Yeah, but you're only pointing out negatieve numbers. She actually seems quite global like Sade, just a little less in Europe. 4 albums above 10 M EAS...

I think Taylor as well as Adele has a shot to be in the all-time top 5 female artists. For Adele, her upcoming album might be pivotal for that

I can't believe 21 is actually lower on CSPC than the earlier automatic update. Other than that, brilliant of course

You may be right, but in the long run, the impact of Adele might also be just the 21 album. A lot of the sales of 25 were driven by her popularity bas...

Hello, could you explain why the total Spotify numbers of definitely maybe is higher than the total auto update? That should also include video stream...

Great article! Among the greatest of their time!

Hello, I might misunderstand this, but the daily increase (LD) of Definitely Maybe is lower than the Spotify increase. Isn't that physically impossib...

If these numbers are correct, do you think it proves that the compilation Stop the Clocks (2006) have affected MG's sales enough to re-allocate about ...

Don't know her very well, but congratulations on your 150th CSPC artist (not counting soundtracks here of course)! Can't wait for the R.E.M. article!

This is brilliant! Are you planning to extend these auto streams to artists that don't have the new format, but do have great streaming albums? Keep u...

I like it! It gives a good insight in pure single results!

I already agreed with you about fan claims and I think the data on this website can stand the test of those claims. But this website probably also ben...

That's not entirely true, in the blog about Oasis the question is raised if they're just local. Part of the analysis is to check how the sales are spr...

Well spoken! However, how do we quantify 'selling well' if we want to call an artist truly global? Isn't that also depending on how big the artist is?

Thanks! Continuing growth might change these all-time best sellers lists fundamentally over the next few decades.

I think you're right, but the crossover appeal from East to West could also give them an edge other artists lack (for now)

Probably no western artist, but BTS signals a musical equivalent to the pivot to Asia, so who knows how those big markets might be able to lift sales ...

I think MJD mentioned them in the category 'almost 50 million' a little while ago

Taylor's in the top 10 digital selling albums, you state here. In the overall list, only three artists seem to outsell her digitally: Rihanna, Eminem ...

I would think that Mariah, especially Around Music Box, was bigger in Europe than Taylor, but Swift has more endurance

Brilliant!

Of course, thanks!

Thanks for this great article! One achievement is not totally correct: he did win 3 grammy's in 73-76, but it wasn't consecutive. In '75, Paul Simon, ...

With the success of Power Up, an update of AC/DC's sales would be Interesting. Could they have reached the all-time top 10?

Thanks! I love these lists!
