NOTE: All above figures are based on all RIAA Album Sales Certifications before April 14, 2005. The above numbers include only album sales.

BTW, Shania fans...Shania should move up significantly soon. I would expect a new certification for "The Woman In Me" within the next year and a new one for the GH this summer. I would predict Shania breaks the 50 million mark in the US by mid-2006 at least. Everything is looking good!
