First of all, i think you messed up the year lol, it really feels like 2020 but we are in 2021.
United Worldwide Chart uses a weird methodology and excludes album/song units of every country that doesn't have an official chart (China, for example, one of the biggest music markets in the world). So it's not really a reliable source when it comes to album/song sales. (Maybe for first weeks?, it's still quite inaccurate)

Mediatraffic is a fraud and it uses weird SPS so neither of those sold that much pure. Secondly this was updated seven months ago so DSAM definitely has less than 700k pure sales. Did you look at the graph which shows total CSPC? Both albums already have higher numbers than Mediatraffic or you said...
You clearly don't know anything about charts, so don't even start... You should take a lesson about PURE SALES and SPS. MediaTraffic is not reliable to begin with, secondly they don't use pure sales which he was talking about (IFPI reported pure only before 2021)
can you add the auto-stream to billie, post malone, kendrick and shawn mendes’ articles please?
Question about the LD figures. For the past week (and in general besides earlier last month when 1989 had songs go TikTok viral), WWAFA,WDWG has been outstreaming 1989 daily on Spotify. Yet, 1989 is always shown as gaining more on LD.
ex:
1989 Spotify yesterday - 3,193,519
WWAFA,WDWG Spotify yesterday - 3,487,814
1989 LD - 4,810
WWAFA,WDWG LD - 4,150
How is it possible that you guys have 1989 gaining significantly more than WWAFA,WDWG, when the latter is outstreaming on Spotify. Isn't Spotify the only platform you guys use for autoupdates?
Hi Binderella!
The auto updates do use exclusively the new Spotify streams, but they weight them according to the streaming ratios verified during the last CSPC.
Say Asian audio platforms and YouTube added 20% EAS on top of the standard Spotify conversion we use for WWAFA,WDWG, then LD will be 3,487,814 * 310/207 * 1.2. If 1989 records an additional 50% EAS from remaining platforms, then it will be 3,193,519 * 310/207 * 1.5. That's how 1989 ends up ahead as it's so big on Asian platforms and YouTube.
Damn, Happier Than Ever really is a massive decline from her first two projects. That 2M figure from streaming includes all the pre-release singles too which went on for over a year before the album came out. Currently the only song doing anything on streaming is the title track. As a whole the era will be lucky to cross 5 million CSPC. She really messed up by focusing too much on songs that talk about her issues with fame. She's having the same problem Gaga had circa ARTPOP.
More her lack of singing talent is clear to everyone now. Her so called edgy appeal went out of fashion like Gaga's.
But LG had massive vocal talent to come back and performance skills. Billie was awarded for mediocre mumbling. New gen of streaming girls really cant sing. ( ariana debuted in digital age )
some people value people who make music more than people who simply sing songs. Just because someone’s focus isn’t vocals doesn’t mean they can’t sing
