First of all, huge thanks to Zobbel, all figures are from his wonderful website (and I'm not ironic!).
Figures from 1964 to 1999 are trade deliveries, in units per disc, a double CD counted as 2 units etc...
From 2000, 3 figures are avalaible: The first is the same as the previous years, the second is the trade delieveries figure but counted all albums as 1 unit even if they have 2 or more discs, the third figure is retail sales.
