Default Wikipedia Album Sales?

Was searching for world album sales and I came across this, for the most part it seems pretty accurate but there is a few Bon Jovi albums that seem off in sales figures.

Wikipedia - Bon Jovi Album Sales

Sorry if this has been posted before, just want some opinions on it cause the site seems very informative and accurate with most of its info.

Anyone can basically submit whatever kind of info they want to Wikipedia. I don't think TLFR sold a million copies.

I guess it's possible that TLFR has sold a million WORLD WIDE. Maybe.

According to Richie, These Days sold at least 10,000,000 worldwide. He said that on my local radio station in 2000/2001 when he was doing some radio phone in interviews around the country.

Slippery When Wet 25m seems a bit high and Crossroads 18.5m as well but it makes nice reading regardless.

Those figures certainly show Have A Nice Day in a good light compared to Bounce. Selling more than the latter already is a good feat. Mind you, Have A Nice Day is a great album, would definately make my top 3.

i think its quite a reasonable set of figures actually...some idiot a while back claimed Crossroad had outsold SWW, completely ridiculous.

Ive a feeling TD may have sold bit less than 9 mill though..
