thank you for your very fast and interesting answer...
My last question would be, do you have a predection for the SPS album in 1 year like 4-6 millions or more?
Have a nice afternoon

It will depend on upcoming singles! It will do over 5 million on the back of the current traction / Swallow only. Anything sustaining it further in the future will push it even higher.

People on Twitter thinks that what makes an artists a bigger seller are the records sold (album + single sales combined) but they both don’t have the same weight ($9,99-18 for albums and $1,29 for singles) that’s why CSPC exists to equate singles conveting them into albums with a 0,15 ratio. Can you confirm it?

So Rihanna for example is not a big seller... It doesn't make sense.

Hi Artpop!

These people don't care much about the reality, they just want to present things in the most misleading way to make the success of their favorite artist look better. That's why they say "according to @chartmastersorg" rather than sharing the table, because the table makes it very clear that what matters is CSPC / EDS rather than unweighted "records sold".

Hi KantClark!

How isn't she a big seller? She sold 87 million EAS as of the last update, the highest number of any act that debuted this millennim. What doesn't make sense is claiming that she is the "second best selling female artist of all-time" because of unweighted sales. If these people don't want to weight appropriately formats, then they should completely ignore streams too as by definition they are weighted "records" sold. It's just too easy to change definitions to get results fitting better with our personal wishes.

You said exactly what I wanted to say. 🙂

do you still think A Star Is Born Soundtrack will reach at least 5m CSPC? I think it could be at +2m by the end of 2018 alone. What a huge comeback !

Hi Jean!

Yes, it's the good thing with streaming, it's very linear so it will continue to climb well throughout the months!

Yeah!

Great article! She is an excellent singer.

Not "Swallow!" But cool to see Gaga rebound with this project that can boost her previous work too.

Hey MJD, would you mind doing a breakdown for both "The Remix" & "The Fame Monster"

Hi Isaiah!

About The Fame Monster, since the figure refers to the EP most sales come from the US (1675k) and Canada (165k).

About The Remix:
US: 330k
CA: 60k
BR: 90k
MX: 40k
AR: N/A (assumed 20k)
Asia: 480k
- JP: 280k
- TA: 50k
OZ: 30k
NZ: 5k
Europe: 360k
- UK: 175k
- FR: 65k
- IT,SP: 25k
- FI: 10k
- NL,SE: 5k

Wasn't it particularly succesful for a remix album ? I mean, 65k in France looks huge to me for a remix album from a non-french pop singer.
