[edit] Notes

  • The sales statistics for some of the Jackson 5/Jacksons recordings are incomplete, because several of their releases are undercertified in many countries around the world. A general estimate is that the group has sold over 150 million records; 100 million for Motown, and 50 million for CBS/Epic.
