I thought it that was common knowledge, even to the Navy. I thought it was more along the lines of 3.5m (honestly, I haven't been keeping up with sales well recently).
She sold less than 1.1 million outside the US and the UK,
and the US/UK sales are far from mediocre. And not a single 6 million seller.
That is your impression of slaying?

Talking about yearly releases and counting just 5 weeks, yes!
This is the definition of slaying.
One More Night at #8 Not bad for a "local" hit like some people said
Still not deserving 9 weeks atop the US Hot 100 while 'Gangnam Style' was obviously more successful in every way. Psy was boycotted and 'One More Night' was used for that.
Seems ridiculous but racism could explain why 'We Found Love' is not on that list.
Not that I actually think that but it was massive enough to be on that top, I assume it sold a whole lot more. Is radio a factor? I'm genuinely confused.
The tracking period of IFPI last year was "12 months to November 2011" so I assume that their tracking period now is "12 months to November 2012."
We Found Love was released in September 2011 and started slaying charts during the last quarter of 2011, which of course is included in my hypothetical tracking period.

I can't at this selling this much without US/UK (or any english speaking country) or Asia support.
