10 million copies as of 1996
2.6 million MEX sales?
none came close to the more than 10 million copies it has sold in Latin America and Spain
Romance salió al mercado a mediados del 91, con una serie de boleros clásicos interpretados en un estilo moderno con arreglos de Armando Manzanero, dando un giro completo al gusto popular. El álbum del ídolo mexicano dio origen a una fiebre de producciones de boleros en la voz de otros artistas, aunque ninguno se acercó a los más de 10 millones de copias que ha vendido en América Latina y España el ídolo mexicano de 26 años.ref
superó los ocho millones y medio de copias
De acuerdo con las cifras indicadas en el parte de prensa de la empresa, "Romance", nuevas versiones de los famosos boleros, vendió ocho millones de copias no tan solo en América y España, sino en países tan remotos como Japón y otros de Asia.

La última producción de Luis Miguel, Romance, podría convertirse en el disco más vendido en la historia discográfica de México. A sólo un mes de haber sido lanzado al mercado, más de 500 mil copias, han sido adquiridas.
In the interview with Susana Giménez in Argentina (December 1992), she commented (min 1:05) that Romance sold 500k copies in China, 2.5 million in Mexico (...)[1][2]

Mexico sales: Luis Miguel, a world-renowned artist who has sold between three-and-a-half and four million copies of a single recording.

Can you continue sending more sources about sales? I'm trying to convince those on Wikipedia in Spanish but they still don't pay attention. LuisEduVe (talk) 16:23, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm here on the English Wikipedia page as well and Franlm14 and I both agree that Romance has only sold 8 million. In fact, I'm one of the main contributor to this article. Erick (talk) 16:54, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I see, although I must say that I have found several inconsistencies in the two profiles of Luis Miguel, since several sources are used that contradict the data given, such as using news that says that he has sold such a figure and in which it contradicts a figure that is found in the profile and about Romance, its sales should be investigated further, since there are sources that say that it sold 10 million, others 8, others 7 and so on, but the most mentioned is the more than 10 million and there are also inconsistencies with the other albums, you used a reference from the Torreon century where it said that of the first albums with WEA, this one in Mexico alone sold 3 million copies but they lower the figure.
