ahh, it'd be cool if someone could pull up WW #'s so we can compare foreign artists and see how American acts compare outside the United States.

I didnt count Most Wanted, it was a Compilation album... |
Ah, I see. I've always counted it as a studio even though it's not really one.
Okay, Metamorphosis (3.8 million), Hilary Duff (1,800,000), Dignity (420,000) and if your counting 'Santa Claus Lane' (500,000).
But not counting 'SCL' or 'Most Wanted' the sales add up to 6,020,000

The album actually sold 5.5 million copies. But it's a double album. So the RIAA certifies it as 11x Platinum. She also had a Greatest Hits album that sold enough for 4x Platinum.
