They said Butterfly was at 3.7M when it's 5x Platinum and has definitely sold well over 5M
One thing are certifications and another totally different thing is what they actually sold. Thanks to Nielsen SoundScan we can actually know how much the album actually sold and not get fooled by how much it shipped (certifications). Like, any stan should know this. Specially a Mariah one.

And yes, this includes Sony BMG Club sales.
Then you would know that the 3.7M didn't include BMG Club sales.
It's common knowledge Nielsen doesn't include that.
The only way to solve this is by subtracting/not counting BMG sales for Britney and other acts as well
As I said, all sales available by Sony BMG Club official reports were counted. There are none for Butterfly, not my fault. Plus, everything is already done.
