Usher's 2004 "Confessions" album hits a milestone sales achievement this week, surpassing 10 million in U.S. sales according to Nielsen SoundScan.
The feat is notable in that it is only the 19th album to sell 10 million since SoundScan began tracking data in 1991. In the week ending July 1, "Confessions" sold another 2,000 copies, bringing its overall sum just over the 10 million mark.
Previous to "Confessions," the last album to sell 10 million was Eminem's "The Eminem Show," which was released in 2002 and crossed the threshold in the sales week that ended Oct. 2, 2011.
