Taylor Swift 488 tracks, Metallica 1048!!!!!!!! But are we sure, I believe you, they have high numbers...

How do you explain Led Zeppelin's low Spotify sales, compared to such a high number of physical copies? I saw that Adele's 25 was also a less success...

For me, 25 is a more successful album than 1989 because no streaming figure can possibly exceed 10 million additional physical copies. That said, if w...

Have you ever made a ranking of only digital albums for each artist?

Which artists did you consider? Above I see Bob Marley mentioned as an example, but here he doesn't.

In my opinion, in relation to sales, they should have a higher number of followers

How much less do you think Metallica would have sold in physical albums if they had released one gh for every three decades from the 80s to 2000?

Also Total eas - only studio albums = % in comparison

Total eas - Any physical album =%

@martin You should subtract the physical copies from the EAS total, and use that data to calculate the percentage.

So ...And Justice for All has sold over 16 million physical copies solely on One because I don't think the general public knows much about the rest of...

Ok but Paranoid is a metal album, it was in reference to the fact that metal listeners prefer the physical album format

Crazy how Paranoid has such a high eas value despite a comparatively low number of physical copies, the average listener definitely preferred the gh

Another unflattering record for Metallica: if you take away the black album, the EAS value of each album adds very little to the physical copies.

It's no coincidenze that Nirvana and Guns N'Roses songs are accompanied by promotional videos, making them quote popular with the new generations...

I disagree. When the distance is so minimal, double the number of albums is a factor to take into account. The bands you mentioned are sidereal distan...

17 albums vs 9, there might even be a slight advantage

I mean, AC/DC is much closer to Metallica on Spotify than Metallica is on the EAS chart.

I'd say that given the distance, AC/DC will be much quicker to overtake them on Spotify.

Taylor Swift has the highest overall grossing tour (followed in that order by the Stones, U2, Coldplay, Springsteen, and Elton John), but the key poin...

I found another bogus Metallica statistic: they're the seventh-highest-grossing artist from touring overall ($1.68 billion in 39 tours), ahead of the ...

We don't understand each other. They don't because they didn't experience the decades of greatest box office and live success, while AC/DC did.

We'll never know, Led Zeppelin and the Beatles broke up prematurely, unlike the Stones. Pink Floyd's highest-grossing tours, even compared to U2, are...

Obviously for the general public, put U2 in the 60s or 70s and they can only dream of the live numbers they did in the 90s or 2000s.

People before the 80s didn't have a live concert mentality yet, and U2 certainly wouldn't have had the same numbers back then.
