The best example is still Mariah. Her new Album has been sold over 10 million times. But it isn't that much a differance between this and her preceding album Charmbracelet but Charmbracelet only sold 4.45 million times. It has a lot to do with a good promotion. On the other side Alanis Morissette's album Jagged Little Pill sold over 30 million times and had less promotion than The Emancipation of Mimi. It's sometimes a mystery we have to deal with. Like 1+1=2 and not 1.
You must also take into account the fact that Jagged Little Pill was released about 10 years earlier when P2P piracy was not as popular as it is today. And even though Jagged Little Pill didn't have as much promotion, it had a very popular single.
