Live In Boston - 100,000 (platinum for video longform)
Very Best of Fleetwood Mac - 1 million

So roughly 48 million alone in just United States certification sales. But we know actual sales are higher...I think Soundscan had "Say You Will" at 900,000, for example.
Can someone verify Tango In The Night? I was a DJ back then and followed charts pretty faithfully and I could have sworn Tango was more like &x platinum. It was touted as the best selling album they had after Rumours (sales-wise not time-wise). Also, I believe Tusk sold 4 million copies but maybe that's really 2 million counted twice for the double album. All the others seem right based on my memory which could very well be off.
