Nicki has sold over 15 Million singles as a lead artist in the US, right? And over 25,000,000 as a featured artist?

At least 18 million as a solo artist.
At least 20.5 million with just featured tracks.
So around 38.5 million combined.
I've been compiling last available sales data for singles (which is pretty damn exhausting) and so only 13 of her own singles/songs with available sales data are in my solo estimation and then features include only 15 or so.
I should really finish compiling the sales data... I have been slacking on the receipts thread.

But hasn't she sold 21,500,000 US singes as a featured artist, based on certifications alone? So even if every single stalled at the certification threshold she would still have 21M, but obviously that is not the case.
It also still leaves 23 singles completely unaccounted for. Even if on average they all sold around 125k (Extremely unlikely) that's still around 3 Million singles.
Single sales are the WORST to compile, reliable data is sparse.
Edit:
Lil Freak isn't certified, but it sold 508k as of Oct 2010.

I mean... Imagine all of the unaccounted for F/single sales Nicki has.

Well Anaconda, Bang bang and other songs will keep you busy.
You might want to get on it before the songs really start to do damage 
Also, whoever is coming for Aatthew needs to keep it on anaconda and not come for him.
No you betta don't

Letting Go & 2012 sold 377k and 355k, respectively as of Oct 2010, also...

Wait really?
I thought Letting Go was a multi platinum smash the way they used to play it all the damn time

Letting Go is platinum. That was in 2010
I was only referring to Lil Freak but I added the others because they related to Nicki. I removed them to stop confusion.

Yeah, my estimations were just based off of what I had found so far.
I've been working on gathering more and now my total is up to 21,750,000~, based on 19 singles.
And, yeah, a lot of these singles sales I have are really outdated and I imagine a lot have sold quite a bit more. I made sure to include the month and the year of the last available sales update so people know.

I completely understand. It's unfortunate how outdated and unreported sales are for some singles. The fact that Nicki has sold 40,000,000+ total singles in the US is really impressive, regardless.

I agree!
I wish Soundscan data leaked more frequently this decade. Even once a month would be dandy.

Remember when Nicki said she had sold 26,000,000 US singles and 60,000,000 WW as a featured artist?

I know right. I wish it was just a public database that anyone could view, or even a public paid subscription service that you could purchase.

She's correct, most of her solo/featured singles aren't even certified

The 26,000,000 is completely believable to me. But she hasn't sold 60,000,000 features WW.
