45. DISC-OVERY- Tinie Tempah (29-21-26-33-39-45) 826,400

44. NOTHING BUT THE BEAT- David Guetta (90-46-36-41-44) 832,700

43. LIONESS: HIDDEN TREASURES- Amy Winehouse (31-25-31-37-43) 837,700

42. THE TRUTH ABOUT LOVE- P!nk (63-34-36-42) 854,300

41. ELEMENT OF FREEDOM- Alicia Keys (7-17-24-28-33-41) 865,400 (T/S 1,003,900)

 

One of the least interesting batches here but at least Alicia Keys can celebrate selling her millionth copy after dragging her heels but everything here is dropping with Guetta holding up best.

 

 

Shame to see The Truth About Love fall from the top 40. She really needs to release a new album. Good that Greatest Hits....So Far! will extend its top 40 run for another year at least.

40. 18 MONTHS- Calvin Harris (89-42-38-40) 873,100

39. AM- Arctic Monkeys (73-43-39) 874,400

38. MIDNIGHT MEMORIES- One Direction (45-34-38) 878,200

37. IF I CAN DREAM- Elvis Presley (NEW) 880,600

36. GREATEST HITS...SO FAR- P!nk (32-35-34-35-35-36) 885,800

 

Arctic Monkeys back on commercial form and “AM” certainly impressed at retail though the million may be slightly beyond it for many a year at least. One Direction’s second album on this chart is doing reasonably well though once they go on hiatus this may struggle, Elvis however proved the surprise seller of the festive season putting in sterling performances weekly behind Adele. Pink drops to her lowest position on this survey, still only 4 places lower than her peak.

35. COME AROUND SUNDOWN- Kings Of Leon (11-15-21-25-30-35) 910,600

34. RECOVERY- Eminem (9-16-22-26-32-34) 926,400

33. 1989- Taylor Swift (NEW) 956,700

32. UNORTHODOX JUKEBOX- Bruno Mars (30-29-32) 967,600

31. GREATEST HITS- Bon Jovi (16-30-31-29-31-31) 970,700

 

Taylor Swift is the big news here, while “Red” proved her commercial breakthrough in terms of a consistent chart force, “1989” really marks arrival in the big league, along with Bon Jovi expect these to clear the million mark this year with ease. With a new album Bruno Mars should also generate enough interest in his previous work to do it too.

 

Fantastic to see Taylor already so high after a year and a bit :wub: 1989 is definitely one of my favourites albums ever :heart: :heart:

It's unbelievable how Taylor Swift used to be nothing special here. Her self-titled second album peaked at number 81! Plus, Speak Now was only in the top 100 for a total of nine weeks! Although that's probably because country music has never been a really big deal here, even though Americans absolutely adore it

30. TAKE ME HOME- One Direction (42-24-28-30) 986,800

29. BORN TO DIE- Lana Del Rey (33-27-27-29) 991,000

28. BORN THIS WAY- Lady Gaga (18-18-22-25-28) 997,000

27. SUNNY SIDE UP- Paolo Nutini (6-14-20-23-24-27) 1,013,600 (T/S 1,824,100)

26. TALK THAT TALK- Rihanna (26-17-20-23-26) 1,039,900

 

And in those future million sellers list put Lady Gaga down who should FINALLY pass the golden mark in 2016- hurrah, Lana will probably follow in the next 24 months, we’ve also reached the current million mark with 27 artist albums currently pass that mark since 2010.

25. BABEL- Mumford & Sons (47-21-22-25) 1,101,700

24. IN CASE YOU DIDN’T KNOW- Olly Murs (34-19-18-21-24) 1,102,900

23. UP ALL NIGHT- One Direction (41-23-19-20-23) 1,105,700

22. HALCYON- Ellie Goulding (51-26-22) 1,112,500

21. WANTED ON VOYAGE- George Ezra (57-21) 1,132,900

 

“Wilder Mind” seems to be struggling for Mumford & Sons but then it has a lot to live up to with both their previous albums selling a million, “Babel” is still playing catch up however. One Direction and Ellie Goulding see their best sellers fall just short of the top 20 of the decade but they’re under 100k away so it’s doable. George Ezra however records the highest climber on the chart with the 36 place leap for “Wanted On Voyage”.

 

Both Gaga & Lana could reach the million mark this year with a good discount (plus both artists will release albums this year anyway, so new releases will generate interest in their catalogue work).

I hope George can make it to 1.2 million (4x Platinum) before his album falls out of the top 100.

Also does anyone know the sales figures for Random Access Memories? I know it's nowhere near popular enough for the chart, just curious

It'd say it's prob still below 300,000/

Quite comfortably over 400k actually! Sold 404k in 2013 and charted way into 2014.

It's unbelievable how Taylor Swift used to be nothing special here. Her self-titled second album peaked at number 81! Plus, Speak Now was only in the top 100 for a total of nine weeks! Although that's probably because country music has never been a really big deal here, even though Americans absolutely adore it

 

Tge self titled album was her first album but i do see your point she did get semi big with the release of fearless andlove story (you belong with me although peaked low was a tricklr seller) yet speak now didnt match the success even a tiny bit pf america, it was really WANGBT and IKYWT yhat pushed her to superstardom basically when she atarted standing up more for herself and in her way sticking it to the media

OMG at Take Me Home!! Their 2nd million seller :dance:

Also does anyone know the sales figures for Random Access Memories? I know it's nowhere near popular enough for the chart, just curious

Almost 470k at the end of 2015

20. LUNGS- Florence & The Machine (8-11-16-17-19-20) 1,191,000 (T/S 1,706,800)

19. TEENAGE DREAM- Katy Perry (15-12-15-16-18-19) 1,255,300

18. WHO YOU ARE- Jessie J (19-14-14-16-18) 1,267,800

17. RIGHT PLACE RIGHT TIME- Olly Murs (48-15-15-17) 1,331,800

16. DEFAMATION OF STRICKLAND BANKS- Plan B (5-8-12-13-14-16) 1,365,500

 

Oh remember the days when Katy Perry could sell a million copies of an album, or Jessie J for that matter, well let’s not remember but here they are clinging onto the top 20 for the decade. Plan B seems to have lost interest in being a popstar now, and just below him it’s Olly with his biggest album ever.

15. MYLO XYLOTO- Coldplay (13-11-11-12-15) 1,483,100

14. SIGH NO MORE- Mumford & Sons (10-10-13-12-13-14) 1,499,000 (T/S 1,651,000)

13. THE FAME/ MONSTER- Lady Gaga (3-5-9-10-11-13) 1,519,900 (T/S 2,908,900)

12. DOO WOPS AND HOOLIGANS- Bruno Mars (9-8-9-9-12) 1,682,800

11. 19- ADELE (xx-6-6-8-10-11) 1,713,800 (T/S 2,290,600)

 

So here’s Adele’s “floppiest” album, the 2.3 million selling “19”- how shameful, it’s bounded out of the top 10 along with Bruno Mars. Coldplay’s new album narrowly misses out on being here (it probably is in the top 100 now FYI) but their decade best is slipping slowly.

 

Lady Gaga almost at 3 million - though she may take a while to get there

Does anyone have any idea why 18 Months has never been given any certification? Not even a Silver one?
