"In US Led Zeppelin is more powerful then Queen ." For what it's worth, 69% of Americans have a positive opinion of Queen against 68% for Led Zeppe...

At some point it was true that Led Zeppelin sold more albums than Queen but not anymore, especially since the movie. And of course Queen are much bigg...

Just because Taylor is crushing everybody doesn't mean the others aren't doing fine, western acts on Spotify (daily streams as lead) : Taylor Swift...

Yeah but it includes translated versions like the 1m-selling Japanese one for example, to me they're not the same albums... A similar case would be Th...

Closing in : Taylor Swift - Cruel Summer 2.8m Post Malone - Sunflower 2.7m Tyler The Creator - See You Again 2.5m

Yeah, AM's streams must have quadrupled since 2018 (when Tranquility was released). If we're just looking at the biggest flops "on release", Subtra...

The Lion King by far, twice more pure sales (18m vs 9m) and a little more EAS from singles and streaming for Frozen (maybe 2m).

Substract's failure is spectacular indeed ahthough there are similar cases recently, you have the Arctic Monkey's Tranquility album (1.1m compared to ...

Oh she also has two songs in the 2000s top 5 : Coldplay - Yellow 1.7m Coldplay - Viva La Vida 1.6m Eminem - Mockingbird 1.5m Taylor Swift - You ...

To Love You More was a monster hit in Japan (2nd best selling international single ever) but overall she "only" sold 7m albums vs. 10m for Madonna, de...

8 albums out of 50 isn't exactly "on par" though... If we just focus on the top sellers, something clearly changed in the mid-90s when it became t...

Madonna had way more success than Whitney and Céline in Asia... You're right about Mariah though (20m albums vs. 30m).

I'd say the mid-90s, with Céline, Mariah, Shania, Alanis...etc., before that it was still largely male dominated I think, despite a couple of megastar...

MJD never said "many divas' global hits are very popular on other platforms"...etc., and the list you mentioned combines audio and video streams which...

Martin is a Led Zeppelin fan, I don't think he would praise the Grammys 😆

"Popular" means popular, again no one cares about 90% of these "Album of the year" while most of critics' favorite albums are very popular. And so ...

The vast majority of "Album of the year" at the Grammys are completely forgotten today and the opposite is true for critics, just look at the list I p...

Critics can be very useful if you're interested in non-mainstream music, while the "meaningful" Grammys you mentioned are an absolute joke, their list...
