Billboard has changed its website. The numbers used to be public, but they're behind a password now. We'll have to wait for someone with access to report now.
They still report the numbers on the website for the public, just in a different format. Billboard magazine still reports the figures in the regular format, so that is another way in which individual venue statistics can be obtained other than being a member to billboard.biz

Do you know what the sales are (even estimated)?
Its funny to say this but NLOTH has performed the best in Croatia (chart wise at least). I know that they are playing a concert there soon but still, 7 weeks at #1 and 15 weeks in the top 5......thats pretty cool.

As we await NLOTH's U.S. Week 22 results, I thought I'd direct everyone to this link. It discusses lots of sales and chart news.
One thing I found especially interesting - and it agrees with an earlier post of mine discussing iTunes results - is the resurgence of KOL's album. In its 45th week on the charts, it has moved up to #6. This is due to the success of the song "Use Somebody". It seems to have taken a while for that song to catch on, but once it did, it's become huge. This bodes well - hopefully - for "Crazy". It's slowly catching on more and more, but has yet to truly break out. If it does, we could see a similar rise up the charts for NLOTH in the U.S. (we already saw a rise the past few weeks, hopefully this continues).
Another interesting comment is how song downloads will reach in the millions. Initially, the RIAA set the standards for downloads as something like 100,000 for Platinum. But with songs seeing 3M or more downloads, it's clear that downloads are the way to go (meaning, the current 500K for Gold and 1M for Platinum, which are currently used in the U.S. for traditional singles - CD's and vinyl - and albums) can now be applied to downloads. But what's also interesting is that these songs can sell millions, but the corresponding albums do not. Clearly this indicates people are "cherry picking" more than ever. Years ago, people had to go to a store to buy a record. Once there, they may decide to just pick up the album instead of just the one song. But now, it's all to easy to download a song on one's computer or even cell phone (like Blackberry or iPhone) and enjoy. When it appears that a deceased artist will dominate the year and, he, at best, may still only see 2M copies sold of some of his prior album, then it's clear it's a slow sales year for albums in the U.S. (and worldwide).

Its frustrating!! But we are #1 for another week worldwide. I was hoping that sales would start hitting the 40-50k mark but they seem stuck at 30-33k. At least they are not decreasing but you would think with the UK, CA, US, Germany, all increasing (and all larger markets) that the album would have risen by a few thousand instead of gone down.
Here's hoping that Ill go Crazy if I dont go Crazy Tonight takes off....

Third week in a row that Mediatraffic numbers don´t make sense. I guess they need to check their sources 'cos obviously something is wrong.
Let´s wait and see the "inflated" MusicCharts results.

I think Mediatraffic is totally biased and purposefully give lower sales report for U2.

musiccharts update and nloth n.19 this week with 50.600 copies sold. so far have sold 3.551.800 worldwide.
With any two charts estimating sales, there will be some type of a difference. The difference here is only 382,000 in sales. But mediatraffic correctly still has NLOTH as the #1 album of the year, while the other chart does not. The most important thing is accurately determining how the album finishes vs other albums, not the precise units sold count.

Sorry, I disagree. I would rather have an accurate count of units sold (for NLOTH and other releases) than see U2 as #1 based on faulty information.
I'm not as worried about U2 being #1 for the year. I feel that if they are near the top, that's good enough. It shows that they are still popular worldwide and that their tour is not just a nostalgia act. People want new U2 while still enjoying old U2.
U2's biggest selling albums in the U.S. were not #1 in the U.S. (JT wasn't even in the Top 5!), but that does not diminish their popularity, their overall sales, or their impact in the music world. So again, being #1 isn't important, but having a proper estimate of total worldwide sales is.

I never said anything about being #1 based on faulty information. Remember, these are global sales figures and they are estimates since there is no such thing as global soundscan or global RIAA.
The point I was making is that the difference between whether an album has sold 3.2 million copies or 3.4 million copies is basicaly meaningless especially considering that these global figures are estimates.
This is NOT the US chart that is being discussed, it is the WORLDWIDE chart. Joshua Tree was the #1 selling album in 1987.(Also, Joshua Tree finished #6 on the Billboard chart which ended in November 1987, so Joshua Tree only had 6 months of sales on that chart, while Bon Jovi and Janet Jackson had a full year because their albums were released all the way back in 1986. The only album that actually had a definitive higher shipment figure in the United States during 1987 was Whitney Houston's Whitney which shipped 5 million copies as opposed to Joshua Tree's 4 million.)
Again, I emphasized in my previous post that the sales estimate should be accurate enough to determine correct chart position, but whether the top 2 albums sold 200,000 more or 200,000 less than their year end totals was probably not that important especially since there is already a range of error probably that large given that these are estimates.
