I happened to catch Francis on daytime telly yesterday He was introduced as having “sold 128 million” albums Presumably mgmt are now claiming 128 million units Did they introduce him using 'He's been rocking all over the world for over [insert years] and has sold over [insert number] albums' It used to be called 'dumming down' for a while then I guess that was eventually deemed inappropriate. Dummies being of a sensitive disposition presumably. Not sure what it's called now. Lowest common denominator? Clever marketing? Downright lies? Its jumped from 118 million units to 128 million very quickly. They should chuck in the streaming of In The Army Now. I believe it's very high. And much more 'today' for all you young mothers out there.

I guess the units is worldwide - Holland Germany etc probably contributed something.
Also video sales etc. wasn’t end of the road the biggest selling music video for a time.
Alternately it’s just a umber plucked out of the air by David Walker for pr purposes like the near miss on the rtyd day, kr presenting the band with discs for unconfirmed record sales on GMTV
