When buying the album from marketplaces they cite 35 million. Therefore taking all of this information into account, it's been moved to 35 million Tag: Visual edit

Is not our obligation as Wikipedia, certainly there are many instances of uncertified sales, as we can see examples from Nielsen vs RIAA in the works of various artists, including some of these albums. The field is exclusive to certified units. Moreover, the estimation in the ref parameter for Thriller, is original research and shouldn't wrong to modify it or delete it.

• curprev 14:2214:22, 1 April 2024‎ NicolasJz talk contribs‎ 184,138 bytes −10,528‎ This section should be deleted. The unfortunate reality is that we do not know what were the all-time best-selling albums before Thriller - record sales tracking for much of the 20th century was very crude at best and determining how much an album sold was difficult enough in the US, let alone globally. The sources in the section are not based on certifications and often contradict each other, so they are not really helpful. Tag: Reverted

• curprev 17:1717:17, 28 March 2024‎ Never17 talk contribs‎ m 196,091 bytes +902‎ →‎40 million copies or more: Thriller has sold 10 million since 2009 at a time people reported sales anywhere from 65-78 million indicating current sales would be from 75-88 million. It's also passed the 50% threshold for the claimed figure of 100 million when the benchmark for most albums is 30% certified / claimed. Therefore it's been changed to a more reasonable figure of 70-100 million as it's sold at least 70 million, but could be as high as 100 million. Tag: Visual edit

• curprev 02:1202:12, 28 March 2024‎ Never17 talk contribs‎ 195,173 bytes +1,153‎ A note was needed due to the varying sales claims for Thriller, some state 100 million however Billboard and Reuters in 2009 stated that Thriller sold a estimated 50 million internationally along with being 28x platinum in the United States. Indicating that it had sold nearly 80 million at the time, since then it's jumped to 34 million (+6 million). Meaning it's sold over 80 million but not close to the 100 million that's been claimed.
