Mariah's sales were just recently inflated this year. The whole TEOM era she was at 160 million in sales and now she is magically at 200 million sold worldwide. I think all the divas have inflated sales and egos which is why this occurs.
If I remember correctly she was at 165 million just as TEOM was coming out.

If you add 9 million for TEOM that comes to 174. Add 2.5 for EMC2 then she has 176.5.

If you then include 1 million shipped for The Ballads worldwide then she rises to 177.5.

So still quite short of the 200 million mark. Her back catalogue would have sold 1 million max over the last 3 years. So Max max max she is about 178 million.

I think they include singles sales though in her figures. Also probably every itunes sale for a track gets included on her total to get the magic figure plus dvd sales etc.

But yeah, still inflated like all the divas.
