Stop it, they mean musical DVD's in any sense and maybe not for your faves.

I could post you a breakdown, but it would only be numbers from a chart section of a music forum, and they never come with a reputable/credible link that provides a breakdown of those sales.

Forbes wouldn't lie, stans would. You're forgetting Destiny's Child had successful videos among other things when the Spice Girls were no longer around.

That'd be cool.
Again, I'm not dissing Beyonce, but I think a lot of these sales for a lot of these artists don't add up correctly. As I said earlier, a lot of those "best selling" lists are flawed, and record labels are known for exaggerating sales and even records. So, sometimes these number debates are somewhat nonsensical. Several "reliable" sources always state differently.

But where would they get the 118 million if they don't even have a source? The Spice Girls sold more albums, singles, records, units, videos, backpacks, purses, tampons etc. The "Wannabe" single alone sold 7 million worldwide, which is HALF of DC3's total. The receipts say otherwise, my friend.

22 million albums
+40 million singles
11 million ringtones (in the us)
2 million DVDS
=75 million records (and missing a lot)
You cannot honestly believe Destiny's Child hasn't sold at least 50 million records?

This list completely inaccurate.

Exactly! But of course her stans LOVE to inflate her sales. With 3 albums she sold 20 million WW. I wanna know where the other 50+ million came from?

For the millionth time where is this 14 million singles you keep throwing around coming from? And where are your Spice receipts since they sold so much more? 
If DC sold about 8.5 million singles in the USA alone I know they sold more than 14 million worldwide.

Well, of course alot of numbers by artists are inflated. There's nothing wrong with a reliable/credible source posting a number (100 mil, 200 mil, ect) instead of breaking down total sales (which would take a lot of research).
