Dangerous Woman album has left the UK top 200. :( I'm not sure if that happened on 8th Nov or today, because I haven't been able to see the 8th Nov chart yet. It's not in the top 200 today though! On 1st Nov it achieved its 180th consecutive week in the chart. A pity it didn't last to see 200+ weeks!

 

In better news, My Everything re-entered to claim its 250th overall week in the top 200!

My Everything will likely pass 400,000 sales in the UK this week :D

 

thank u, next [album] (total sales: 281,900 / last week's sales: 2,219) is currently on course to certify Platinum before Sweetener (total sales: 287,959 / last week's sales: 1,194)!

Amazing, thanks for keeping us in the loop Jay! Really good for Ari that she's so close to 400k for 'My Everything' and will have four platinum albums in time *.*

Santa Tell Me has passed half a million sales! 509,008 as of Friday 6th December!

^ G'won 'Santa Tell Me' *.*

 

Ariana's UK Chart 2019 EOY positions:

 

#16 7 rings

#30 thank u, next

#33 break up with your girlfriend, i'm bored

 

Lewis Capaldi has the most songs in the top 40 (4) but she ties Ed Sheeran for 2nd most!

 

'thank u, next' is #7 on the EOY album chart also.

thank u, next overtook Sweetener this week!

Is ‘Santa Tell Me’ now her 13th platinum single? :o starting to lose count :lol:

 

‘thank u, next’ album edging ever closer to platinum status :wub:

Wow! Crazy numbers, both sweetener and thank u, next edging on Platinum, should only be weeks surely?

'thank u, next' album is now platinum! :cheer: :wub:

:cheer: So deserving, well done Ari *.*

 

thank u, next has managed this certification in 49 weeks, which is by far her quickest ascent to Platinum. Sweetener still has a little over 2k sales to go, and this week was its 74th week on sale. Dangerous Woman went Platinum in week 162, and My Everything did in week 185 of availability!

Sweetener coming for platinum too.

 

Perhaps by like two weeks or so?

 

Dangerous Woman, sweetener and thank u, next are all quite close in UK album sales.

 

I'm so curious to see a sales split of all her albums like physical, streaming, download :wub:

'sweetener' is now officially Platinum!! :cheer:

It's amazing that she has four platinum selling albums when she only released her first one in 2013. Look at her overcoming a continually declining album market *.*

Wow! Into You is 2x Platinum now! WELL DESERVED!!

 

EDIT: Ahh just seen the Into You thread. :lol:

Updated the thread *.* Recent updated sales include the albums (apart from her debut), 7 rings and thank u, next.

Imagine if she debuted just a few years earlier!

 

She’d probably have an actual million selling single in pure sales and some albums over 600K. Not to say she hasn’t done amazing though. She’s practically been the biggest female since streaming took over actually as Problem was the first ever number one to include streaming sales and she’s got bigger since.

 

I’m here for her getting another one too with AG6! It’s also so strange to see an artist with album sales so close to one another. Like she had four now what are rather close in sales she’s really overcome that market decline and transition into streams like you say! thank u, next I could possibly see overtaking dangerous woman albums wise eventually as well would you say that’s possible?

Yeah 2011 - 2013 was such a strong time for pure sales, I recall quite a lot of songs on the Million Sellers list being released during that time. Sadly the 'Yours Truly' era didn't quite set the charts on fire during that period, if only x I'm glad that 'My Everything' at least got to experience bigger sales for her before the album market collapsed. She's truly a streaming juggernaut though as you say, her and Rihanna are the unstoppable queens of that field with all their hits.

 

As for 'thank u, next' passing 'Dangerous Woman', I guess it's not out of the realms of possibility as the former is still in the top 100 while the latter is not, so it's in a stronger position with trickle sales. It just needs to overcome that gap. Could do with a top 40 boost out of somewhere!

I wouldn't say she necessarily has overcome the declining album market. Her chart career has largely existed within the modern streaming age, she doesn't seem to appeal to those who buy physically, so the declining market wouldn't affect her as much as it would others. She's also been fortunate that in the time album sales have declined, her popularity has continued to soar so they kinda cancel each other out anyway. That'll be why her album sales are relatively similar.

 

I have thought that it's strange she doesn't seem to attract more physical purchases than she does though, considering she's the biggest artist in the world right now. I know I acknowledged her main demographic are those that stream, but fanbases usually buy physicals and she must have a bigger fanbase than most. You'd have also thought than artist so huge would attract more older audiences who prefer to buy physically.

Yeah what I mean is that she’s managed to raise her profile more and more with each era, so as a result she’s still able to achieve platinum selling albums now, a feat that not many 2019 albums achieved in the U.K. - I think less than 10? So she’s doing fine to have one of the 10 best selling albums of last year. Nothing mind-blowing (I’d only have those expectations for Adele nowadays :lol:), but yeah, another platinum album under her belt is nothing to be sniffed at!

 

Her fanbase do appear very rabid on social media but they need to get on BTS’ fans levels with the physicals :kink:

Wow another certified album track *.*
