Jackson 5
Motown wasn't a member of the RIAA in the early-to-mid 1970s, so the Jackson 5's albums have never been independently certified. The figures quoted here are the official Motown sales, dating from 1995.
Key: Pre-SS = official Motown figures to 1995, SScan = sales in SoundScan era, Date = date of SoundScan figure.
