Hi Alan! I think that most younger acts are covered. From now on, we will mostly focus on classic acts. As soon as the Spotify-rewind articles are do...

Hi SBSB! Well, not that much. They've got 1999/2001 in common, so 2003/2004 really compares with BSB's 1996/1997 and these were similar markets. Sale...

Welcome! No figure leaked for it so far! As for every market where this is the case, I used 1989 sales divided by 3,7 for it. That's the average drop...

Hi SBSB! Michael clearly refers to the golden years of both acts. BSB's albums from 1996 to 2001 shifted a combined 74,8 million pure album sales wit...

Hi Darius! Yes of course, Red is set on 80,000 units in China, 1989 on 140,000 units. These are unseen figures in China since Susan Boyle as far as i...

Well SHJ, these cases are precisely the ones that we can't value with charts. Britney / BSB were outdoing remaining international artists by massive m...

That's it Michael! There is no doubt that Britney was huge in Latin America and Asia in her early years, but the BSB were even bigger. They collapsed...

Hi Rii! It's great to hear that, there is definitely a lot of priceless albums in this list of best from the 70s. Many will be surprised to recognize...

Hi Jean! Yes, it's the good thing with streaming, it's very linear so it will continue to climb well throughout the months!

Hi Orange! I suppose MusicFan has 6 albums in mind. Jackson's fans tend to be fans of 'his' albums, the ones he had an artistic input in, so startin...

Hi Jay! I don't think it is needed to bring Frank Sinatra in 100% of your comments / tweets. Keep in mind rule #9 😉

Hi Luca! It's still on 200 million so really strong, it has time to recover and join these monster albums!

Hi Trond! Breakfast in America made our initial "working list", and also the second draft list made of albums that required to check every version to...

Hi Zantiago! At least you are funny 😉 let's clarify some facts: 1) No, her label never stated Let Go sold 20 million pure album sales. 2) Yes, the ...

Hi Tre! It's really hard to make a rough guess - it's typically the kind of album that fueled zillions of releases. It sold maybe 2 million pure unit...

Hi KantClark! How isn't she a big seller? She sold 87 million EAS as of the last update, the highest number of any act that debuted this millennim. W...

Hi Artpop! These people don't care much about the reality, they just want to present things in the most misleading way to make the success of their f...

Hi Orange! It would be difficult to do it on foreign languages. The usage of Spotify is different by region, so we can't mix them, and there may not ...

Hi Rell! Yes, very possibly. It must be said that Romanza was a compilation (it is often believed to be a studio album because in various countries t...

Hi Christoffer! Sadly a Muse CSPC isn't on the books. Paul McCartney (winner of the last poll) and Bjork (from the winner of the prediction game) are...

Hi Zantiago! Let's get real, these figures don't even make sense. They are ridiculously inflated. Start by checking legitimate sources, most notably ...

Hi Orange! Yes, it sold 888k pure units in its first two weeks. Not sure it will do that well in the long run (except in the run of Christmas of cour...
