Did “All For You” Really Sell 7 Million Copies?

Janet Jackson's “All for You” album was a global blockbuster, and one of the best-selling albums of the 2001 and the entire decade. However, there is an ongoing ridiculous discussion on the internet, whether it sold 5.9, 6 or 7 million copies worldwide. Whichever number you take, the sales would be great, especially for an artist that was 35 years old and 19 years into the business; at that point, most pop stars are already lost in oblivion, and Janet was still one of the top-selling artists in the world. However, here are some claims, some facts, and our conclusion.

In 2001, according to the Billboard's “Global 20” report, the album has sold 5 million copies in ten then biggest markets: the U.S., Japan, the U.K., Germany, France, Canada, Spain, Australia, Italy, and the Netherlands. Brazil and Mexico were ranked by IFPI as the seventh and eighth biggest markets, but Billboard replaced them with Italy and the Netherlands because they didn't fulfil certain criteria.

Of those 5 million units, around 2.5 million have been sold in the U.S., which is a combined figure made of provided data by Nielsen Music and BMG Music Club. That means that, in 2001, the “All for You” album sold around 2.5 million units outside the U.S., in nine countries listed above.

But, that's not all. We have to add to it aditional‭ 277,500‬ certified units in Belgium, Denmark, New Zealand, South Africa, and Switzerland, as well as sales from nine other countries excluded from “The Global 20” report, in which album peaked in top five and top ten, and two countries in which it peaked in top twenty respectively. We are talking about Austria, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Norway, Poland, Portugal, and Sweden. Most other countries didn't have official charts, but Janet was, and still is huge in Asia, while in Latin America, the title song topped the Mexican singles chart and ended up being the twelfth biggest hit of the year in Brasil, so the album probably sold a few copies in those markets too.

In short, the “All for You” album sold at least around 5.5 million units worldwide in 2001 alone, and we know that, according to Nielsen Music, it sold approximately 0.8 million in the U.S. between 2002 and 2018, which leads to at least 6.3 million units sold worldwide, even if it didn't sell any copy in any other country after 2001, which is very unlikely.

Conclusion: There is no way to know precisely how many units of this great album have been sold globally, and nobody that wants to be taken seriously shouldn't be pretending to know the exact number. While some unofficial sources with bad reputation are unsuccessfully trying to prove it wrong, an estimated 7 million units sold worldwide obviously doesn't seem like science fiction. It's the only official number we have so far, we have enough of data and logical assumptions to back it up, and therefore, we recommend it to be used in your posts and articles because that would be closest to the truth.

Janet Jackson's album “All for You” has really sold around 7 million units, as claimed by the UMe, and it is one of the best-selling albums of the 2001 and the whole decade.

Case closed.

On this day in 1990, “Love Will Never Do (Without You)” was released

On October 2, 1990, “Love Will Never Do (Without You)” was released. The song was the final commercial single from the megaselling “Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814” album. It helped the album to become the only one in history to produce number-one hits on the Billboard Hot 100 in three separate calendar years and made Janet the only artist to achieve seven top-five singles from one album; each of seven singles sold over million physical copies worldwide — a feat that no other album by any musician, ever reached.

The single was certified Gold® by the Recording Industry Association of America® (RIAA) and became the longest-running airplay number-one single in the U.S. at the time. According to Nielsen Music, 207,479 digital units have been sold in the U.S. until May 17th, 2018, in contrast to a controversial claim by highly unreliable “ChartMasters” that it has sold 150,000 digital units globally. The classic has also generated 8,984,469 streams in the U.S. until May 17th, 2018, in comparison to the “ChartMasters’” claim of 4,384,252 streams globally.

“Love Will Never Do (Without You)” topped the charts in the U.S. (Billboard Hot 100), Canada (Canada Top Singles), and Japan (Oricon). It was one of the best selling singles of the year in Australia, the U.S., and Canada, selling at least 1.4M units worldwide.

The song can be bought and streamed here.

It went to number one in several countries, going on to sell over 12 million copies worldwide, plus over 11 million single and video sales. It set many records that may never be broken and changed the rules of the game for everyone, forever.
