She had some breakdown moments. And I doubted she will take over Celine or Mariah sales. Country singers always has tougher times to appeal to the wider global audience. Her success was already amazing and it should be prolonged. But its going to be really2 hard for country singers to produce smashing 20 million++ album sales worldwide multiple times. Btw, I also am waiting for Alanis too. I would love to hear MJD comments regarding her. I believe her breakthrough was even bigger than Britney or Madonna but after that her sales just went down and down and never recovers. It would be a really interesting article and analysis to do.
Time to update Shania Twain's CSPC ! She released a brand new album *Now* on September 29, 2017!
Hi, MJD
Since you confirmed COO now sold 35 million in pure sales, how did it jump from 33.5 million only since 2016? Its catalog sales are way less than this. Since North American, Latin American, Japanese, European and ROW(South Africa known) sales are all consistent and known, what changed the 1.5 million? It is delusional that the missed 1.5 million in Southeast Asia was founded.No reports about it online. Waiting for you reply. Thanks.
OK, I check YouTube Insights, Shania Twain was super huge in Southeast Asia. Bangkok from Thailand, Jakarta from Indonesia and Quezon City from the Philippines was her most streamed cities. The Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand and India were all inside her top 10 most streamed countries. Based on she sold well in most territories, that would suggest millions of albums sold in Southeast Asia, much bigger than the previous estimated 350k for COO. MJD, was that largely change the estimated total? You estimated it by discogs users or what? I read that COO was 9xPlatinum in Indonesia on ukmix, but the same confirmed the fake 1 million for Brazil. Don't know which is true.
Hi djdj!
I'm struggling to see where I confirmed COO has now sold 35 million pure units, can you refresh my memory somehow?
Hi,MJD
https://chartmasters.org/2019/06/adele-albums-and-songs-sales/
Here you said that COO sold over 35 million pure units
Thanks for the link, now I'm back at it! Yes, back when I wanted to compare 21 to previous blockbusters, to do it correctly I re-checked its main competition. In fact I found out that both YouTube Insights and Discogs suggest that COO did way better all over Asia than it did in Japan, relatively-speaking, while the opposite was assumed in the past since there was no tool to contradict it!
MJD u mention that no country singer ever managed to break through the international market like Shania did. But how about Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton and Olivia Newton John. I believe they were quite big globally too at some point right?
Hi MJD,
currently in physical copies it has sold the most in the world Jagged little pill o Come on over ?
