BMG releases Christina's sales figures
On August 30, 2001, BMG
International
released Christina's sales figures to date. She has now sold
23 million CDs and singles. This is a cumulative figure encompassing
sales of: 'Christina Aguilera' (12 million), 'Mi Reflejo' (3 million),
'My Kind of Christmas' (3 million), and singles from all three albums
(5 million).
Christina's actual sales figures exceed
the numbers reported here since this cumulative figure does not

compilations, special releases such as the Sears singles, or collaborations
such as 'Lady Marmalade,' 'Nobody Wants To Be Lonely,' and 'What's
Going On.'

'Lady Marmalade' Makes History
'Lady Marmalade' is now the first
airplay-only track in U.S. chart history to stay at #1 for
more than one week (in America, 'Lady Marmalade' was only available
on the 'Moulin Rouge' original soundtrack). Only two other tracks
not domestically released as singles have ever reached #1 (Aaliyah's
'Try Again' from the 'Romeo Must Die' soundtrack and 'Angel' from
Shaggy featuring Rayvon). In addition, 'Lady Marmalade's' outrageously
colorful video ranked at the top in spins at MTV and was seen regularly
on VH-1 and BET.
