Yep, I haven't check in detail this example, but studio albums are updated 'one by one', while for artist totals it uses the career streams totals' ev...

Cliff is added, along with Frenchman Francis Cabrel, Cyndi Lauper, Carole King, Linda Ronstadt, Herb Alpert and George Strait.

If entirely studied tomorrow, numbers would likely change in a way similar than when we update 2016/2017 articles, maybe a bit less. Numbers are nowhe...
