Bon Jovi's history at the label...has been fruitful. Since forming in 1983, the band has sold 21.8 million albums in the United States, according to Nielsen Music...

Shame on you, Billboard! You of all people should know that Nielsen Music (formerly known as Soundscan) formed in 1991. Their total can't possibly include the 21 million albums Bon Jovi sold BEFORE then. The actual total U.S. album sales is probably closer to 35 million...

Update: This story was updated to include RIAA-certified sales of Bon Jovi's albums from before 1991, when Nielsen began monitoring album sales...
So it's actually closer to 38 million -- is my face red!

Well, it's just a replay of the article where they screwed up the number of concerts BJ has done, isn't it?
