Question
how many albums has david bowie sold worldwide to date

Answer
Here are some figures.


I have exact(ish) figures for the US and UK. For example, BTWN sold 200,000 there, Outside about 170,000 and Earthling 200,000. In the UK, BTWN sold 350,000, and Outside and Earthling around 90,000. Best Of 69/74 sold almost 200,000 and Best Of 74/79 60,000 (in the UK).

Reasonably accurate worldwide guesses for BTWN (2.5 million), Outside (1.7 million) and Earthling (2.6 million). TBOS apparently sold less than 100,000 worldwide.
