the original press release was "DIL sold 11m 'RECORDS' worldwide", not the album.
records including single sales, MT sales thing.
live at wembley has official statement as DIL sold 6m WW, which was 2003's initial shipment.
DIL was #4 in 2003 IFPI best selling album chart and didn't make top 50 next year, means it shipped less than 2m.
also sonymusic taiwan wrote "DIL sold 8m"(2006) in B'day description and "DIL and B'day sold 15m(2009) together" in IAY DVD.
which seems right.

. 2003?!? That's 10yrs ago. Those figures are outdated. Especially when DIL has scanned 4.9mil in America alone. Like i mentioned a few pages back, no one knows the exact figures except the record label.
9m shipped is recent estimates figure and those old albums are not selling well as you think.
.
It sold over 9 million according to mediatraffic and they don't even have all the numbers. With shipment it's probably close to 11 million. Pretty sure DIL's retail sales are closer to 10 million.

DIL selling around 100k per year nowadays.
And Most sales are come from us.(her us catalogue sales are good but not WW)
So Based on official reports, certifications, chart runs(catalogue). updated figure from big markets.
DIL shipped around 9m.
Any reliable, educated chart fan would agree with me.
I think I'll believe Beyonce and her record label about her album sales over chart fans, js. I'm 100% sure they know more about their artists album figures than any chart fan. After all it is their job. So, according to Sony Records... DIL has sold over 11 million copies worldwide.
I wonder if DIL/B'Day will re-enter next week 
at least def not flop..
