How much has streaming helped the album?

 

Are the majority of it’s sales from streams or are the physical sales fairly strong too.

Thanks AJ!!!

 

I’m pleasantly surprised that the albums sold over 200K pure copies! I thought the sales / streams difference was gonna be much greater.

 

I’m guessing when the album first come out it was doing better on sales and now it’s the other way around where it’s streaming what’s helping it out.

A decent amount of pure sales considering the album has long since been inflated from streaming by the 10 singles the album has! :lol:

The albums now spent 100 weeks in the UK Top 40 :heart:

 

(non consecutive) but an amazing achievement non the less.

 

It’s never left the top 75 since release though.

‘Blow Your Mind’ is now Platinum in the UK! So all nine of her certified singles from her first era are at least Platinum!

Confirmation that 'Be the One' is a 'millionaire'.

I know the album's nearly 3 years old and had plenty of singles that became streaming hits but it's quite remarkable it has reached multi-platinum in this day and age, especially with never having particularly high weekly sales at any point which is usually what is required in order to reach such a certification. Looking back, its highest weekly sale was its debut week which was only 16k.

A very interesting fact there!

 

I imagined it might’ve peaked in sales either 2017 or 2018 Xmas time shocked it was actually debut week!

 

 

Thank you Liam for the information. The OP was updated. ^_^

 

As a side note, I can't wait to see her self-titled debut album to be certified double platinum. :dance:

She must have at least over 10m single sales overall in the UK. Don't think there have been any recent lists for artists with the most singles sales but, back in 2012, Madonna, Rihanna and Kylie were the only females to have 10m+ single sales. Of course, these were sales only, but I imagine Dua would still be in the Top 10 if you were to compile an overall female list today.
