this list must include both album and singles sales because Thriller has only sold 50 million WW and Dangerous and Bad each sold like 28 million. Beyond that, his other albums have probably sold another 50 million altogether, so 750 mill seems like quite a reach. he probably sold a load of singles in the 80's.

100 million was an inflated number given by his label to include singles sales from the album, the riaa has confirmed it to be near 54 million in sales WW.
