Hey MJD,
Does this mean that a rihanna update is coming? She was one of the first artists you analyzed and has had huge success since.
Will you do Pentatonix anytime soon? Christmas is coming, it would be a great post!
I think that for not publishing any analysis apart from Taylor Swift update, I think it will soon be published very early or coming soon a great artist (singer or group).
I hope Queen !!!
Hey MJD,
I am very impressed with your works after reading several analyses. Keep up the excellent work. I have several requests, which are:
1. I think it would be better if you put an extra page about the total album (all types) sales per country. I don't know if you have included this particular page on every artist as I've only seen it on Nirvana and Pink Floyd. It is fascinating to add this page since the readers can see which country generates the most sales and primary markets for the artists.
2. I would like to see the analyses of these following artists:
- AC/DC
- Elton John
- Pearl Jam
- Queen
- Oasis
- Radiohead
- Red Hot Chilli Peppers
I know it's a lot of work, but it will be great to find out how the published artists compete with their contemporaries. I look forward to reading the in-depth analyses of the artists mentioned above. Good luck!
Hey! I think some asian sales for both the continent and some countries are missing on some of her albums.
Hello MR. Do you have the info about Madonna's DVD/Blu-Ray & 2CDs WW please?
Hello MR. Do you Have info about Madonna's Rebel Heart Tour DVD - Blu-Ray and 2CDs Sales WW Please?
How could Love Story sold 11,700,000,even combined downloads and ringtones?It can't have sold more than Katy's California Gurls.California Gurls had sold 6,700,000 pure with ringtones in 2010 according to IFPI,about 8,000,000 downloads without ringtones in countries which have specific numbers according to Wiki and reached #1 in over 10 countries;Love Story had sold 6,500,000 pure with ringtones in 2009 according to IFPI,about 7,500,000 downloads in countries which have specific numbers according to Wiki and reached top 10 in less than 20 countries.So I think Love Sory would never outsold California Gurls,whatever with ringtones or only downloads.If Love Story has sold 11,700,000,California Gurls has sold over 12,000,000?Don't think it is possible.
Hi LMAO!
The case of Love Story was raised on the first version of the article. It sold 6,5 million units from Dec 2008 to Nov 2009 as per the IFPI while scanning only 2,92 million in the US during the same period. It's receipts were fairly weak elsewhere during that time, suggesting nearly 3 million sales for the two biggest off the radar avenues, e.g. US ringtones (where it went Platinum) and South Korean downloads. It was indeed massive in this latter country as it sold an estimated 750,000 units there since 2010. Figures of Taylor are now fairly safe and validated, perfectly in line with the amount confirmed by the IFPI two years ago of 130 million downloads.
As previously mentioned, early articles from mid-2016 under-estimated 2008-2010 singles that were big in Asia, Katy Perry will be revised by the end of her current era and if a gap is noticed it will be fixed.
Hi Al!
Only figures backed by enough information are explicitely mentioned but all countries are estimated in order to build the Asian and Worldwide totals.
I think you under-estimated Shake It Off.It had sold 7.8m with streams in 2014 according to IFPI(#14,didn't in the top 10),but taylor was off on-demand audio streams(Spotify) and IFPI units didn't Include video streams in that time,so I think it might have sold 7.5m pure in 2014.It had sold 3.43m pure downloads in US in 2014 according to Nielsen Soundscan and now 5.2m,so about 1.8m pure downloads without ringtones in US since January 2015.I estimated at 4m with ringtones worldwide.7.5m+4m=11.5m.
