Because you guys have a tendency to count what happens in america as valid for the rest of the world too....
PS= 5-6 mil.
HoBL= 2.5-3 mil.
S&M= 1.5 mil.
These figures are from the time these records were released or some time after.
Have this from a trustworthy sourse.
Yep- guilty as charged 
Proud to be American- just not proud all of the crap that passes for music here.
Good to see RHCPs' and Tool topping the charts currently.

To paraphrase an old saying(mostly about france I think):"America is a wonderful country, if only it wasn´t full of all those americans!"

Re: Rapture sales..
Nationalism is lame. I see no reason to take pride in whatever geographical location I happened to be spawned in. There are better things to be proud of than the patch of land and government you were born into through no doing of your own.

Too true.
However, everyone knows that Scotland is the best place in the world!

These are the sales I heard too. But nothing fra after that, exept that and Purpendicular sold more than TBRO and CHOHW together. So that should be more than one million.
But did'nt Payne say Bananas sold something like 500 000 in a interview somewhere...

Re: Rapture sales..
Yes he did... over 500000 copies or so.
They do sell good in Germany, Russia and fair in rest of Europe.
Don't know about Japan these days though.

Re: Rapture sales..
I emailed Edel for the sales figures (more or less). I wonder what will be their answer (if there will be an answer )

There is no way HOBL broke a million. Mabye now, after 20 years...probably not.
Everything else did squat.
This band has been a day late and a dollar short, never striking the iron when it was hot.
According to the TBRO bio in 1993,
the U.S. only, sales alone, for THOBL, in it's first year, was 950.000, I'd say it's broken a mill by now, worldwide.

US sales alone was 950000...
Why isn't HoBL awarded with a goldrecord in that case? In America..
