Why in the name of God are the Epic alums listed before the Motown ones? --FuriousFreddy 17:24, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Thriller sales
104 millions copies of Thriller sold?! this is ridiculous. It's around 50 million—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.175.180.165 (talk • contribs).

- Yeah I love Michael, but I definitely don't believe Thriller sold the 104 million that Guinness is claiming. When I added up the sales for the countries provided on the Thriller page it's just under 50 million. That's probably at least 80% of the world's music markets right there. Believe me, I would love for it to have sold 104 million, but I'd honestly say it's around 60 million. Either way, it's still the best selling album in the world and I'm happy about that. 128.180.211.181 18:59, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
I hear sales of Invincible are wrong though, more often (The Elfoid 21:01, 21 November 2006 (UTC))
[edit] United States Sales of Thriller
Have there been any updates to Thriller's sales in the United States. Since it turns out that the album has sold over 104 million copies worldwide, it should have replaced The Eagles Greatest Hits album as the number one album in the U.S. by now. Does anyone have any info on this?--Stardust6000 03:18, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
- It's still 27x Platinum I think. I'm quite skeptical about the Guinness figures, but if they are true, they would have been mostly driven by foreign sales. MJ is still huge all over the world, even though he has declined in the US.UberCryxic 19:39, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Invincible sales
Where is the 11 million figure for global sales coming from? Almost all sources I've seen say 8 million.UberCryxic 05:38, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] thriller sales
the album thriller sold about 65 million, however all the singles released such as billy jean,beat it,pyt these singles sold over 5 million each and billy jean single sold an estimated 7.8million copies
Sales for Thriller are a mess right now; no one has any idea what the precise figure is. It's somewhere between 60 million and the Guinness figure, but what exactly is up in the air.UberCryxic 05:53, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
