Hi guys!
Here is the screen shot showing Genesis’ wining this round, they are the next pick!
Don’t forget to complete / update your votes for the next one 🙂
Looking forward to Genesis!
I see Def Leppard is pretty high on the list. Huge fan back in the 80s. I suppose they are one of very few artists with 2 RIAA diamond albums but not yet analysed.
Late comers to streaming, Def Leppard did have a few hits available in re-recorded versions plus a live album (Viva! Hysteria) with significant figures. These are no longer available on Spotify.
I have these figures if interested.
Hey guys please correct 2pac billboard streaming at song sales article you put iron maiden billboard streaming
Maybe for the next few votes, keep the ones who got more than 100 votes this time and let us choose from them? I feel that too many votes get dispersed on artists that are not too important to study at the moment
2Pac arrived ! Genesis is comming !!!
Kanye has the most amount of raw votes!
hello MJD, hope you’re having a good day 🙂
how’s progress on the 2Pac analysis going? I assume we won’t wait for too long since all his albums are released post 1990. either way thanks in advance for your hard work!
Hi Padilla!
We need to complete his streams, re-check/finish the sales numbers and do the writing part, then it will be done 🙂 hopefully it will come out this weekend!
Your work is important to archivating the history of music and even public consciousness .
Trands in music indicated the changes in people minds .
We must know what it was , who and how did it .
Thank you for that !
Hi all,
Just a small notice to inform that we can detect scam votes, so no need to spam us with fake accounts to get Xuxa treated. If it continues, all her votes will be removed and set back to 0.
Where are The Jonas Brothers. As of 2013, they have sold 17 million albums worldwide.They need to have a streaming masters and CSPC post.
How many among the artists yet to be studied do you think have a shot at being in the 100 mln EAS club?
On the CSPC requests leaderboard about 20 , i think . Among all probably 50 .
There are 11 artists in the 4 category. Which are the only ones that got a shot so the number is likely lower than 11. There could be more surprises like Hendrix still.
Can you please add the jazz legend Ella Fitzgerald.
