Yes Tom, Santana is coming 🙂 Hopefully in the next days, but it's a heavy one!

Hi Mika! You're giving way too much importance to charts. When we talk about artists like Queen or Bob Dylan, their interest is clearly limited, it's...

Hi Kjell Arne! It's page 79. Although it was titled The King in some markets, it is the same compilation as The Essential Elvis Presley and is added ...

Hi Raul! Artpop shipped 2.3 million in 2013, as shown by the IFPI data. It isn't inconsistent with figures presented here. Instead, it means retail s...

Hi Amber! The IFPI do not count sales for the BTS, nor for anyone else. Nor they look or partner with SK charts or charts for anyone else. It's a mis...

Hi Amber! It's not about identifying downloads out of the points total, it's about the fact these "downloads" shown by Gaon aren't really downloads. ...

Hi Breno! All sales, from LPs to CDs, were considered. Numbers displayed here are already absolute great results for Brazil, the band was heavily pop...

Hi Robinson! As western chart followers we have the bad habit of looking at western download charts only when it comes to digital sales. For album sa...

Hi Jorge! To be honest I don't see why women should be discriminated positively. I'm sure if we look at the average CSPC of female artists studied it...

Hi Nathan! A lot of his records include Police songs on top of The Very Best Of Sting & the Police, like Symphonicities, My Songs, Live In Berlin...

Hi Rell! Yes, Sting will be published next!!

Hi Kjell Arne! It's not about screaming "fake news!", a la POTUS, everytime we read something that doesn't please us. The point is to understand corr...

Hi Britneybts! It's explained with the formula, streams in remaining platforms are extrapolated from Genie numbers, with a formula that is consistent...

Exactly Michael! As I explained many times, Billboard are reporters, they are not a source. Their accuracy entirely relies on who they are citing. Wh...
