Hi Kris! That's very true. We tend to link the technology (here streaming) with the evolution of music formats, but in truth albums would be dying ri...

Hi Steven! There is no bias against Christina and many people here can confirm you I'm certainly no fan of Britney. Who someone listens to or not doe...

Hi Nathan! I'm reluctant at studiying Nicki because her downloads / ringtones will be a nightmare to compile. That being said, the worst remaining is...

Hi Cass! Yes, it favors album era artists... that's why the top 3 debuted in 1969 or earlier 😉 You refered multiple times to the word "fact", isn'...

Cass, your claims are just false as I already stated. It's pointless to look at the population without factoring in the competition and promotion chan...

Cass, you are completely missing the point. Arguying that more people implies automatically more sales is nonsense. Afro Americans was just one obviou...

Hi Cass! The population is a fact, that Presley (or Bing or anyone else) would have sell to proportionally as many people if the country was bigger i...

Hi Lance! I'll add that page 🙂 In the meantime, the Beatles did 168,27 million albums in the US!

Once again Jazmine, with ifs we can re-write the story in both sides one hundred times. During Elvis' prime had there been a higher population and rec...

Yes Kwjw, both his article and the data collector have been adjusted accordingly 🙂

Hi Brandon/Cass! Ifs rarely work very well. Had Jackson released more albums, he would have sold less per album. Had Elvis released at a time of high...

Hi Brandon! That's a fact - it scanned 1,2 million since its previous RIAA cert. It doesn't go beyond that though. New sales are only one way of achi...

Hi Kwjw! Thanks for the nice words 🙂 Thanks also for pointing out that miss! In the copy step, when I put all my albums' figures into Anthony's mac...

Hi Jake! Legend is regarded as a solo LP just like Purple Rain and Born in the U.S.A. 🙂

Hi Androdita! I suppose you refer to Santa Baby. The song is already listed inside the orphan songs with 360,000 downloads.

Hi Che1967! Thanks to you and all others for the very nice words, it's always appreciated 😉

Hi RLAAMJR! Nope, its discs are original discs so it is counted as one new package rather than 3 albums packaged together!

Hi Lance! As I just said on my previous comment, Sinatra has a slight chance of making the Top 10. About box sets, they are tricky! I already wante...

Hi Brenn! In terms of pure, physical, unweighted sales, yes, he sold more than any other solo artist! Crosby should challenge him in terms of physic...

Hi Brandon, Charts & sales is a jigsaw much harder to understand that it seems. You haven't prove a thing there - your message is full of notable...

Hi Stephon! It's debatable. It depends if we add both Elvis' Christmas Album versions (from 1957 & 1970) together or not. The latter is a reissue...

I agree with Donald. I wouldn't even say Jackson topped Elvis, to be honest 11 million at this level is nothing, under 4% of their sales, that's a vir...

Hi Tom! Yes I did, Moody Blue was insanely successful in Norway. As a general trend, I increased default calculations for Europe in order to accoun...

They come just behind, George Michael / Wham! are at 14,835 million while Dire Straits stand at 14,15 million.
