Best regards.
If you've got something better, by all means, share with the rest of us.

It's not the only source. If we're to believe that they have sold 120 million albums and we're to believe Billboard's numbers, then it's accurate.

True, and as I said, if you look at worldwide numbers, subtract Billboard's numbers, it comes out the same.

My thoughts on total album sales is that it does not reflect Bon Jovi's greatness as a musical act.

Count me in this category too please. I almost puked this morning when I heard Rihanna sing about how she's a rock star on ESPN

I don't care about the Billboard. It's focused on the american music industry, and there's nothing wrong with the american numbers if we talk about Bon Jovi sales.

You should take a look at the CRIA, RIAJ, BPI and all the other organizations for worldwide shipments.

Best regards.

So, what you're saying is, you don't believe Bon Jovi has sold 120 million albums worldwide?

As for Billboard numbers, that is precisely my point. They only count sales in the US.
