Original Album Sales – Comments
For someone who went solo at nearly 34, after completing an entire group career, to constantly score 3+ million sellers for another 18 years is incredible. Both The Dream of the Blue Turtles and …Nothing Like the Sunwere strong sellers with sales coming close to 10 million a piece. The latter did so with just under 3.5 million in the US and in the UK, combined. The singer went on to be super massive in many unexpected markets. In Italy, his albums used to shift in excess of half a million uni...
Physical Singles Sales
As a reminder, the weighting is done with a 10 to 3 ratio between one album and one physical single. The quartet of singles issued physically in 1985/1986 from The Dream of the Blue Turtleswere all top 20 in the US, securing decent sales in general. The strongest performer was the #3 hit If You Love Somebody Set Them Free, although it was a more modest performer elsewhere, like in the UK with a #26 position. This was enough to top 1 million sales in total, but Russians still sold easily more...
Digital Songs
As a reminder, the weighting is done with a 10 to 1,5 ratio between one album and one digital single. It’s clear that Sting has no monster track that drives his catalog. Indeed, his strongest download is his feature on Money For Nothing. He still reaches 1 million with 4 legacy hits, twice more than The Police. Fields of Gold is his strongest in North America, while both Shape of My Heart and Englishman in New York break past 1 million in good part thanks to healthy sales in South Korea. In f...
Streaming
Streaming is made up of audio and video streams. Our CSPC methodology includes both to better reflect the real popularity of each track. The main source of data for each avenue is respectively Spotify and YouTube. To factor in the growing impact of multiple Asian countries where these platforms aren’t always the go-to site for music streaming, more sources have been added. In order to account for their real popularity in each relevant country, the below sources have been used along with the m...
It sounds fairly logical to add together weighted sales of one era – studio album, physical singles, downloads, streams – to get the full picture of an album’s popularity. For older releases though, they also generate sales of various live, music videos and compilation albums. All those packaging-only records do not create value, they exploit the v...
