ok i'll partially buy that reasoning, my Point is the 100 million figure that ****s up credibility. or are they combining album+singles sales with this?
b/c i remember MJ himself declaring 104 million, back in early 00īs but no one with insight took that seriously. that inflation is what irritates me.
and how do we come up with 40 million outside of US btw? i mean, what figures do we have from other countries?
did it sell massive in markets that are non-factors today? like india, china, japan (for western artists), indonesia?
