In records and achievements Starboy is said to be the 3rd most successful album from 2016. Obviously Drake- Views is no. 1, but what is no. 2?

Shouldn't Trilogy 1.005 million pure copies be divided among HOB, T and EOS? It seems you count the same 1.005 million copies 3x.

Hi Robinson!
"Trilogy" is a box that contains the mixtapes "House of Balloons", "Thursday" and "Echoes of Silence". So, each time someone buys one unit of "Trilogy", he buys one unit of each of these mixtapes. That's why it is counted this way.

I made this reasoning after I posted my question, but I found an article published at Billboard before its release reporting it would be priced as a single cd, even though it topped 30 songs: https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/the-juice/474219/the-weeknd-reps-talk-clearing-samples-touring-for-trilogy-release

Knowing that, I think that counting it as a triple album is a misrepresentation, but I can understand your choice.

Hi Robinson!

These mixtapes were available to download for free during many months, that's why they couldn't price it in full from one day to another. Considering the 8 million free downloads are completely overlooked, I think the least we can do is valuying each album from the box as a sale. Also, most 2-3-5 CD boxes for remaining artists are fairly cheap, for example recently Phil Collins' Take A Look At Me Now (8 albums) and Dire Straits' The Studio Albums 1978-1991 (6 albums) have been selling very well in the UK, they are/were available at £15 each!

Abel’s hit 50m and Starboy’s hit 10, and I think After Hours could potentially surpass both Starboy and even BBtM in the next few years

Dawn FM numbers are disappointing to say the least

also you mistakenly added trilogy to the graph on top of the article

Nobody expected another after hours but yup still disappointing. I guess his whole catalogue is still doing massive numbers so people don't only focus on the newer stuff

very disappointing.. especially after such huge hit, it proves that hits don't guarantee anything

Can you update Justin Timberlake? His last update was in 2018.
