Yes I'm aware. My point is that labelling it as "sold" is misleading, especially for a band like Bon Jovi who had most of their sales when real sales were actually a thing. In my opinion, mixing the actual sold and the streaming data make the numbers completely non-sensical in their case.

By the way Taylor has sold over 40 million physical albums and 114 combined. She is very transparent about the physical and combined aspects of it, as I believe all artist should be, rather than mixing and matching the data to suit.
