Hey! please add Dancing With the devil... The Art Of Starting Over from Demi Lovato, Who have a standard and bônus track edition. love u gays!
Are these lists complete/accurate or there might be albums that are still missing? Thanks for your hard work!
We're still adding a lot of albums, but the higher ranks should be fairly complete
you Only added Speak Now the Standard version, The deluxe edition is at 973,540,829 streams
Do any Madonna albums have a chance to appear in any year? Many of her songs have several versions in compilations, etc.
I'm not 100% sure and I know there are many albums listed that are deluxe versions, but I think the intention is just to have the streaming numbers of tracks from the standard/original release.
The other days I mentioned that a few album deluxe versions included tracks that were not originally on the standard album, as well as demos, remixes, live versions of tracks that were. I thought MJD would just remove the tracks not originally on the listed album and retain demos, remixes etc of tracks that were (as per how EAS is calculated) but instead he removed everything, just leaving the original album track listing.
It depends how deep each year goes, if they go to Top 20s or 30s, then yes she will appear but I reckon she'll struggle to get into most yearly Top 10s, with 86 or 89 the only possibilities.
At the moment, her most streamed album, 1984s Like A Virgin (including every remix, version etc) is on 416m streams, so quite a way of the #8 album, Princes Purple Rain on 587m.
Hi Martin!
Here I'm fine adding deluxe editions which add outtakes and the likes. Since contemporary releases always add several tracks after some months, I feel it would be unfair to historical albums to not add as well their deluxe reissues which include similar 'new' songs, especially since they don't bring that many streams anyway.
What we do exclude are albums which contain hits from remaining albums like 'Patience' counted on AFD, these releases are excluded.
The process on these pages is different from the one on the streaming tool. The tool recovers all distinct streams of an artist and has functions to try to agglomerate as many tracks as possible into the original albums. These functions will merge albums under some conditions, recognize titles once content between parenthesis is removed, etc.
The top annual albums process is more straight forward, we stick to original album IDs as available on Spotify database. When an album has 5, 6 or more different versions on Spotify, we set up 1 as the valid ID, which is the one with the highest number of streams that shouldn't be excluded (because of previously mentioned situations). Thus since Appetite For Destruction super deluxe is not valid, we switch to the next album version, without doing treatments "inside" of a tracklist (which would be way too complex with so many albums).
please fix the Speak Now issue, every other album in the 2010s Page is the deluxe version
I thought it might be a case of all or nothing, if there is an outside track on the deluxe version.
This could be quite messy IMO, as while we are not exactly measuring oranges against apples, it does seem as though we are measuring Braeburns vs Coxs vs Granny Smiths, if you get what I mean.
Well I don't really agree with this. When an album that barely came out has a deluxe reissue, we count it (see the last Demi or Bieber albums, they already have one). When an album is 3-12 months old (virtually 100% of the albums inside the 2020 list), we consider it valid. Why would a reissue out after 3-5-10-20 years be considered as not eligible? Because the "original tracklist" isn't that one? When every successful album in music history came out in so many versions, I don't think the myth of the original tracklist makes much sense tbh. Tons of albums didn't even had the same tracklist everywhere when they first came out even if many popular websites want us to believe that the US version is the only one which ever existed!
