@Animefan009
Moreover, Bleach sales data from Oricon is quite different from Shueisha's.

Shueisha's data: BLEACH vol.31 1,310,000
Oricon's data: BLEACH vol.34 874,153

Ref.
Shueisha's data: Katekyo vol.18 620,000
Oricon's data: Katekyo vol.20 612,934

Oricon's numbers are extrapolated from the sales data provided by limited number of bookstores (covering about 30% of the market). So sometimes the data is inaccurate.

I meant overall sell in 2008, I know One Piece sold over 5million

Perhaps this could answer your question.

Yes!! Thank you!! Reborn had 5 volumes and Bleach had 4 volumes, that's just what I wanted to know
