hi dear MJD
here the situation in Italy is really very difficult because of Covid 19 or coronavirus, luckily there is your site that distracts us from bad thoughts,
now my pleasure would be nice to see articles by famous Italian artists also in France such as Eros Ramazzotti, Zucchero Fornaciari, Laura Pausini and Andrea Bocelli, would it be possible?
I hope you will answer me dear friend

Thank you so much, MJD!

What are your sources for knowing accurately the digital songs sales? Thanks

Considering that IFPI end-year list confirms pure sales for ASIB at 3.1M until 2019, and supposing that it sold about 0.2M this year, we can assume that the pure sales total is around 3.3M. Besides that, the album streams increased more than 400M since this MJD analysis, and that means more ~0.4M CSPC units. So the CSPC total must be near by 6.8M.

Actually the Spotify streams have increased more than 600M (when the analysis were made the album had 2B streams, now it counts 2,68B). So the CSPC total is around 7M

It's not true that she struggled to get hits after Judas.

The Edge of Glory was a international hit.

Hi, MJD
Can you provide the year-end chart of 2010 for downloads in Korea with figures? Gaon website didn't provide figures. And I wonder if there were still lots of ringtones at that time which were never counted.

They exist in the web archive actually, here you go: https://web.archive.org/web/20110309025548/http://www.gaonchart.co.kr/main/section/notice/view.gaon?idx=39

I'm surprised the original sold so much during 2010, #25 would be around 1.6 million I guess. #48 in 2011 for The Fame Monster would be around 1 million.

I must say, I have a very hard time considering TFM as one single album, even Gaga herself said the EP should be considered her 2nd album...

Can you please do update?

Could it be that she totalled the combined pure album sales & EAS of it's singles so she just simply said it's already 20 million?

Can you please update that a few months after her album? The singles with Ariana and blackpink will be hits and the album is slaying

How can she have 10,040,000 streams if she has 9.400.000 on youtube only? what about spotify? Does it need to be fixed?

Those 10 million are her total streaming sales, not streams.

i got it thanks
 

I Think The Fame only sold at least 12-13 million albums

I don't think that some of these numbers might be right. For example, the IFPI reported that ARTPOP sold 2.3M only in 2013, yet here the numbers are lower.

Hi Raul!

Artpop shipped 2.3 million in 2013, as shown by the IFPI data. It isn't inconsistent with figures presented here. Instead, it means retail sales were lower back then, which resulted on returned copies. There are many cases like this one especially for hyped and / or Q4 releases.

Could you please update her sales with Chromatica and Rain On Me?

The fame monsters ep sales aren't included with The Fame. The Single CD EP sold around 2.3 million copies ww. It was only sold in the U.s, Canada, and some select countries. The 15 million copies include The Fame (2008) and The Fame/Monster double disc (2009). The fame was also a good catalog seller, so a lot of it sales were from 2011 and further. It always re-enters the charts.

Nope x6 plat 💀 recent RIAA update

TF + TFM did not outsell thriller u little fagsters are so embarrassing 💀

In the same way that The Fame/The Fame Monster are combined, would Kesha's Animal and Cannibal be considered a single era?

ASIB 3 milion WW? hahaha no no no.

please update all information, so much has changed for example ASIB has sold ~10M equivalent copies ww as of now, and she has a whole new album!
