I'll make a new, updated and extended graphics for the US sales, in the next few days.

[LostAvenger]

"Number Ones" should be certified Platinum, maybe 2X Platinum since it's a double album.

"Number Ones" should be certified Platinum, maybe 2X Platinum since it's a double album.

Platinum, I think.

And maybe "Icon" could be Gold including shipment? What is RIAA counting, TEA?

[BhiveDiva]

Discipline should be certified Gold.

[JeremySpears]

So I just checked Chartmasters and these should be her worldwide single sales (pure) if I got their numbers right:

Are y'all convinced? 'Cause I'm not. :-?

They seem good, you're forgetting that singles sales were low, and that she doesn't have that many global hits...

[Bojan]

They are selling tracks now, for $0.69, not singles. If we count tracks on these singles separately, it's a different story. I think that you have to sell around 300 million tracks for the revenue of 40,000,000 physical singles sold. Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not sure how much it cost back in the 90s and the 80s. $5?

[Bojan]

Unbreakable Era:

No Sleeep 225,000
Unbreakable 100,000
Dammn Baby 75,000

Are y'all convinced? 'Cause I'm not. :-?

"No Sleeep" sold 353,006 in the States, as of May 17th 2018. If he underestimated that, he could've underestimated everything.

No Sleeep (feat. J Cole) + No Sleeep (PKCZ Remix)
Digital Track Sales: 174,823

No Sleeep
Digital Track Sales: 178,183

The single was also available on 7" vinyl. Of course, that couldn't sell a lot.

ICON also sold more in the States, according to SoundScan, than worldwide, according to ChartMasters.

That is correct. He claims worldwide sales of Icon at 100,000. It's physical album has scanned over 100,000.

I find those sales questionable too
Both solo and feat version combined spent only 12 days in top 100 on itunes.

Through the 5/26 Billboard charts:

Unbreakable (album)

ALBUMS W/TEA 305,300
ALBUMS W/TEA W/SEA ON-DEMAND AUDIO 338,401
ALBUMS W/TEA W/SEA ON-DEMAND 358,633 - I think this is the total SPS figure. Not enough for Gold.

I assume these figures are official and not estimations…

Where did you get them???

I'm really surprissed with the ICON album sales/total units. It could be eligible for Gold eventually despite never charting on BB200.


If only her old labels cared to update her certifications…


@Bojan,

Regarding the "No Sleeep" sales, I think those 178,183 cover all versions of the song.

[JeremySpears]

Regarding the "No Sleeep" sales, I think those 178,183 cover all versions of the song.

Think so too and even that seems to be too much for the US alone imo. I mean how many weeks did the song spend on the Hot 100?

[Bojan]

These are official SoundScan figures. I'm not the only one getting them but I can't share the source.

And even if you ignore "No Sleeep," you can see that "Icon" sold more in the USA, according to SoundScan than worldwide, according to ChartMasters (which is still only one guy who is now trying to save his damaged reputation on Twitter because I shared this).

[madboy1]

2 weeks on hot 100

1 week in digital sales# 35

[madboy1]

Re: Janet Jackson :: Charts & Sales History

Number ones could be 1 platinun because only cd counts twice

620 physical digital...
700 streaming tracks equivalents on demand

1.320.000 ????
Platinum

.

[madboy1]

Bojan where i found this information about othet artists???

[lovedeluxe]

Re: Janet Jackson :: Charts & Sales History

I'm a little confused. Why do people keep quoting ChartMasters? I've seen the SoundScan reports as well. His facts are terribly wrong. Why do people treat it like he's THE source?

[madboy1]

Its not easy try collected information about any country like he did.
I respect your job. Coul be errors. But he try.

Many sources fails or not tell all information like newspapper or magazines or same sites.

He make estimations. Many informations is correct.

[BhiveDiva]

Re: Janet Jackson :: Charts & Sales History

Well.... focusing in this No Sleeep's sales... It seems too high for the performance that it had. How did it manage to sell the same amount of Focus' Ariana Grande for example if the last one had much better chart-run and peak in digital chart?

And about Chartmasters I think he is very accurate, sometimes he shows more sense than official sources.

There were digital cards that were "sold" on tour with purchase. That COULD be why. I'm not sure.

[nympho]

It’s pretty simple, actually.

According to what it has been posted here today with Soundscan figures:

Unbreakable (album)

ALBUM SALES: 272,488
ALBUMS W/TEA 305,300

TEA= Track Equivalent Albums
305,300 - 272,488 = 32,812

Ratio for TEA is 1/10
328,212 tracks sold from Unbreakable.

So obviously “No Sleeep” sales cannot be 353k.

@Bojan, you (or the person who gave you the info), added the track total and the song total.
Digital Tracks and Digital Songs are different charts.

[spoiler:9oabn4kl]The Hot Digital Tracks chart is a song popularity chart that ranks the best selling digital tracks in the United States according to Billboard magazine. It is not to be confused with the Hot Digital Songs chart, which combines different versions of songs for a summarized figure (for example remixes, "explicit" or "clean" versions, and/or any other alternate versions can chart separately here, whereas all versions of the same track occupy only one position on Hot Digital Songs[/spoiler:9oabn4kl]

178,183 is the song total with all its versions.


(Which means 150k sold for the rest of the tracks on the album)
