Taylor and Drake just had a huge jump. Is this a glitch or a change in the formula?
Hi Stan!
It's not a glitch, we applied to artist totals the new weighting of the streaming platforms! Updates are not complete yet and someone like Drake will drop back once his features are fixed!
Exactly, Drake will drop massively because features make up a lot of his discography which is how it should be.
You are really doing a great work, chartmasters was already a good source to have an overall view of artist career success but the methodology had some weak points and now I think you have corrected very well. Can’t wait to see how Taylor’s, Drake, Rihanna and other artists discographies change
Thank you, I found the article outlining the changes to the formula. Sounds like it will make for some interesting updates to see how it all shakes out.
Why did Fearless and RED sales declined by millions? Is it a glitch or are you updating her already? Thanks!
Why do you remove the re-record album streaming data from fearless and red ? I don't think they should be treated as separate albums , because the original album daily streams will drop after the re-recording come out.
By the way, Taylor's pure sales should be updated
New rules has been put out ? But in the artist page , old formula is still being used...only a few artists (Dua Lipa ,Justin Bieber..) has applied new formula. When will you update Taylor's each album CSPC with the new formula?

"This is the current planning as we’ve set it a few weeks back. Obviously, depending on many factors, there can be delays or a change in the sequence, but for now that’s how we are planning it (+Bad Bunny in upcoming days):
13/05 Kendrick Lamar
20/05 Harry Styles
27/05 Dua Lipa
03/06 Post Malone
10/06 BTS
17/06 Adele
24/06 P!nk
01/07 The Weeknd
08/07 Arctic Monkeys
15/07 Billie Eilish
22/07 Imagine Dragons
29/07 Taylor Swift
05/08 Lana Del Rey
12/08 Olivia Rodrigo
19/08 Lil Nas X
26/08 Doja Cat
02/09 Coldplay
09/09 Drake
16/09 Bruno Mars
23/09 Shawn Mendes
30/09 Juice Wrld
07/10 Maroon 5
14/10 Lady Gaga
21/10 Ed Sheeran
28/10 Sam Smith
04/11 Ariana Grande
11/11 Beyonce
So far, we have a dozen of artists that we can update easily thanks to our recent automatization efforts / tools that we use in background. Our target here is to move a dozen more artists among these ‘easy’ ones (like P!nk or Beyonce), so that we can update them more frequently in the future."
Did you already apply the new formula/adjustment to Taylor Swift and The Beatles' CSPC?
And what's the rationale behind the adjustment? 🙂
I think the adjustment only applies on streaming, we will get full update for pure sales in upcoming months maybe as soon as end of July. I predict her stats will surpass 125M, ahead of everyone else that debut this century.
