo<3

Thats amazing for Madonna given its only been out for a couple of months.

Even better !

The sales definitely are disappointingly low, and I'm surprised that Destiny Fulfilled isn't even on the list considering the album was only released at the very end of 2004. I guess it sold the vast amount in a month and a half.

with the medi base it says 2.2 with only venezuela , mexico , and colombia.... it makes 3 million im preaty sure its around 3.3 - 3.5


and OF2 alredy sold 1 million im preaty sure every single form it will be international...... not like FO1....... Im guessing around 4 million



and dont say no cos ....it sold around 400k first week..... 200k the rest of the weeks.... and it hasnt been released in a lot of places especialy UK were they are doing big promo

WTF is "medi base"... 2.2 million in venezuela , mexico and colombia LMAO... yeah right and in chile,peru and argentina another million...

OMG, only 2 months and she has sold about 5millions. would not surprise to me that at the end of 2006 she sells 11 millones.

"millions " its doesnt even a WORD!

i think yes it is, and i think "it's doesn't" sooooo bad written.

mediatraffic my bad.... says 2.2 WW venezulea 100k colombia 300k maexico 400k total of 3 million chile, peru, all those small markets ... etc etc...... i bet hey do around 300k - 500k
