在SoundScan统计时代的数据(1991年开始算):总共在美国实际卖出3272万张唱片,在所有艺人中名列第15位。MJ的SoundScan唱片总销量正在逐年递增。
SoundScan是美国很权威精确的统计数据系统。能计算实际销量,而不只是RIAA那样的发货量。
MJ moves up the Soundscan's 'best selling artists' chart again. This the chart that compiles the best selling artists in the US since 1991.
In the last chart issued before he died MJ was the 47th best selling artist of the Soundscan era (i.e. since soundscan started in 1991). The following year he was catapulted up to #18, having sold an additional 9,066,000 albums.
In this year's chart he is 15th best selling artist behind Elvis presley with additional sales of 1,540,000 albums. In the past year, he pushed ahead of Britney Spears, the Backstreet Boys and AC/DC in total, post-1991 sales.
Sales of both 'Michael' and 'Immortal' have been disappointing in the US (IMO!) and so they have had less affect on the chart position than I would have liked, but perhaps BAD25 will help MJ overtake Elvis in the next year or two. That would be a great milestone!
