no, they previously neglected her ringtone sales which were actually massive. AIWFCIY actually went up from 9m in their last article to 17m digital sales. most of which obviously weren't sold post 2017 

 

 

also it seems like they underestimated her non Japanese Asian sales in their last article. many of them went up by 500k sales

No but they obviously underestimated her sales back then and went against labels claims... for example music box was said to be a 1m seller in south korea and music box a 1,4m seller in germany by sony itself and yet they had these sales much lower back in 2017

The queen of the 90s 

[Feanor]

Her 90s run is just one for the history books.

[Blue Monday]

Daydream and Music Box were MASSIVE damn 

[Feanor]

20.1M - 'Mariah Carey' (1990)

15.2M - 'Emotions (1991)

35.6M - 'Music Box' (1993)

24.2M - 'Merry Christmas' (1994)

35.8M - 'Daydream' (1995)

16.2M - 'Butterfly' (1997)

9.9M - 'Rainbow' (1999)

 

Just an insane run for her.

[SuperCiC1]

Daydream being her commercial peak (as it should be).

No, she was last updated in 2017 before they came up with new and more reliable formulas to estimate the Asian market, where she sold millions of albums during her peak.

This would be cool if ChartMasters wasn’t made-up and highly inaccurate.

10My All [Butterfly] (1997)6,901,000

 

That's a classic 

[aesthetic bih]

Oh wow, she really owned 1993 to 1995

[supertiffany]

she's a gigantic ASIAN seller so she should be higher, those asian countries usually is not like US/EUROPE which states official sales. 

 

she should be over 200M obviously 

[Damien M]

Queen

[Ms. Togekiss]

Music box and daydream  I didn’t expect them to be 1. So massive and 2. So equal in smashery. Daydream always seemed like her biggest album (the singles are immaculate whereas Music Box is forgagatten)

It shows in the numbers too.

Music Box was initially much bigger like over 31m of its sales come from its original release and only 4m from compilations/GH. 

 

Whilst Daydream was the longevity smash and has 11m from compilations/GHs,24m from original album. 
 

Although ig in 10 years her Christmas album will beat both. 

[UnusualBoy]

Her numbers from the 90s are

You are right, the stats Feanor posted looks highly inflated
