NSA sold 13.2 million copies worldwide in 2000 - almost 10 million of which were in the US alone. Usually, when an album sells that much in the US, it's sales everywhere else are...a lot more than 3 million copies. I think Celebrity actually had better non-US sales. And outside of Rock In Rio and a few isolated dates on PopOdyssey, their touring was pretty much exclusively the US and Canada after NSA hit.

I don't give a shit anymore, but Nsync's worldwide sales and tour numbers did always seem low to me compared to what they did in the US.
