2020 YTD thread - United States

Yes, the H.E.R. album debuted @ #13 on the R&B/Hip-Hop week 35 sales chart selling 1,200. It dropped out of the chart the following week, and never re-charted. Sales at this time for the #50 album on that chart were in the 300-350 range. I'd guess total sales at around 5,000 by the end of the year.

The Bon Iver album is in the 2019 db, and sold around 40,000 in 2019.

oldbloke , you are a "wonder" thank you very much. i'm doing research on albums that were nominated for Grammy's AOTY, that's why I was asking

oldbloke In Monday's Country Weekly Billboard had I Hope's download total up to 513k units & 431.1 Million Audio ODS. I thought that you might like BBs update at the end of 2020. I assume BB probably has access to things us commoners don't.

A DANGEROUS TOP 20

Wrong Thread...

[oldbloke]

Hello Oldbloke,

Do you Have an only Catalog Sales Chart.

This is the top 100 of albums released before 2019 - as I've said before, the estimates are based on the weekly charts, and it's easily possible particularly with catalog titles for an album to accumulate 50,000+ sales in the year without actually charting.

Hello Oldbloke,

Do you have An Hardrockmetal only Chart.

I don't - the demise of the Billboard sales based genre charts made this impossible along with all the other genre YTD lists.

[oldbloke]

Hello Oldbloke,

You Count vinyl and Cd seperate? So thriller having sold 200,000+ together?

No - the album sales list includes CD, Vinyl, Music Cassette and Digital Sales - the Vinyl List I posted was an official list posted on the HITS website. Below are the top 10 physical and digital album lists from the MRC data report...

The digital songs list is on page 52.

I don't know if there was a physical single issued, which may explain the difference

I don't have a catalog song sales listing - since we lost the kworb weekly estimates in December 2019, it's almost impossible to track song sales beyond the published top 50. I guess you could look at sales in previous years to come up with guesstimates for 2020 - Enter Sandman digital sales in 2019 were around 65,000, so it likely sold somewhere in the 50,000-60,000 range last year.

The soundtracks Rocketman and The Dirt didn't chart in 2020 - I'd guess they both sold in the 10,000-15,000 range. The latest Metallica album sold 109,000 and is #66 on the year end list - it did around 128,000 SPS.

[hardrockfan]

Thanks for explaining. Do you have an Total for enter sandman? Could you make for 2017 for exsample when worb and billioard gerne were still published?

[oldbloke]

Thanks for explaining. Do you have an Total for enter sandman? Could you make for 2017 for exsample when worb and billioard gerne were still published?

Hello. I’m just wondering if you’re going to post album and single sales today? Thank you

[thebigham]

^oldbloke usually waits ~6 weeks to post the new 2021 YTD chart thread.

Until then, you can follow the YTD chart done by HITS:

https://hitsdailydouble.com/ytd_project_activity

[brianc33710]

oldbloke I see that the RIAA just certified Theory Of A Deadman's "Rx Medicate" 2×P here in the US even though that song never charted on the Hot 100. Since The Sound Of Silence has ranked ahead of Rx all but a bit of 2019, TSOS is probably 4×P eligible.

[Zak.ari.329]

Th sk you for the reply! I was wondering why you stopped posting. Thank you for the hard work.
I was just wondering if you have the pure sales for Chromatica and evermore/Folklore? Ty
