Hi guys, expecially MJD that's the mostinforme. However as Ialways repeat, amazing job. I only have a question. I’m an Aerosmith fan. Is it possible that at this growning rate, maybe If we also add steve tyler solo album from 2016, they will reach a total equivalent amount of 140 m in the next 5 years ? Thank you very much for your job and an answer.

You probably refers to the phisical copies, because the streaming ones seems to be daily updated Dan. But probablyh I'm wrong. i hope so. Love them so much 🙂 Dear workes, I know you have lot more to say than answer to two pour boys ( MJD and MARTIN, but what is your opinion?) Hopefully. I fold my hands in prayer :,D a bit of irony doesn't hurt. Thank you again.

When artists are re-analyzed, then it means that their physical and digital sales are updated -> increased. Streaming figures are updated daily. If you want to know which artists are going to be re-analyzed in the near future, then go to CSPC requests leaderboard. Each member can vote for artists to be re-analyzed.

Based on previous updates, the numbers tend to climb by at least 10%, usually more. It happened with pretty much all updates (Queen jumped from 241 to 264, Metallica jumped from 140+ to 160+, Eminem, and lately, Mariah Carey).
The updates analyzed with the current set of tools and scripts (and data sources), compared to the ones used in 2017 during the initial analysis.

Hi Dan!

I don't think we can make it a general rule, these artists climbed about 9% but for distinct reasons. Queen sold bucketloads after Bohemian Rhapsody. Mariah Carey was missing ringtones, youtube and her former figures had a couple of flaws which appeared to be mostly in the same side. Eminem's streaming ratio is more favorable than the former default average.

Aerosmith ratio is actually lower than the previous average. Applying the new formula to their old numbers decreases their streaming numbers by about 10% (of course to know real results we would need to dig all platforms). They released nothing since mid-2018 and got no special boost. Their main 'extra' would come from minor compilations which were poorly tracked pre-Discogs era. Their file contains 14 mostly local comps estimated at a total of 200k units, these definitely sold more, and several of them are actually box sets that should go to multiple albums. That won't make a 10% difference though. Then it's down to the quality of former estimates.

It's simply hard to tell without re-digging it all. What's safe to say is that with streams, there's no stress on Aerosmith reaching 140m or not, it's just a matter of time, the question is are they already there, or do they need a couple of years to reach the mark. But it's already a given.
