You can't just multiply by how much album sales have fallen since the early 2000s. While total sales are down, there are still plenty of huge debuts by big artists.
The million-selling first weeks of
Born This Way and
Speak Now, for example, will account for a much higher percentage of the album's total sales than
Oops!...I Did It Again, which went diamond.
