If platinum in Brazil is 1 point, then Diamond is surely 4 points for IASF.

Don't shade the LORD like that, OF only had one hit single which is not the case with Circus, and it's probably sold more than Circus.

If you say so.

I don't think you'll have much fun with this countdown. The next one will be much better though.

L.A.M.B. is disappointingly less successful than I remember it to be

[Eaten By Lions]

L.A.M.B should have done more. It has so many legendary hits.

It had amazing longevity though! Especially compared to other albums from that time. Its peak positions are pretty bad though.

[dperkins]

@ the title!!

[americanshameless]

Is Circus the only album you're counting?

It still sold 7M and produced multiple big hits.

[Shakira Stan]

oh oh, i was expecting circus to rank higher than that
definitely not global enough.

Well, it's been her most global album the past 10 years. In The Zone had better longevity (though that wasn't anything special either) buts its peak positions in the top 10 major music markets were worse than Circus. Sorry.
