Hi KantClark! While I would agree on this example (that Janet isn't local), that argument doesn't work out. You can't say someone is global by rankin...

Hi Wayne! What's inaccurate is all these good old claims coming out of nowhere and repeated online by lazy journalists who just pick the first thing ...

Hi Colosoul! It seems accuracy isn't your thing. Your message basically says that Janet's albums are undercertified because of non-Soundscan sales (w...

Hi Colosoul! Surely you should care more about certifications and accurate receipts than wild claims posted on sites which have nothing to do with ...

Hi Jane! The figure listed here is up to date as of the date of the article. The OCC figure is inaccurate. This case has been treated in our article ...

My bad Dhhd, I'm completely flooded with work lately and this question got out of my mind. I just checked, the real total is 25.69 million, and the fi...

Hi Dhhd! Indeed no Gaon chart back then so we are down to estimates based on former IFPI numbers, popularity metrics from the likes YT plus ongoing c...

Hi Minerva! It seems a nerve was hit since you get into childish comments. Can't you speak as an adult, without getting into nonsense, putting fake c...

Hi Lucy! You need to consider that downloads market in 2007 was still fairly weak, so most big hits from that time still got most of their downloads ...

Hi Minerva! It's very wrong to apply old comments to a situation that is now getting sorted but that was previously a huge mess. To exclude the first...

Hi Xavier! When there is a large gap between retail sales and shipments it's only logical that some copies are shipped back. It happens very frequent...

Hi Kris! Haven't noticed it was still on auto mode, gonna change it from now on 🙂

Hi Jsak! Iron Maiden did extremelly well in many countries, and I wouldn't rule out the possibility that they outsold Metallica in one market or anot...

Hi DHdhhp! Just like for MJ, I'll give you the details once I access my files tonight. As a general remark yet the RIAA certifications for legacy son...

True Michael! At the end of the day, 50 million EAS is 50 million persons giving you $12 to listen to your work. It's incredibly amazing. People are ...

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...
