Now do a breakdown of her sales

Nothing inflated, it's simple logic. Her reported US single sales only make up 40-45% of her global sales, according to her five IFPI entries and SoundScan sales

Just Dance sold 7.7M in the
IFPI 2009 tracking period, with 3.8M (49%) sales from US
Poker Face sold 9.8M in the
IFPI in the IFPI tracking period, with 4.2M (43%) sales from US
Bad Romance sold 9.7M in the
IFPI 2010 tracking period, with coming from the 3.6M (only 37%) in the US
Telephone sold 7.4M in the 2010 IFPI tracking period, only 2.6M (35%) came from the US within that tracking period.
Born This Way sold 8.2M in the 2011
IFPI tracking period, and only 3.4M (41%) sales came from the US
Considering she sold 52M singles in the US and that her singles sell far more outside the US according to the IFPI, she has obviously sold 125M+ singles_ringtones. Don't be so bitter
Billboard is as official as it gets anyway (especially for singles which aren't shipments unlike album sales) so I don't know why I should prove this in the first place
