Black album has now surpassed 5 billion streams on Spotify.

That´s very nice, but i´m personally more interested in the pure sales of albums.

Today Drake surpassed Metallica, which doesn't make me happy at all 🙁

Well they sold quite an awful lot of pure copies of their albums since their CSPC, they are certainly ahead still ; although it's just a matter of time!

So someone believes that these results are absolutely accurate. It's getting a bit neurotic now. Not a good day.

174 144 000 - 1 246 000 = 172 898 000 EAS

@mikko If you have a more accurate list, everyone would be very interested

1. @mikko Well, the streaming numbers, for the most part are but I think some do forget these are estimates and quote them as absolute and some do seem to see and treat all this, like a football league table. 

These are the best, but I tried to express something else.

I fixed the 1m drop due to incomplete streams. Also, as I'm publishing the best-selling metal acts very soon, I updated their studio album sales 🙂

PS: it's way more annoying to update compilation album sales (I still need to develop a solid backend feature for that), so these were left out, but consider that with S&M2 (560k sold pure) and the remaining products, they are running 1m higher than their updated tally still.

PS2: A similar update was done for Linkin Park.

I think I understand what you mean, but I don't think Meca meant what you assumed either 😉

I'm sure he knows numbers aren't exact; it's more of a trivia game. The same way a fan will be happy to see an album go Diamond by RIAA and people will say it has sold 10m, while it may have been there for years, and could be hundreds of thousands of copies ahead already.
