"I was expecting the black album just below Appetite for destruction." Well it's not very far (2.7b vs 3.1b), actually 2.7b is also the total of th...

Best selling metal albums : 1. Metallica - Metallica : 32m 2. Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory : 22m 3. Evanescence - Fallen : 17m 4. Metallica - ......

Californication was released in 1999 and peaked in 2000, obviously a huge advantage compared to a 1991 album when it comes to streaming. Morning Gl...

System Of A Down also started making music in the 20th century. I don't think it's a good idea though, for example The Notorious B.I.G.'s streams a...

Yeah it's possible that Under The Bridge's popularity is partly explained by the Chilis' massive success during the 1999-2006 period, so even though t...

Californication was released in the summer of 2000 though, the album is from 1999 but I think the most important thing is when did these songs became ...

No it's not "understandable" that HIStory would be the only double album counted twice, and you don't know how much it would've sold without the GH. ...

"4) we consider that 19m persons bought a compilation and also a studio album, which actually happen to be nothing but the truth." Of course, peopl...

I didn't mean to sound "suspicious", but surely you understand that not answering to a two months old post and then a two weeks old similar post might...

I really think this double counting of HIStory deserves an explanation, and by the way Clockingbell asked the same question in the MJ thread two month...

Can't wait for Eminemfan posting in the Prince thread "Horrible stats for someone to be known as rival of MJ back then". He already did that with J...

Actually MJ didn't invent double albums, there were others before like Pink Floyd's The Wall for example. Do you think all of these albums should be c...

I just realized that HIStory is counted twice in MJ's total (18.6m in "Studio Album Sales" + 18.6m in "Other LPs Sales") which is like saying it's the...

I'm just quoting the "Raw sales - All albums" list from this very website : 1. The Beatles – 333,145,000 (as of Mar 2017) 2. Elvis Presley – 244,4...

Elvis sold more albums and more singles than MJ, which is what matters in the end (to me). MJ's total includes about 30m of "music videos" (such as...

"Records" doesn't mean anything, combining albums and digital singles is ridiculous, don't you think ? And I'm pretty sure most people consider The...

You are indeed too optimistic, Queen were already hugely popular before the movie while Elvis is more in the league of a David Bowie for example. A...

Madonna and U2 were also all over the radio and they have less streams than him (if you include Genesis).

Chicago is a debatable case, I guess their best known songs from that era (Hard To Say I'm Sorry and You're The Inspiration) aren't really AOR so you ...

I would extend that period to 1987 considering Def Leppard's Hysteria (12xp) and Heart's Bad Animals (3xp) were released that year, with Heart also ha...

OK so The Chronic's streaming numbers are indeed not very impressive, if it had been available before 2020 I'm guessing its least streamed song would ...

Most listened to 90s rap albums (based on their least streamed song) : Dr. Dre - 2001 : 18m Eminem - The Slim Shady LP : 18m Nas - Illmatic : 16m...

The Beastie Boys would be around Lil Wayne's level I think, and Snoop and 50 Cent would be above Nicki. Also let's not forget about the Black Eyed Pea...

So you agree that "everybody knows 2Pac in Brazil" was a little hyperbolic then...

So it is a guess then, OK. I think it's misleading though, it implies that AEOM is the Sgt. Peppers of hip-hop or something which is obviously not tru...
