The ideal thing to do would be to get "reliable third-party" sources from places such as The New York Times, The Guardian, Billboard, IFPI, etc. Mauri96 (talk) 23:16, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Maurie..... the reason why Madonna own website claim 19 million, is because the certification is really real without estimation, and actually it isn't right.... this is the best sources of True Blue Claim...... 25 million copies, absolutely one of the best selling albums in history.
