lovesexy was a wack album that didn't sell stop making things up. aside from Annia Stesia. alot of that album was crap and over Produced and any turkey could have been the featured act on the batman soundtrack and gone multi plaitnum. being Naked on the cover hurt with folks stuck on cosmetics and not the music, bottom line that album was corny and over produced.

graffti bridge back then only went gold and warners probably bought up copies as that fraudulent move he did with "Musicology.

Diamonds and pearls didn't outsell street songs stateside despite having 5 singles released and much money spent on it.

he sold records mainly on the new with Diamonds and Pearls. he however never sold no new real numbers aside from the Hits and B Sides which was split into 3 discs and it sold, however that was retrospective.

his commerical prime and peak was the 80's.
