Yes, I agree. Removing "Other LPs" from overall EAS, will in most cases decrease the number of studio albums an artist has over 20m, not increase it. ...

I had a check, as I was just going of the top of my head originally and Madonna had an original article, in the very first format, way back in June 20...

Hi mate, maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but how can The Beatles be the only major artist, done prior to using Discogs, if artists such as Led Zeppeli...

Wonderwall hasn't been streaming that well against the other top pre 2000 tracks, for the past few years. It was actually the most streamed Pre 2000 t...

Well, yes and no. BR (2.746B) is still over 600m ahead of Wonderwall (2.136B) and Don't Stop Believing (2.139B), but so far this year, both have been ...

Yes you did. You said "Obv no country goes crazy for anyone", which by default means that if someone says "the whole country has went crazy", that is ...

She is insanely successful and easily the biggest music artist around, which I've said numerous times previously.

One stream or any amount of streams was, is and never will be equal to a sale, they are two different things! Get this idiotic MTV thing out of your...

How was it unfair, the top 4 artists of all time, all started many years prior to MTV, two of them didn't even exist by the time MTV came around. Pi...

It is hyperbole, the whole country did not go crazy yesterday, it's about being honest, why say the country went crazy about her yesterday, when it qu...

Streaming hasn't changed the game, it's a completely new game, a different game. I think streaming is a far better and for the most part transparent ...

Our governments are official organisations and I certainly do not believe in or trust everything they do or say.

No, as we were still measuring the same thing, music sales. The industry has changed over the years from singles, to vinyl albums, cassettes, then CDs...

The press around her in the UK has definitely picked up over the past year, before that, what I wrote was correct

Shouldn't believe everything you read in the papers, the hyperbole is ridiculous. Britain didn't come to a standstill yesterday, with the whole countr...

For me, it's not about downplaying current artists success, it's that it's just not truly comparable with success from the 80s. It's like comparing ho...

To you maybe, to a lot of people they don't. I personally, along with many others who have an interest in charts and sales, have always had issues wit...

What is wrong with bringing it here, where we talk about the industry and it's practices? Are we supposed to just agree and go along with everything t...

But it's not the album that is being successful, it's, it's tracks. You can have a hugely successful album from the physical era, critically accla...

His point was, having successful and popular tracks, is as important, as having successful albums. I'd go as far to say, it's all that matters. Most p...

What goes the same for them, compared to those acts? Could you be more specific, it could be all manner of things, from the above stats. Then again...

Yes, kind of like, AC/DC has more listeners but perhaps less fans, say people who just want to hear HTH, BIB, YSMANL, HV, Thunderstruck etc, whereas M...

Yes, that's a good point, about someone buying a physical copy and also streaming the album and both being counted. In the physical era, it would ...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is doxxing not, searching for and publishing private information on the internet, with malicious intent. I respond throug...

It's not that clear cut, geographical location played a big part in what was available to you in the 80s. For instance, MTV was predominantly a US thi...
