It looks like Come On Over is no longer the best-selling Country album of all-time in the U.S.. Even though Garth Brook's 1998 Double Live CD actually only sold 10.5 million copies, it's certified as 21 million for being a 2-disc set. Just like Shania's Up! album has only sold 5.5 million copies but is certified as 11 million for being a 2-disc set.
