[jszmiles]

oh no, Dua will lose #5

[braindeadpj]

Looks like with the last chart of the year, ABBA will overtake Olivia and probably break 400,000 while Queen will probably overtake Dua Lipa.

Looks like with the last chart of the year, ABBA will overtake Olivia and probably break 400,000 while Queen will probably overtake Dua Lipa.

Both these have happened.

[Nameless]

You have under-estimated Voyage. It has sold over 400k.

From Music Week

In the top three throughout its career thus far, = was behind 30 in all of the week’s sales flashes but emerged victorious even though its consumption of 24,178 units (9,991 CDs, 1,095 vinyl, 2,275 digital downloads, five cassettes and 10,812 from sales-equivalent streams) was its lowest yet.

Dipping 1-2 (23,755 sales), 30 achieves platinum certification, with a to-date tally of 600,056 sales ensuring that it is the No.1 album of 2021, with = (432,495 sales) in second place and Abba’s Voyage – which eases 3-4 (11,518 sales) in the latest frame - finishing third (400,475 sales).

[Leviathan]

Yay! Thank you so much for all the work you've done throughout the year.

MOD EDIT: removed the huge and unnecessary quote.

[brian05]

Why quote the complete Top 100 table? Senseless.

[taylorunion13]

Vidcapper bestie, the year-end top 100 consumption is based on chart-only unit or including unit when album not charting?

[britneylinda]

Leviathan please don't quote long posts.

[kingofskiffle]

Yay! Thank you so much for all the work you've done throughout the year.

MOD EDIT: removed the huge and unnecessary quote.

Note that quoting long posts is not the done thing and continuing to do so will result in infractions.

And to everybody else, please just flag with a moderation and we will deal with this.

I am terribly sorry, I just wanted to quote the message at the top but didn't know how. I'll be more careful next time.

[Celine]

Hi.

ESTIMATES FOR CELINE "MY LOVE - ESSENTIAL COLLECTION"?

PLEASE.

[jszmiles]

Thanks Vid!

Little correction should be done in Buble's album's total

[Henrique Leal Vianna]

Is any information about Led Zeppelin album sales?

thanks

[divinedhammer]

Nevermind sold 1.8 million in 2006 maybe.
2021 it still sold 1.89 million coppies?
Does anybody know what happened?

[Robbie]

Nevermind sold 1.8 million in 2006 maybe.
2021 it still sold 1.89 million coppies?
Does anybody know what happened?

The 1.89 million sales are sales from 1 February 1994 which is when the current chart compilers took over chart compilation duties from Gallup. I don't know what its overall sales (including pre-1994) are but it's going to be in excess of 2m.
