Let me check it tonight once I have the file available, may be a silly mistake since J5's figures are on the same sheet as well as some music videos, ...

Hi Emiliano! Bryan Adams is being treated right now. Then probably TLC & BTS! A bit of everything 🙂

Hi dhhd! I'm not seeing this 25.69 million figure, where is it that I can explain if needed?

Hi Rell! We are now moving to Bryan Adams for the next CSPC article and TLC follow just after. R.Kelly isn't in the immediate pipeline but that would...

Hi Samsas! In these lists, they always go by lead artists only. If you take off features of Rihanna, she isn't much over Taylor in updated audio stre...

Hi Taylorstan! It's hard to tell since tracking CSPC ongoing sales of all these albums takes a lot of time, and that won't give a definite answer sin...

Hi Max! The best is to check Elvis' US album sales and US certifications, technicalities of the RIAA are explained in full there, how they work right...

Hi Rey! It's not specific to 3rd albums. It's about volume in general. A fan that purchased your first 7 albums is very likely to buy your 8th, even ...

Hi Lawyeris! Indeed you have nothing to do with Steve. I can disagree with you on many subjects but you have in fact never create multiple accounts a...

Hi Max! The RIAA has been messing with various records in their recent database. When artist name and song name is the same, awards have been often d...

Hi Jsak! I'm not sure to understand your message. Figures by market are the same as always: for individual markets, they add only albums which detail...

Hi Jsak! As you can see on albums breakdowns, no figure has been set for Brazil / Mexico / Argentina. These 863k units only includes sales of a few c...

Hi Jules! One of your wishes will be realized today itself 😉

Hi Michael! Well, the gap with older figures are certainly lower than we think it is, for several reasons. 1) For "the past", we tend to check about ...

Hi Tre! Wikipedia list is based on OCC figures which, while being official, are hugely flawed as far as historical data is concerned. Music clubs are...

Hi Michael! Updates of old articles take nearly as much time as new articles, that's why they are fairly rare. To change that though we are going to ...

It was on IFPI's own site, although they removed these lists of Platinum albums for very long. I have all them saved in a Word document. A typo in my ...

Hi Jack! Well actually no. IFPI displayed it wrongly in a late PDF, just like D'Eux at 8xP, but these supposed awards never appeared in their monthly...

Hi Geraldine! These 20 million sales for Confessions are fanciful, 100% contradicted by official IFPI data. We can't just copy / paste what is writte...

Hi Rey! You mention singles formats (physical singles, digital singles, streams), but the overall songs ranking also involves how many albums / compi...

Hi again Timber! The act naming isn't the be all and end all of it, elseway the Jackson 5 and the Jacksons would be 2 distinct groups for example, an...

Hi Timber! I must say I agree with Kris here! About the DCs: the only member people knew doesn't mean much honestly, until her solo breakthrough 95% ...

Hi Chris! No, the formula definitely does not claim 1989 got zero streams from Apple music in any given period. That's the whole meaning of an averag...

Hi dhhd! I do not focus on the main 8 markets for Asia, I always check what's available in every country. Obviously, not that long ago, without Disco...
