Album sales figures?

Would any lovely person have an up-to-date link/website/facts for the total number of UK sales for each Manics album?
I have no idea why I particularly care right now, but for some reason I'm thinking about it at this moment in time and want to know!
I've tried Googling/searching on here, but I've been really crap at it thus far.

I'd like to know this too! The closest thing is this, which shows their Platinum / Gold / Silver certifications:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manic_S...rs_Discography
Wikipedia mentioned that GT sold 250,000 copies, too.

EDIT: Found a couple other threads on this, too!: http://www.foreverdelayed.org.uk/for...ad.php?t=45025

Thanks Marilyn, those threads make for very confusing reading though! It's more Know Your Enemy I'm most interested in. One poster said 500,000 total, but another around 200,000. the latter obviously seems more likely though doesn't it? So it would have went Silver then, although I dunno if that's been awarded or not. I wish there was a resource with up-to-date stats, including JFPL and SATT. SATT has sold more right?

I know SATT went Gold by the time Autumnsong came out, so that's a 100,000 at least.
I'd also love to know figures for the other albums up to date, I just like stats and figures.

Haha, i am still not sure, i know my Alcoholic Uncle worked with 808 State in there 1990-1995 years, but ZTT produced them which Trev Horn owns, so he might have produced that!

I am sure he has got an archive about that, if he did.

Hasn't Gen Ter sold as of 2010 like nearly 1,000,000 copies worldwide???

Still would be interested in any updated information anyone might have about this.

The Wikipedia page where it states that this album went gold, that one 3 x platinum and the other silver is really all we have, and most of that info is from 2009.

I've also never ever read any information whatsoever about how well/poorly I Killed The Zeitgeist and The Great Western sold.

Someone must know something...
