We have official sources, Sony reports shipments of 60M Albums. Billboard reported DELL sold 8M overall. In an LA Times Article from 1999 they mentioned that DELL had sold 3M and PD had sold 3.6M. And how do YOU know, boo, that MT numbers are not far a way from the real ones, when nobody except Sony knows the real numbers? ![confused](http://www.atrl.net/forums/images/smilies/images/smilies/confused.gif) .

The shipment numbers are probably still true. Billboard doesn't do global album sales. The LA Times doesn't do global albums sales. From what we actually know of her sales, they aren't far off (like Rolland pointed out they're both over 3x what certifications show).
I wouldn't be shocked if her album sales went up when more countries report sales but I don't think she's as understated as we're all saying. Almost 40M albums sold for an artist that is mostly relevant outside of the biggest music market is an incredible success.

I was going to post something shady about her album sales being less than ...BOMT's U.S. total and she clocked me like this
