BEST-SELLING ALBUMS OF 1999
The below table lists the sales figures, according to SoundScan,
for the 52 weeks prior to January 2, 2000, for all albums that sold
more than 1,000,000 copies during 1999. All figures are
rounded to the nearest hundred thousand (except where more detailed figures
were available). Note that figures here do *not* include sales prior to
January 4, 1999, for albums released in 1998 or 1997. Nor do they include any
sales after January 2, 2000. I have provided total figures for albums on both
the 1998 and 1999 (and 1997, where applicable) best-seller charts below.
Corrections welcome.
