So how they include singles or not ?
That is a good point

Last year, at the World Music Awards, Guinness World Records announced that Michael Jackson's Thriller album has sold 104 million copies. I know for a fact that THAT is not accurate (and alot of MJ fans can back me on this) because sometime after 2000, the current statistic was 52 million (half of what they're claiming now). And don't forget, that was before the child molestation case. So how on Earth did he manage to double that in 6 years is anyone's guess.

So, I do believe that they include Single Sales in the total.

The Thriller album had 9 songs - 8 were released as singles
