Hi Mjd!Do you know Jagged little pill's Turkey sales or any guess?That album was huge
I was surprised to see that Head Over Feet has sold more pure album sales than Come On Over album because I've been checking different sites and Come On Over figures always showed higher than Head Over Feet album.
Im not surprised though that Come On Over album is bigger than Head Over Feet album "EAS-wise" because the album is way bigger in the USA than Head Over Feet.
Alanis releasing a new album in the future should help her Head Over Feet album get more streams.
Is Jagged Little Pill the best selling album released by a Canadian artist then?
Alanis is One-Album wonder. Still, surprisingly she is a little more successful than Lady Gaga or Shakira.
I don't think it's totally fair to call her a one-album wonder when she had a big hit with " Thank U" from her second album and the album's total CSCP really isn't that bad. 8 million CSPC = hit album. It isn't a MONSTER album like JLP, but 8 M is still success. Plus I just checked her spotify and "Thank U" is her 4th most listened to song, showing there is still some lasting impact from her second album.
Do J.Lo next, please! She is the only big diva that is missing. I want to see if she has bigger results than Kylie Minogue and Xtina.
Thank you very much!
I know she hasn't sold a quarter of what Alanis has sold (which isn't even that much) but will we ever get a chance to have a Bjork CSPC article ? She's a very different kind of artist, she's on an independent label and doesn't seek huge popularity but there are many stories about her sales in her own country, in Japan and in the UK where she once was pretty big.
Hi Kris!
The issue is that most of these 8 million units weren't achieved by SFIJ's merits, but instead thanks to the fan base created by Jagged Little Pill. We can't ignore expectations and investments when speaking about a flop. There is a lot of movies that grossed a lot, but nobody will call them successful since they failed to produce a positive ROI. It's the same for albums, be sure that nobody at Mavericks was happy with SFIJ's sales!
Hi Chrysalynne Lingling!
Well, both JLP and COO sold virtually the same. At this level of sales, it's impossible to commit when the gap is so tiny, let's just say they are both on top 😉
Hi Bren!
Turkey was absent from the list of countries where JLP was certified as provided by Billboard in 1999. We must say that the Gold criteria, at 50,000 for international albums, was very hard to reach. Usually, we can point out a 25 to 1 ratio between Germany and Turkey, so calculations that we use to estimate Turkey in the absence of certifications give it slgihtly over 40k from this market!
You are so right. But I actually just knew that Alanis and Shania (esp Shania whom I really really thought was an american because country music was always being mention when talking about her) in the 2000s through internet.
Oh and with regard to Canadians who are currently rocking the charts worldwide, yeah Drake and Justin are the most popular canadian music artists but The Weekend and Shawn Mendes deserve to be mentioned too. 🙂
I hope Canada will give us a new and young female artist in the near future.
The sales of Now is the Time are different on page 5 and 12, which one is the correct?
Hi Jorge!
It's the one on page 12, the typo is now fixed, thanks!
