Yes! What I like with ATRL-type fanatics is that at least they are creative! If only they would use this creativity to more relevant works than making...

Hi "That's the Tea"! What about: let's not pretend that the entire world is filled with childish people who want "tea" day in day out and can't get t...

Hi Michael! Once again, both records are already included, just like Genie Gets Her Wish, Just To Be Free, Stripped Live, etc. They are all inside th...

Hi but! I'll answer to a larger question about which sources are reliable or not, since it's clear that a lot of people is highly misinterpreting the...

Hi but! I can't read the content as I'm not an ATRL member. Anyway, that board is a monstrous flow of delusion, it's filled with fanatics who feed th...

Hi Marta! We constantly review every figure, the point is not to look at new sales and add to former estimates while in-between new data emerges show...

Hi djdj! Columns have been mixed, LA column here points to sales in other Latin American countries, outside of Brazil / Mexico! That's only visual ...

Hi RLAAMJR! Please, not that dumb Celine-fanatical argument of "if you don't count Titanic for her, you should exclude all soundtracks to all singers...

Hi Michael! I suppose that before getting into childish fanatical comments you would better read the article correctly! All her releases up to the da...

Hi Luke! Not sure which figures you refer to for Shallow, also for old BTW / Artpop figures. They are both in the rise actually, although locally som...

Hi Pierre! As I mentioned I surely messed the ASR calculation, that will be verified! About ASIB, the thing is that streaming adds a lot but throug...

Hi Kant Clark! Considering it shipped 6.8 million by the end of 2011 and 900,000 units of them got returned, it no doubt underperformed in regards to...

Hi Eric! It's all explained in the initial phase of the article, orphan stands for songs issued outside of studio albums, these are stand-alone singl...

Hi kid1111! Pure sales in Latin America are really in life support phase now. There it is all about streaming already. Joanne for example was #52 of ...

Hi Mariandtime! Yes, that's correct 🙂

Hi Marta! Anthony who handles it is on vacations at the moment so I took over filling in the information to get the ASR. I was myself surprised by th...

Hi Anik! There is some adjustments in these numbers, but yes streams were already counted so most of the increase comes from new sales/streams!

Hi Brit! We work with net shipment to date. At times, albums fail to sell their initial shipment and many copies are returned to the label. If the ce...

Hi djdj, thanks for this new information, very helpful as usual!

Hi djdj! Well there is no reason to expect the promo book to follow Billboard, and Billboard themselves happened to change what they meant by Asia-Pa...

Hi Christoffer! RIAJ certs are very, very rarely updated. Dookie has been a tremendous catalog seller for many years. Even albums like Insomniac, Nim...

Hi Anik! This doesn't consider the fact that remaining artists too must be updated. Whitney Houston is safe at over 61m if entirely updated, Van Hale...

Your supposition doesn't work. Firstly, they don't write 9 Plat countries, they say 4 Plat and 5 3xP or more for BOMT, and 4 and 5 2xP or more for Oop...

Hi Michael! I wasn't mentioning flop singles but indeed true hits. Both Yeah and Crazy In Love come from an era where "feature" wasn't meaning the sa...
