Interesting how JBJs solo albums go towards the total sales but Richies dont.

So with streaming included (and made relevant to album sales) BJ have sold the equivalent of 142.2m albums.
Roughly 132m are hard copies. The rest is streaming plays converted to album sales. You have to have a certain amount of streams on an album for it to be classed as 1 sale.
