Technically E.Eternal is the most successful outa all them coz its 7x plat but a single cd album.

Many of the others are double cds therefore counted twice.

They are in order of how well they are SELLING right now, not how much they've sold total. For example, License To Ill has sold WAAAAAAY more than Reasonable Doubt, but right now at least, more people are buying Reasonable Doubt than License To Ill. Dr. Dre 2001 isnt on there cuz its not 2 years old yet.

Are you sure cause I heard 9 mil in the U.S. only. I could be wrong.

i'm pretty sure because every where i've seen sells for that album they say 4 mil or 6 mill, and in the genis book of world records i think they're obligated to list the world wide number ...i dunno i could be wrong but in the u.s. i think they've sold 6.8 million records and it's certified at 7 and world wide it's 9 million

I explained it above dawg. It aint how much the album has already sold total, but how its selling RIGHT NOW. Reasonable Doubt is only gold, but alot of people are still buying that album, and thats why its on the catalog charts. The currrent sales have NOTHING to do with it.
