Live in Boston- 58,632
Say You Will- 842,955
VBoFM- 1,002,302 (and yes- that's SS numbers, so divide it in half)
The Dance- 3,879,388
Christine McVie/In the Meantime- 19,944 (U.S. only)

All of those records with the exception of the Dance are scanning a couple hundred copies a week. The Dance still sells anywhere betwen 2K-4K on average a week.

Mick's album is so inconsequential that I'm too lazy to log into Soundscan to check the numbers.

And long ago in this thread, someone compared it to Madonna's American Life- American Life has scanned 653,238 as of last week.

Thanks for the numbers. I think soundscan figures are in units sold. So the VBOFM number is the total number of units sold. You don't have to divide them in half. You just have to double that 1 million figure for the RIAA certification. It should be certified multi-platinum sometime this year.
