As already explained, the reference for Clay's number include other items not counted in the page (but is included in the number in parentheses. For example if you look at their number for Scotty McCreery [1], it gives 1,329,000 albums which we know is not the number for his debut album, therefore it includes compilations or EP not counted here.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of American Idol alumni album sales, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Steadfast. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current
Arbitration Committee election. The
Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia
arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose
site bans,
topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The
arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to
review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on
the voting page. For the Election committee,

Just a note to say that the number in the WSJ article is problematic as it includes streams and track equivalent albums, and as can be seen from the figures for the others in the list, it distorts their numbers by quite a bit. Clay Aiken's number is more similar to the older total number because he doesn't sell as many singles and tracks, but that is not true to someone like Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood. If we add the number for Clay only and then we would need to do so for the others as well, and adding the numbers for the others will actually make Clay Aiken look like he is selling fewer albums in comparison. Billboard as of now still makes the distinction between number of albums sold and units (the new formulation) sold. We may need to discuss it first before adding the numbers because it will likely create some problems. Hzh ( talk) 20:44, 6 January 2016 (UTC)
Numbers for a large number of Idols are included in the WSJ article. Combining singles, streams and albums is the current standard and will remain so for the forseeable future. Personally I'm not concerned with how it looks. I'm just updating new information from a legitimate source. If you're so concerned why not update all the others into the present day rather than insist on sticking to old ways with the dinosaurs? AllDone ( talk) 22:28, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

Please don't use the wrong link to give false certification. That page shows everyone as Gold and Platinum if they have any certification. See for example Adam Lambert, Scotty McCreery, Bo Bice, Elliot Yamin. You need to click on the album or the song to see the correct certification. Hzh ( talk) 22:59, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
