The request system
For many years we have been digging into sales figures of all-time best sellers. Our CSPC list is more and more complete, but top artists are still overdue.
To give more visibility to upcoming articles, we decided to make the choice of next CSPC artists entirely up to you.
The aim is to be comprehensive among top sellers, so we fixed a list of artists who need to be treated.
How do we define these artists? We have set these limits of expected results:
- over 50 million CSPC sales
- over 30 million CSPC sales for a local artist
- over 15 million CSPC sales with a single album
This concludes on a list of 135 artists.
Silver members can assign 3 points the way they want: 3 points to 1 artist, 1 point to 3 artists, etc.
Gold members can assign 25 points up to 10 artists, while Platinum members can assign 100 points up to 10 artists as well, with a maximum per artist of 25 points.
Each artist is also assigned a factor going from 1 to 4, the highest representing the largest sellers. The target is to facilitate the truly top sellers to be treated soon enough.
Once you allocated your points, your votes will impact the leaderboard of requests which sorts artists thanks to their score, which is the multiplication of their votes with the factor of the related artist.
Once a new CSPC artist is published, the next one to be treated will be automatically the current leader of the list. Votes for him will be cleared to allow the leaderboard to keep running.
You are free to complete or update your votes as many times as you want.
Hey, can you please update Britney Spears’ sales?
pls can y’all addd nicki….
No
have you ever thought about doing study of Andrew Lloyd Webber in the same way you did a study of Lin Manuel Miranda, because I’m sure Phantom of the Opera, Cats, Joseph, Jesus Christ Superstar combined must have accounted for quite a few sales
I would say with the current disco revival that’s happening, it would only be fitting to do the Queen of Disco Donna Summer!
Can you please add Britney Spears to the list? The last time she was updated was in April of 2019. I do think her sales have gone up a bit after the vinyl releases.
Hi Jakemesome!
This list is for artists who have never been treated so far, not updates. Their sales have gone up a lot more than Britney Spears as they are starting from 0 😉
Hey
That’s okay but is there a way to request an artist that already has CSPC that hasn’t been updated in a while to be updated?
I would say don’t forget about L’Arc en Ciel the Japanese band. As far as I know they are very high selling. There are more, but it seems like you have you hands full. I’ll recommend more once you go through some of these.
Hi CD7isafan!
They have been very successful in Japan, but they fell short of the minimum criteria to be included among voting options. They would be around 25m, give or take a few millions.
Can you guys do a Nicki Minaj page for albums and song sales please?
We have an article of record sales of Bad Bunny but NOT Tina Turner, Diana Ross or Sinatra. Not even The Queen of Soul.
choices.
Hi marehardy!
I don’t think we need to downplay an artist to bump someone else. Bad Bunny can already be seen as the 3rd biggest latin artist of all-time, and has a real shot at taking over the first spot, while also becoming bigger than both Tina Turner and Diana Ross.
Sinatra is obviously way overdue, I take it that he won’t remain untreated for long as I can see him wining the poll pretty soon.
Can we get a Nicki Minaj page?
can we get nicki or we decide to be racist?
Honestly, just piss off and take your idiotic, racist stupidity with you.
