Hi Paul!
You can "laugh long and hard", that will only show that you are disrespectful on top of ignorant over this subject. It's good to repeat what you have been reading on old press again and again like these 4-5m UK sales claims for Sgt Pepper or 500,000 copies every year in the US alone for DSOTM, it's better to actually inform yourself. Just to let you know, the latter album sold 155,000 copies in its best selling year over the last 5 years, although its total units moved are fairly higher thanks to the "modern album sales" that you "cannot take seriously".
Mariah is not safe from Taylor Swift.
Taylor sells about 5 to 8 million every year with no new album.
Taylor will eventually outsell Mariah.
With new album apparently coming and her streaming stats r great too , considering how she released them there. I think she gonna set atleast female record in streaming and gonna do 10 to 12 million in pure sales. And overall 20 million sps. By this year end, she can be over 100 million and by next year over 110 million
it's getting much much harder to hit 10m pure sales with one album, but I'm really curious how is she gonna perform if the album is released on streaming instantly
10-12M pure sales when hits 1M already is a HUGE accomplishment? Please, don’t be delusional!!!!
This is about all the combined data from physical units all the way to streaming. Streaming is a fairly new factor yet it has already made a huge impact. It's very clear that you are in your 30s or 40s considering people like you love to complain about modern life that you don't know were able to help you.
How m i delusional? Nov dec peak sales season and half of 25. 25 sold 60% of 21. If next sells half of 25, it is over 10 million. With streaming she can do overall 20 million sps by 2022 end.
Adele can do amazing on streaming.
I think you are right. If anyone can achieve 10 mln in pure sales at all, it will be Adele. However, the album must be good and the whole campaign must click.
I see a pattern with 21 and 25. She went inactive for 4 years with 21 until 25. She's rumoured to release her album this month so that's a whole 6 years inactivity from 25.
Reports says 25 type promotion is planned for next. And last time promo was on spot. Adele's fansbase is tv watching audience mostly and youth streams her. So she clicks on both front. Just need a hello type smash!
If these numbers are correct, do you think it proves that the compilation Stop the Clocks (2006) have affected MG's sales enough to re-allocate about 60 or 70 per cent of its sales to Morning Glory, as this website does? I mean, sales are going down fast from 2005 to 2006, but 2005 was extraordinary good, and the market as a whole was declining those years.
So easy on me coming soon. And if it smashes both on sales and streaming. If song connects like hello, She can do 20 million sps ( 10 million pure sales or even more as Xmas sales boost ) or even more, if it shatters streaming numbers. That will take her total to 110 to 115 million plus and with catalog streams, sales. She will be over 120 million plus by 2024. That is like an average of 30 million per era. Just incredible. She does it so casually lol! Actually the true music industry without effort and pr!
It will certainly be interesting to see how the new material does. I have a sneaking suspicion she may have waited too long for the album to be a hit on anything like the same scale as her previous two. Also, the physical music market (her major strength previously) has truly collapsed since '25' was released in 2015. We'll see how much traction she gets on streaming services and if this can make up some of the difference...
I think she will become a streaming force as from the perspective of my own life a lot of young people have been rediscovering her in anticipation of her new album and i’ve never met anyone under 40 who doesn’t like her. But that might just be in my life
I think whilst her physical sales will be incredible (the biggest of the year), they will be a lot lower than expected, but she will transfer to streaming massively
I think she will be a monster on streaming this era. Her previous albums have big numbers and still great daily gains. That being said, without the physical sales market, this is likely going to be a big drop off in sales for her.
I remember a few years ago MJD wrote an article that predicted where she will likely end up in overall SPS, and I think the most likely scenario was in the 15-17M range for the album.
I agree. I really can't see 10M pure sales happening like the previous user suggested. I think 5M would be considered huge in today's market. Also because streams take longer to accumulate than sales, It will take years to really see how big the album will be in the end.
That was 3 years ago though. I'm not sure if it gained or lost. But surely it'll get 17m EAS in a short time
Lmao your pr queen isn't. Her pr moves won't make her one . She ran away when she knew adele is releasing on 19th. And she doesn't affect other artists success sales. How that girl is an industry? Adele doesnt need cheap pr like that rich daddy's girl
stop being annoying, bringing all that stan twitter nonsense here, this is a blog for data nerds not stan wars...
Youtube, streams, movies, concerts, tv-series, radio air play and physical sales. And then you can count sales. I think movies is most important, or will be. There is big money, not in youtube.
You may be right, but in the long run, the impact of Adele might also be just the 21 album. A lot of the sales of 25 were driven by her popularity based on 21. Her new album should prove her endurance, which Taylor Swift has already shown
You have to adjust with times. Remember when record sales existed , where people added digital with albums, it inflated record sales and saying celine ,whitney got outsold by new girls, which was wrong.. At same time, new girls lost album market due to downloads.
That's why equivalent method is best. So we can see the revenue system to determine biggest artists.
With this we got 2 female artists of 21st century to cross 100 million equivalent album sales and Adele will be 3rd with best average. Infact even without 4th album, she will achieve it this decade. They get among top 10 best selling women artists, which is huge feat!
