Hi! With Nicki and Diana posted, Def Leppard win this new round of voting. It was a close call with EXO and Jay-Z!

Hi Sebastian! You conveniently ignore both downloads and YouTube views where she does wonders. She has got tons of million sellers, add for 93m even ...

It's always 100% for lead artists, and 50% divided into all featuring acts (so if only 1 is there, he gets 50%, but if there are 4 features, he gets 1...

Hi Princess! It goes on to show that these certifications are mostly irrelevant. The album gets 4m of its units from downloads, which are excluded fr...

Hi Queenofraptangz! Super Bass is over 5.1m with US downloads alone, almost 5.4m with ringtones, so it doesn't much that much from elsewhere really...

Hi Samlay! As mentioned below, she is one of 2 featured acts, so she gets half of 50% of its units, i.e. 25%. That's why it isn't higher on her lis...

Hi CMdigger! We do not do these calls, that would be just way too much work with dubious calls to make. We use exclusively Spotify's artists pages....

Hi Tommy! She would be at almost exactly 70m CSPC without weightings for features. Kinda show it is much needed as despite her great success all ar...

Just a small precision Gdhdhdgddlunddo, Smiley mentioned twelve month periods rather than a year. On calendar years, Taylor is definitely outdoing MJ ...

No doubt! The article was updated less than 18 months ago, and the album hasn't been charted inside the US album sales chart since last February. It a...

Hi Christian! There has been no recertification or whatever, just a claim out of thin air, as mentioned by the Guinness themselves. "Madonna, 65, sa...

Hi Chip! Thanks for the nice words 🙂 I've done a round of validations for new tracks over 500 million, 14 additions in a few days only, including ...

Hi Rick! Glad you appreciate the work that has been put into this article! About Dancing Queen, it wasn't released when this post was completed, so t...

Hi all! With Depeche Mode online, Nicki Minaj wins this round. As Diana Ross comes close again (and as it works well for us too), we are going to ...

I agree with the Eagles, HC is definitely not country, if we throw every Americana/Folk record in the country basket then we will also need to add Rum...

Hi Tim! Incredibly they never got even a Gold cert in Australia, even if they do have some of their top sellers eligible for this award. We have inte...
