Compilation of album and track sales, by year and by era

[robinannhunt]

After searching a lot, I finally found it (and it was not that hard, I just wasn't using the key words lol)! I didn't remember where I saw this, but now I have found. As of 02/11/2010, Some Hearts (track) has sold 207,000 copies. It's not updated, but it's nice to know its sales

Bonus SoundScan numbers for Kelly Clarkson, David Cook, more!

Thanks for the link but it was last updated in February 2010.

I wonder if it is near 300,000?

Updated post #5 with the sales data from yesterday. That concludes the 2011 sales update. Happy New Year to all!

Thanks for all the hard work.

Probably. I think it's selling as much as IYH (35k per year), so, it's probably at 280k-ish.

Thanks for the find, Manchs. I'll include SH to the singles list when I create a new thread to include 2012 sales.

I'm just waiting for the lead single and album info like everyone else.

Hey guys! BB just updated Inside Your Heaven sales!

It has sold 870k!

IYH might hit platinum in... 7 years then? lol

"Some Hearts" was actually released to Hot AC radio and I think it peaked at #19-ish, and got a Billboard Awards live performance at that time.

"Inside Your Heaven" is a little tricky. It's got released physically and the second-hand versions are really, really cheap ($0.01) on Amazon and everywhere else so people might not opt for the more expensive digital ($1.29) product. Moreover, I don't think her label has continued to print the single, and I doubt there's any excessive shipments so we'll have to entirely depends on new digital sales for this. And that's also hard since it wasn't a 'real' hit and Carrie doesn't sing it very often now does she?

But IYH actually certified Gold physically and digitally so technically it's Platinum. It's just at that time digital and physical sales weren't combined and 100k would already be Gold for digital sales (The first million-selling digital single only happened in 2005 with Gwen Stefani's multi-week Hot 100 #1 hit "Hollaback Girl"; IYH was the biggest-selling physical single that year).

that's true but then Riaa changed digital certs to Match physical ones so gold is 500,000 and platinum is 1,000,000 and if Inside Your Heaven sells 35,000 a year it'll be platinum in about 3.5 years so August of 2015

I think it's highly unlikely that her label will certify it for her, though.

@CLH Hilary yeah that's true but stranger things have happened previously
