Is there a website where you can find out what amount each individual album has sold? For instance one of my favourite albums is A Farewell To Kings by RUSH and i would love to know what it has sold in the USA and Worldwide.

Amazon.UK do include the position a record has on their sales charts. However, I do treat this with some reserve, for instance I was playing tracks from Allan Holdsworth's All Night Wrong on my radio show one night and referring to the current Amazon chart position - the album seems to take a new position every 20 minutes, which was understandable but (even as a Holdsworth freak) I greeted its position in Amazon's top 100  as less believable.

For the U.S., check out the RIAA site. It won't give you exact numbers, but it will show the current Gold/Platinum certification.
