If I remember correctly, I think I've heard about 25m for Slippery but then I'm not all that anal about keeping track of sales.

Slippery sold more then >26 millions till today!

Every time they relase a new album they sell really much of their old material. Remeber the info that Cross Road sold more then 0.3 million in 2006?

It was 120mil before LH was released (according to record company). For example, Cross Road alone has sold well over million copies and SWW over 600k just in US after HAND was released.

Beatles figures are correct, but record companies counted each LP/Album as 6, each EP as 2 and each single as 1 before the current system took place. 350 million is much closer to the truth

and Thriller haven't sold nowhere near 100 million copies!!

I remember hearing an interview where Jon said they sold 120 million records (during- I think) around the Canadian/American Idol help. And that was just before Lost Highway was released. And if LH sold 4 million copies, and they went on a world tour since then, Im sure it's anywhere from 125 million - 130 million albums from other album sales.

Apologies.
No way, both did well for this day and age in the music business and from a band thats been out 25 years. However HAND has probably sold more than LH... I remember right before the guys went on the Europe tour for HAND, it already sold 3.5 million worldwide, reported from the bands site, so I'm guessing it's pushing on 5 million or already has. LH is around 4 million... Also both did well in the U.S.

Both Billboard and the bands site have reported over 25 million copies sold for Slippery...

Last I had read, was something ike this:

Slippery - 25 million
Crossroad - 20 million
New Jersey - 15 million
Keep The Faith - 10 million
These Days - 8 million
Crush - 8 million
Bounce - 3 million

So, 120 million to me sounds about right. I'm pretty certain between Have A Nice Day, Lost Highway, the first 2 albums, and Jon's solo albums, that total would reach over 30 million.
