Wow, let me update all the data so that he tops the Beatles! 🙂 Come on Geraldine, believing everything you read won't make you any favor. Arguying H...

Hi Geraldine! I would suggest you to check the data like Soundscan rather than simply assuming that sales keep climbing at an heavy pace once the pro...

Hi Nuno! It seems you missunderstood my comment. I wasn't judging her touring stats, only stating that the last time (of the 90s) TIC has been inside...

Hi again Nuno! A small correction: the singles criteria was downgraded at the start of 1989 in the US, not at the end of it. Express Yourself went Go...

Hi Nuno! Video singles have been added to physical singles. Maxi singles have been counted as 1, and that for example means that Vogue sold well unde...

Hi Nuno! The same 10 countries are always used because of their representativeness added to the availability of their data. As for European sales, ...

Hi Geo! A lot of stuff is tagged as "official data" coming from labels, but a lot of it is just made up by fans, even more when it touches Britney si...

Hi djdj! Weird message if I'm honest, it's like you are trying to contradict me with my figures and mentioning that we should care about the market s...

Hi G.G.! To be 100% honest there is no plan to update Janet in the near future as her total wouldn't change as much as other older articles like Emin...

Hi but! I'll re-check detailed Oricon / imports data as well as certs list we have for her, but I wouldn't give too much credit to these claims, for ...

Hi Pepper! Well first I have to say that I know you are Antonhy, a former user banned quite a long time ago for repetitive spamming / insistent reque...

Hi Casimir! You resumed it quite well. 50 Cent is the biggest among missing ones. Then there is a few successful eras to add, Susan Boyle, Gwen Stefa...

Well djdj, the Beatles are definitely way more popular in the US / UK than they are in China, India, and Africa. It isn't as if these markets don't ma...

Well spotted Henry, we will fix these typos!

It's a tricky case, it would require additional checks. Without getting into detailed data I would guess that Gaga had a higher peak but cumulatively ...

Hi djdj! Oricon used to count them as part of album charts, more recently I saw some in singles rankings. On our CSPCs we put them in singles listing...

Hi Pepper! There is an update of Amy Winehouse which is almost completed (% wise she will increase very very nicely), the one of Eminem is ongoing, t...

Oops djdj, I'm late there! I happen to answer comments on a distinct computer, so I never have my files here and then when getting home it comes out o...

Hi djdj! How do you define "big"? The thing is, if she had the exact same sales in Europe, but sales similar to Demi Lovato (no disrecpect) elsewhere...

Hi Xavier! Your comment has various interesting and valid arguments so don't fall into these pointless fan-war conclusions yo uain't serving your poi...

Hi all! Let's try to be realistic on these kind of discussions. It only generates fights to make dubious claims like Taylor is a nobody in SK. Same w...

Hi djdj! A pair of years ago, before the Discogs era, physical singles were treated all together. Now, we added a weight column for physical singles ...

Hi Kiki! These figures for both UK and Denmark include a share of streaming, data shown in album sales breakdowns are pure units. The date of update ...

Hi djdj! It went 3xP in 2004 🙂 It's entered on their database with following information: [CD] TSO O Guarda-Costas Diversos Intérpretes 2004 - BMG...
