Though I couldn't find anything specific on the recent sacd or immersion box sets this analysis is interesting to read. Starting at page 3 for the Table of Contents, eventually true sales numbers are elusive even with this concept I believe. At one time Birdland Records of Australia had the Dark Side of the Moon Sacd sales at over 1 million on their home page but I see as of 2019 the page has been updated.

I know there are published sources for music sales...but I have always been "suspicious" of their accuracy...there is nothing "transparent" about the music industry...


True.....And I was looking for actual/factual figures on just sacd release units sold figures and those will always be unavailable to the public. And I wonder why those aren't made public, why so secretive about it.

There have been some reports on the number of copies of the Pink Floyd SACDs sold.
It was publicly reported that Dark Side of the Moon from EMI sold over 1 Million copies on Surround Sound SACD. But that was several years ago, back when albums sold in the millions.

These days, a big selling album in any format would be considerably less when it comes to copies sold.
