Streaming Part 2 – Crazy Christmas Love
The album Crazy Love pretty much repeats the pattern of the previous three records at a slightly higher level with all songs over 3,5 million. All told, streams of its songs equal to 300,000 album sales.
Then, there is Christmas. With no track crossing 100 million so far, the album still registered enough streams to amass more than 1 million equivalent album sales, an unreal result. Right now, it is getting streams worth 10,000 album sales every day.
Can you fix Christmas numbers here, since the album and the deluxe version are separated and combined they would be near 18m sales
Hi tsaotd!
Thanks for spotting the error, it’s fixed, the album is closer to 17 million yet as 1 million of his 3 million streaming units were already part of our older numbers.
Is Christmas past 20 million already?
Hi MJD,
just wondering with various countries beginning to count streaming into their singles and albums certification, will there be double counting?
Thanks!
Hi Jeff! No, I’m following as closely as possible every chart to avoid such issues. For example, when a single goes 4xP in Italy for 200,000 downloads plus streamings, I check the share of both formats in the country to extract an estimate of downloads only. As downloads are truly disappearing now and should be gone soon, it won’t be a problem for long. I do just about the same for albums. If you check my UK album sales for all artists, you will notice shipment figures I put for last Coldplay, Justin Bieber or Drake albums were much lower… Read more »

Nice work MJD! Buble’s total results are quite impressive, surprassing the likes of other big pop stars.
Also, i noticed you haven’t done a CSPC analysis on one certain act-Female groups! Hence, i hope you will do one for TLC🙏🏽 CrazySexyCool was one of the biggest R&B albums of the 90’s with multiple successful singles. Moreover, Fanmail was a nice comeback after their 5-year hiatus. I also wonder how they compare to other R&B acts (eg. Alicia Keys)
Keep up the good work!
