[edit] Total Worldwide Album Sales for Albums

Where do the worldwide album sales (estimates) come from? They've been there (and modified several times) for a long time, even before this separate discography page was created, and I've always wondered where these figures are dervied from. Are people just guestimating? Is there any legitimate way of tallying worldwide record sales, including back all the way to 1973? I know the U.S. figures are accurate (albeit outdated in some cases) as they are derived from official certifications by the RIAA. But I'm still wondering about the worldwide albums sales. I know that Columbia Records has reported Aerosmith to have sold a grand total of well over 100 million albums worldwide, but where are the worldwide sales for each album being derived? Any help in trying to get sources for this information or if these are just pure estimates by Wikipedians themselves would be appreciated. Thanks. --Abog 00:19, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Singles Chart Data for Other Countries Needed

Anybody who has access to historical singles chart data for any other countries (Canada, Australia, Japan, Germany, etc.), it would be great if we could get the information on here. I know inputing the data and creating new columns may be a daunting, time-consuming, complicated task for some, but if you just find out what singles reached what positions in what countries and then either post it on here or message it to me, I will be glad to put it up. I just don't know where to find out what positions Aerosmith's singles placed in other countries, but would be glad to put it up, if someone can find the data. Please let me know where you found the data as well. Thanks in advance to anyone wishing to help out. Abog 03:27, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
