But honestly, how is Dangerous included? I thought it was released before the Soundscan era? |
It was released in 1991 (the exact year SoundScan started)

Mariah's debut album was the #1 top selling album according to Billboard in 1991. I hope it makes it to this chart, losing 4m in sales due to being released prior to soundscan.

It sold 3,380,000 in 1991 according to SoundScan. And sales before 1991 aren't counted, it would've made the list for sure otherwise.
I really wish SoundScan existed before 1991
