~~~~~~~~~~

 

'Sweetener' makes it to 100 weeks in the Top 200 just one week sooner than 'thank u, next' will.

 

'thank u, next' will have overtaken 'Dangerous Woman' total sales on 1st January, to become Ariana's second best selling album!

Thanks Jay! Fantastic for 'thank u, next' - love that it climbed to #69 this week :kink:

 

A great week for Ari, look at this:

 

@1347564970964180993

 

:wub: 'Stuck With U' was #100 on the best selling singles of the year list so 'positions' must've been sooo close! After just 2 months of release *.*

...ooh even more good news on the BPI website, '34+35' has been certified silver too ^_^

Excellent news :wub: I need to update the list of her certifications!

Singles Certifications Update

 

I've attempted to put most of the singles in order of best selling.

 

Some of the most recently known sales are over a year old. This is why the sales I've written below look to be out of order (for instance 'no tears left to cry' - 1,278,404, ahead of 'thank u, next' - 1,440,000).

 

In October 2020, OCC provided us with this best sellers list, which means we know that:

 

'no tears left to cry' was ahead of 'thank u, next', therefore 'no tears left to cry' had sold more than 1.44m

'Dangerous Woman' was ahead of 'Break Free', therefore 'Dangerous Woman' had sold more than 837k

Otherwise, we know that 'God is a woman' had sold less than 808k (which is what 'break up...' has sold), but more than 735k because that is how much 'Rain on Me' had sold by 16th October. 'Problem' obviously must still be ahead of 'Santa Tell Me'.

 

I assume that 'Stuck with U' (Gold on 25th Dec 2020) will have already passed 'boyfriend' sales total (Gold on 11th Dec 2020)

 

I'm sure a few of the 200,000 sellers have currently sold more than 34+35, but I've placed 34+35 above them all due to a lack of information. All the 200,000+ sellers are listed in the order of least recently certified, to most recently certified.

:cheeseblock:

 

I've attempted some estimates, but please take these with a pinch of salt! I've probably overestimated. As of 8th January 2021:

 

1,107,000 - Problem

855,000 - Break Free

588,000 - Love Me Harder

370,000 - Everyday

356,000 - The Way

 

Bed and Focus must be getting quite close to 400,000 :thinking:

 

Could God is a woman have exceeded 800,000?

 

I assume Dangerous Woman must be somewhere between 850k to 900k - I have a feeling it might still be slightly ahead of Rain on Me.

 

We really need a no tears left to cry update! Can it please overtake Bang Bang x

Thanks so much for the update! :D

 

 

WOOOOWW!! Is all I can say. I'm pretty shocked 'Focus' isn't Gold already, I imagine it would have been long ago if it was included on an album. They should have tacked it onto the end of 'My Everything' or as a streaming bonus track to 'Dangerous Woman'.

What a stacked certifications list :cheeseblock: thank you again Jay!

 

Fully here for 'no tears left to cry' overtaking 'Bang Bang' :kink: that and 'One Last Time', regarded as two of her best on here, being her top 2 sellers would be quite something *.* slightly making up for the "her #1s aren't representative of her best songs" sentiment if those two are actually outselling.

15th January update!

'34+35' spends its 10th week in the Top 20, making it 1 of only 4 Ariana singles to manage that long! Of course most of her biggest hits since 2017 went no further than 9 weeks because of ACR coming into effect, which is an artificial restriction. Nevertheless it's great to see 34+35 avoid ACR and achieve this longevity. Ariana's longest time in the Top 20 is 13 weeks with 'Bang Bang'. I wonder if '34+35' could outdo this? :o

 

Weeks in the Top 20:

 

13 - Bang Bang

12 - Side to Side / thank u, next

10 - 34+35

9 - Problem / no tears left to cry / God is a woman / 7 rings / break up with your girlfriend, i'm bored / Rain on Me / positions

8 - breathin / Stuck with U

7 - One Last Time / Santa Tell Me

6 - Into You

5 - boyfriend

4 - Break Free

3 - Dangerous Woman / Don't Call Me Angel

My Everything being her best seller is obviously helped along by its age (it's 334 weeks old), so I thought I'd do some comparisons with their sales at various different stages.

 

243 weeks

369,223 - Dangerous Woman [15th January 2021]

251,253 - Dangerous Woman [19th October 2018]

207,837 - My Everything [3rd February 2017] (This was actually its 128th week on sale; its 126th week was 20th January 2017 but I don't have its sales from this week)

52,412 - My Everything [9th November 2014]

Wow thanks for that FANTASTIC update.

 

Look at all those numbers!! :wub:

 

Not 'Dangerous Woman' being her second lowest seller. :unsure:

Glad you've both liked the recent updates, JulianNial and Jade :wub:

 

It's interesting that so far in 2021 (albeit we're only 2 weeks in and we're talking about a handful of copies separating them lol) Dangerous Woman has outsold Sweetener and My Everything, despite those two outselling it in 2020!

 

It seems that only 'thank u, next' has a slight chance of overtaking 'My Everything' eventually, but it wouldn't be for a few more years, and it relies on 'tu,n' continuing to outpace 'ME' by a sizeable margin (but that gap is closing... 'ME' sold 59.67% of 'tu,n' in 2020, but in 2021 it's currently 67%).

546k for 'Love Me Harder' https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/t...l-chart__32366/

A great figure considering its peak position! It appears to have slowed down a bit since its last couple of updates.

 

I have updated the thread :wub: 34+35 has now spent 13 weeks in the Top 20, the same as Bang Bang. Positions album is only 295 copies away from Gold!

Thanks guys for the info! 'Love Me Harder' will always be a big Ari favourite for me so I'm happy when it gets recognition :heart:

 

Very pleased that 'positions' is on the brink of gold now! That's before factoring in impending deluxe and vinyl boosts too, yay <3

@1360253580045766659

 

GOLD! :cheer:

'motive' shifted 5,828 last week, which would have been enough to chart if it wasn't for the 3 song rule. Total sales are 94k!

It may end up returning this week though, at the expense of test drive which looks like it will only have a one week run.

and the rest of the era?
