Hmm... That was weird.... I saw your post, and then I replied to it. Then when I went to this thread, your post wasn't there. And now you posted the exact same thing.. After my posts... Hmmm...............

Anyways, your still wrong. ;)

Demanding little thing ain't he. ;)

Good luck with finding that stuff. As far as I know (which means what I've heard/concluded a.k.a. not necessarily true), the only ones who usually know exactly how much money an individual record made, are the record companies. You want that info? Then you will have to get it from the company that released each individual album on the sales chart.

And as far as numbers go, all you really have is soundscan. And I don't know if those numbers are how many were shipped to stores or if they are how many people actually bought.

Either way, that info is unreliable and difficult to come by. Especially when it isn't recent.
