Setting up accurate best selling artists listsFor decades, marketing tricks from labels and lack of education from media led to various myths about the best selling artists of all-time getting repeated so often that the general public assumed it was true.
Today, the same lack of education on the matter continues to be a pain for accuracy lovers. Most of these lists floating around online are either a flat list of RIAA certifications, which are given only on-request, sparsely for many artists, and relate to the US only, or a mere sum of all certifications from all countries, adding together apples and oranges by mixing distinct formats and different national streaming conversion methods.
To solve this flawed answers, we introduced several years ago the Commensure Sales to Popularity Concept (CSPC).
If you are not familiar with this concept, it consists in retrieving sales figures from every format and weighting them on par with album sales. That’s what we call equivalent album sales, or simply CSPC units.
In doing so, we grant that comparisons between artists from different periods make sense, unlike lists based on raw records totals.
The method also secures that the same formula is applied to all artists, avoiding issues related to the varying conversion rate used for streaming in different markets as well as by most labels on their communications.
When applying this concept to an artist, our team go into the tank, analyzing all data available, from charts, certifications, internal reports, or official scanning systems. Through the years, we developed various methods to fill the holes, backing all numbers on meaningful indicators. In-between, we also undercover thousands of receipts.
To make everything as transparent as it gets, all figures for sales have been detailed on each artist article, available through the link under their name. Dates of updates, both for sales and for streams, are shown too.
The column ‘Other LPs’ includes long formats made of already released material like greatest hits compilations, box sets, live records, bootlegs, and music videos.
Digital singles include both downloads and ringtones. Streaming units include both audio and video streams.
Obviously, digging into the catalog of an artist takes time. It would be easy to simply copy/paste RIAA’s most certified artists list in a minute, in our case the largest discographies require several weeks of study, with several people involved.
Most top selling artists have been studied by now, but some are still missing. The main ones are Frank Sinatra, Neil Diamond and Eric Clapton.
These omissions are listed on this page, which enables users to vote for the next pick. As soon as a new CSPC article is released, the leader of the requests list gets treated. You can vote too.
As part of our process to get all artists treated at the same time, we have been implementing tools to automatically keep numbers up to date every day whenever it is possible.
As we also developed a tool to retrieve updated Spotify streams by artist, we are able to increase accordingly the streaming units of artists part of our all-time best selling artists leaderboard.
