Anyone have any idea what the Order's total world-wide sales figures (albums+singles) are? BM alone is certified for 1 million in the UK, and I've seen figures of 3M worlwide for it - and yet they're not in the top 300 - which cuts off at around 20M total sales
Figures could be interesting - they've had two UK number one albums, a UK number one single, the "biggest selling 12" of all time", and some fairly widely circulated best-of's, not counting the other albums and singles.
47,657,222 albums
78,106,367 singles
18,000,000 casettes
510,000 cdv's
400,000 dat's
1000 substance vinyl promos
300 flexi discs
In all honesty i aint a fookin clue,however,i know one thing 4 sure they sold one million copies of substance in the u.s.
i've got an article from 2001 in Mojo magazine stating that they have sold around 20m albums worldwide before 'get ready' came out.
and that Substance is there biggest seller with 6m copies sold worldwide.
But can you believe a magazine? in the words of john Lydon
'the written word is a lie'
He said it, then some JOURNO wrote it down, typed it up, had it set and printed.
Id say a lot, but FACTORY RECORDS had a pretty bad accounting record. They dont know themselves. Suffice to say they couldnt be doing as badly as some of the moderators around these parts seem so keen to point out around illegal download of new album time.
