and TTT has sold over 4 and a half million

illegal downloads are irrelevant

well thats still 3 albums outselling 6 of hers

4 sold 2.1 million in 2011 (10)

Talk that talk sold 1.6 mill in 2012 (23) and 1.7 million in 2011 (18) which is just over 3 million, there's no way she's sold over a million copies of it this year alone
