Anyone know where to find out about album sales?

I posted this elsewhere but haven't gotten any response yet. I was just wondering if anyone knew where I could find how many units an album has sold. I did about half the engineering on an album for Eddie and the late Gerald Levert that came out last year and haven't really heard much about it since the end of the summer or so. If anyone knows of anything I'd appreciate it. Thanks
Jim

I did a search all over the website and all I could find was chart history but no actual sales numbers. I will check again maybe I missed something. Anywhere else?

Right, no sales numbers, but if you're not in the top twenty, its not making money anyway. Who's making the bucks? ...Miley Cyrus ...multi platinum on several Cds at once. Strong vocal, and everyone involved is on the same page.

Hi I had a similar situation where I had some publishing on an album and didn't see any cash from it.

I got a friend at a record company to look it up on a system they use called 'Sound scan' which seems to hold all the figures.

From what I understand, Soundscan may cost you more than a good vintage pultec!
