If I'm not wrong, I think S&S sold 750k in Germany, not 600K. I'll find my source 
I think S&S sold around 2.5M in Europe.
It sold almost 4M from North America alone, 2.5M from Europe and 2M more from the rest of the world. S&S sold around 8.2M WW.

9. Dixie Chicks - 30.5M
10. Linda Ronstadt - 30M

I think this list will remain this way forever

-Barbra Streisand was a HUGE sensation before even Madonna. Her most recognizable hit is probably "Woman In Love." She has an amazing voice, is really mean and kind of lacks a signature hit.
=Reba McEntire is now Kelly Clarkson's mother-in-law!  She's a country star and most famous for her song "Fancy."
- Linda Ronstadt is very underrated, even in the U.S. She has Parkinson's and can no longer sing. "You're No Good" and "Blue Bayou" are her most recognizable hits.
-The Dixie Chicks are EVERYTHING. They did an amazing cover of "Landslide" by Fleetwood Mac (I HIGHLY recommend checking it out). Their most famous song is called "Wide Open Spaces," though I've never gotten in to it. They had a huge scandal in the U.S. after shading George Bush, who was then president, in France and got blacklisted from radio. They came back with "Not Ready To Make Nice" and I can guarantee you'll love this song. It's one of the greatest songs of the past decade

Yeah, Reba ain't selling anymore and she was lower 6 years ago but her team certified everything that needed to be certified so 41M is all she'll get.
Madonna and Britney are the only ones that will make movement.
Madonna will stay at #2 but get closer to Barbra.
Britney just needs In the zone and Britney recertified and then have 4 more platinum albums and a platinum greatest hits album... so yeah a challenge but she can actually do it if BJ was a wake up call...
We have a few females:
Taylor swift 19.5...at minimum gets 3x platinum each era
Adele 13M...could easily recoup 70% of her 21 sales 7x platinum...
It would take them over a decade to match Britney and I don't think Taylor will have the 3x platinum selling power of the past and Adele might get it one more time but after that...
At this point, we just need Britney to pump out those 7 albums she claims she wanted to do before she quits.
Just give us 1M shipments. I'm ok with FF sales as long as we get that platinum plaque.

My estimations:
North America (US & Canada): 885k
Europe: 475k
Latin America: 220k
Asia: 165k
Oceania: 57k
Africa: 15k
Errors margin/other regions: 20k
Total sales should be around 1.84m, it's definitely more than the 1.7 million @chartnews guesstimated last year. |
We need the receipts though (but your guesstimation sound about right)

How can you provide receipts for personal estimations?  Mine are based on known sales, certifications, chart positions, size of the market, chart runs, and Year-End charts. (785k in the US, 110k in the UK, 100k in Canada, 90k in France, 70k in Japan, 50k in Australia, 40k in Germany, etc).
I'm gonna post a breakdown of it's sales in every market later though. Same with BJ.

I think it's definitely underestimated/fake, WB has sold around 180k just from the UK, France, and Germany alone.

"3" is her 4th best selling single in the US and it was massive in Asia, South Korea and Japan stanned hard for it.
MATM, OIDIA, and Everytime were released before the digital era and didn't have a physical release, otherwise OIDIA would be a lot higher.
