Madonna used to have a large European fanbase which collected her singles, also she performed very well in the UK. But even for her, if you take off h...

I really don't see what troubles you so much. Nobody said that 334k for Lemonade is a pure sales figure, you are the one talking about that. I'll make...

Hi Jazmine! Unlike in the US, European charts never combined airplay plus CDs were cheap at the time, so when an artist had even a small amount of ar...

Hi Sarah! I suppose 3 clarifications are needed: 1) the article is from April 2) the 100k figure you state is pure units shipments estimates, the 288...

You are the only one claiming that 340k is without streams. All figures stated by the OCC since 2014 refer to comprehensive sales + streams formula. I...

Question from another article but related to Drake: Hello MJD, Drake’s Scorpion was released this week ofcourse and lots of people were very shocked ...

Hi Marc! As you may have seen through the various articles / updates formulas are constantly improved with newly identified data so in case of update...

Hi Lorrane! Not all albums have the same nature of catalog sales. Some are highly consistent like Dark Side while others rely more on huge surges tim...

Hi Lorrane! I don't have their details at hand right now since the article was done by Hernan and back then we weren't storing our data through the s...

Hi Lenda! To expect credibility it would be better to state accurate information. The 334,000 you mention is dated from February 9, 2017 chart. The e...

Hi Wayne! Sales are all based on up to date data. Original albums of ABBA have been very low catalog sellers due to compilations selling a lot. Nowad...

Yes it is! Sales are hard to tell for Asian-only releases, but it would be in the 10-25,000 units range.

Hi RLAAMJR! I hope you aren't serious with that Kevin Costner argument 😉 In any case, with Anthony we agreed for several months that to avoid neve...

Hi Fan! On the 6 was #34 of the year 1999 in Spain which suggests 160,000-ish copies sold. It missed the Top 50 in 2000, although it was certified 2x...

Hi Jsak! They are both included under the "other full length LPs" category, page 37! 🙂

Hi Stephen! Sure, the remix' breakdown is added! I haven't put the one of Dance Again because it really is below usual standards, but it sold 130,000...

Hi Jules! Yes, from the current Top 100 EAS acts, I would say only the Top 47/48 (~70m and more) has a chance to remain inside a final Top 100. This ...

Well, as usual the estimation part is a small one! The album went 4xPlatinum, 800,000 units, in 1987. Then in 1991 La Stampa published below figures: ...

Hi Beysus! Album sales (at least for international artists), are irrelevant for many years. DIL sold roughly 100,000 units there, but with B'Day / Sa...

Hi again XM! It isn't online anymore, I collected it from the time of Google News Archives. Sadly, this functionally was discontinued in 2011. You ca...

Hi XM! No, the BPI started in 1973. By then, they only allowed post-1973 sales to be awarded. That's why, for example, the Beatles' original albums w...

Hi XM! The thing is, there is "confirmed by WB" and "confirmed by WB according to fans"! I never say a true WB report statings these figures. They we...

Hi Lorrane! The album was reported at 700,000 units shipped in March 16, 1988. In June 18, 1987 already, when the success of Xuxa was the news on Jor...

Hi Nathan! We provide comparative ASR inside the article to give a rough idea of what these sales represent, but inside Data Collector's lists Soundt...
