13045019, 7 million in 1988 for a R&B guy is worth double that today

The market for R&B was different then, because it was really starting to be influenced by Hip Hop around that time, and it outsold every album that came out in 1989 regardless of genre. That album was a complete 18o from his New Edition stuff and the King of Stage album before it. When Tip said "Way that Bobby Brown is just ampin' like Micheal," he was telling the truth.
It's easy to forget, but nah man Bobby was a certified pop star at that time.
