I think these are Luminate (formerly Soundscan) numbers since I think Merry Christmas should be certified Diamond soon?

I thot Mariah was a Christmas flop now.

 

Anyway, fantastic numbers. 

[HEAVYONIT]

Buble at 7M+ after only 12 years  the most impressive on this list tbh 

[feelslikeadream]

[Stallo]

This is a update of the Top 10 best selling Xmas albums currently.
 

Her last update in 2019 was 5.6M. Should be creeping towards 6M

Good for ha.

 

Hopefully, Nicki can snatch one with Pig Friday 2.

 

 

OT : Mimi and Bublé

[byzantium]

Buble on track to top this list despite releasing his albums when sales were dead is extremely impressive.

[Trash]

Are there any Diamond certified Christmas albums yet? Will Mariah be the first?

[BrokenMachine]

Well, Mariah needs some years more to get another Diamond album 

[Abracadabra]

Mariah and Buble should collaborate and end Santa claus once and for all

Elvis’ Christmas Album is 17X Platinum  However, as with most albums released before SoundScan, there’s no way to know if this is in any way accurate. 
 

Michael Bublé’s or Nat King Cole could also snatch 10M first. Cole’s album was 6X Platinum in 2009. I’m guessing most comes prior to SoundScan so he has likely already crossed 10M by RIAA.

Well we can still claim Mariah will be the first skinny legend to do it 

[HEAVYONIT]

I wonder where Josh Groban’s “Noel” is. I wanna say it’s around 6x platinum by now. 

[GraceRandolph]

Only the rightful Queen of Christmas.

 

[RobynYoBank]

I’m surprised Taylor’s album isn’t on the list. It had moved over a million units a half-decade ago. Maybe because it’s an EP?

That is not a comprehensive list. 

 

Elvis is missing: around 15 million US sales

 

Streisand is missing: around 6 million US sales

 

Groban is missing: around 6 million US sales

 

Bocelli is missing: around 3 million US sales

 

and so on.

Sales not tracked by soundscan are at least 1,5 million. The album is diamond eligible this year.

I hope so as well, she is supposedly the queen of rap.

 

[stevyy]

Oh and do not forget about Céline's album... which sold over 5,7 million via soundscan and is eligible for 6x Platinum as well. 

[Punky Rooster]

Buble, the organic King of Christmas

Rereading it, maybe they mean those ten have generated the highest activity so far this season.

Wonder if Merry Christmas will go diamond the same time as Mariah Carey (album)
