Unless there is a glitch, I guess it must be because no one has used the Spotify Search Tool for his streams, since the 7th April.

I agree and I've often said, considering how huge Madonnas star was and how universal she was, that her current popularity is very, very disappointing...

In all fairness, there is next to nothing between Madonna and Houston on Spotify and over 500m towards Houstons total, comes from the posthumous Highe...

Let’s face it, she neither streams or sells fantastically well and hasn’t for many, many years now. So, why would we specifically concentrate on and u...

No, it's completely down to streaming. Sure, adding vinyl sales helps, but regardless of all the headlines about increases in vinyl sales, they are no...

Female only. If Taylor were to reach Striesands and Houstons CSPC totals, there would probably still be at least 16 male solo acts and bands, with hig...

That maybe true but she just didn't have the widespread appeal that Houston did or does, in the UK. Artists like Houston, Madonna and Kylie became hou...

I think Carey and Dion are particularly huge with certain demographics, especially gay men, while others such as straight men, have little to no inter...

Tina Turner was also very popular in the UK. Although she is far less successful overall than either Dion or Carey, her music and personality seemed t...

Yes, I'm from the UK and the only tracks I can recall being aware of, when they were contemporary, were her debut Vision of Love, Without You and that...

Looking at the versions I can see on Spotify, none of them have passed 1B streams, the highest version is the one included here on 932M. From what I...

Yes, that is because as you can see, the version which has been included here is the Deluxe Version (or at least 1 of them), which does not include th...

Ideally, she should just have one version, with both the original and Taylor version being added together but as it's an automatic process, I'm not su...

They represent an unstudied artists, expected CSPC total, with 4 being given to artists with the highest expected totals and 1 to artists with the low...

Because it is a compilation album and only studio albums are included.

I can't imagine an update would add any great amounts to his current (90m) total, considering his streams are updated daily within the Artist Ranking ...

It is surprising but if that's where he is, that's where he is and it's not as if he's unknown to BBs, he is known by 97% of them.

Again, how successful an artist is, does not determine how recognisable they are.

I do live there and I'd say her life turns up in the tabloids far more often than Jacksons. The past few months she's been in the spotlight again, due...

Yes, I get that time and effort is the key to it all and in most cases it wont alter things that drastically but it still means not every album is equ...

What is YouGov Ratings?YouGov Ratings measures the popularity and fame of anything and everything, based on millions of responses from the British pub...

I think you've also missed my point Al. My point is purely that, not all albums, that are included, are being measured equally. I guess it needs man...

Some poll etc many years ago, that was published in the UK press suggested that Marley was the most recognisable musician on a wordwide basis. Not the...

I think you've missed my point. My point is that, not all albums listed will be equal, some will have super deluxe/deluxe etc versions included becau...

I thought it might be a case of all or nothing, if there is an outside track on the deluxe version. This could be quite messy IMO, as while we are n...
