In this modern age of mass media and network interconnectivity the success of an album, the popularity of a TV show, or the size of a web site is measured in millions. This list is an attempt to put the relative sizes of such things in perspective.

Please feel free to contribute to the list. Citing your sources is strongly encouraged (you can see how to do that when you edit the page). Everything is measured in millions, even things which are significantly larger or smaller than one million.
