Was Speakerboxx/The Love Below 11.4 Million Total Sets sold or did they count each purchase as two because it was a double album?

Was Speakerboxx/The Love Below 11.4 Million Total Sets sold or did they count each purchase as two because it was a double album?​
they count double albums as 2
and sb/lb were garbage except for that life in the day of andre benjamin or whatever that song on lb was called
mmlp doesnt stand the test of time i cant listen to that hot garbage nowadays
also how did nas lose? having sold a billion copies doesnt mean an album was a good album
bluepriint which is regarded as jays magnum opus isnt even on the list
dope list non the less
happy to have bought 16 of the 26 on that list

Dude was solely responsible for that imo...but the Big Boi single prb brought an extra 500,000 or so. 
 
Does anyone know if any of Drakes albums hit close to 5X yet? Surprised the 1st one hasn't.....
I always felt like Take Care shoulda been a double album with the rap and R&B tracks separated, and add Free Spirit, DMCB, and Club Paradise to the rap disc . . . it woulda sold like 1.2 Mil first week and didn't it just surpass 2 Million a few months ago? That woulda been 4x Platinum

Watch him end up doing that...

These are the ones I purchased, have downloaded, dubbed, or borrowed some of the other ones.
 
Glad to see Eminem Show on there. His best work, imo. No whining about family (besides cleaning out my closet, which is pure coca-ina), just rappn. Encore has no right selling more that 2 copies.

I've bought or downloaded all but 2...Hammer/Vanilla Ice. Was old enough to have bought them, but wasn't in to music much in my younger days.
 
Em doesn't even need to drop another album like how many other artists make these numbers tho :x
