It is one of the biggest-selling albums of all time, having sold more than 7 million units in Europe alone, selling an impressive 500,000 copies in the Far East, one million in Italy, and more than three million in Spain, and Latin America where it became the best-selling album, by an non-Latino artist, of all time. It also received quadruple platinum status in the United States of America with 4.2 million copies sold, being Bocelli's first album released in the US, and Diamond status in Canada, with 1,123,000 copies sold, making Romanza the best-selling album by a foreign artist of the SoundScan Era, and the fourth best-selling overall, in Canada.
