Incorrect. A simple Google could give you this answer. Jesus, people.
no, I think you are incorrect. A simple Google search refers to Neilsons Music research (that's where Forbes, Billboard, Yahoo etc republishes it's data) cites only US sales...obviously, US sales do not represent worldwide sales. When US media makes statements they often think US = World.
Make sure when you do a 'simple Google' search you follow up on where information is coming from! (Download the PDF's and read the data).
2014 Nielson U.S. Music (US sales):
1989 3.66 million
Frozen 3.53 million.
The IFPI the org which represents the global music industry reports:
Global sales (million):
1 Frozen Various Artists 10.0
2 1989 Taylor Swift 6.0
it's not even close.
