total album sales
Well as a relatively new fan i am wondering about the Manics total album sales. Any estimates? Sorry if this is an old thread i should have read.

If Nicky is reading he should know. As should James and Sean. C'mon guys.

Was something about this a bit back I think but from the top of my head I know that:
GT - over 100k
GATS - over 60k
THB - no idea
EMG - over 500k
TIMTTMY - I'm sure it's worldwide is over 4 million
KYE - over 100k
LB - no idea
SATT - over 100k
JFPL - no idea, probably over 60k
Not sure about LT compilation or the greatest hits.

well, no reason not to have a new debate - TIMTTMY outsold EMG by that much? wow, i really would have had EMG as the biggest selling album.

they keep certain things secret from Sean. generally, he is not to be troubled by things like release details, sales, etc.

i appreciate you are a new member, you are not to know that Sean is a bit like a "silent Stig" in the band.

I'd say it's over a million but less than two, with EMG and TIMTTMY accounting for a large percentage of it.

I started a thread on this a few months ago, but I don't think any clear picture was achieved, but there are some useful links in there to previous threads which give a rough idea.
