YTD Sales : Please read these guidelines before you request sales estimates, it makes my task a lot easier.

 

1. Be specific - please name the artist and title for each entry you'd like an estimate for.

2. I log sales for all albums that have charted this year, but only update those that have sold enough to reach my 200 position tracking range

3. If an album isn't in the current Top 100, I won't be able to update its sales until Tues. Also, please don't ask about ex-T100 albums too often - once a month at most)

4. Remember to check the thread before requesting estimates - they may already have been answered. Also, no more than half-a-dozen requests at a time, thanks.

5. Please note my figures are combined sales & streams, and since I have no way of separating them, I cannot provide a split.

6. While I am no longer estimating singles sales, I can provide YTD singles positions from C+, and I am still maintaining my sales archive based on published figures (PM me if you want to see it)

 

Thank you.

How long till Ariana takes the top spot?

How long till Ariana takes the top spot?

 

It's unlikely she will.

Hoping George will get a good spike now his new single is getting pushed. Doubt it will be enough to overtake TGS, but should keep him in the top 5 until Q4.

The biggest album of the year has not yet been released.

How do you know, if it hasn't been released... ;)

TGS is already back to selling more than her weekly thankfully :cheer: :cheer:

The biggest album of the year has not yet been released.

 

That'll be Ben Platt, "Sing to me instead', :cheer: if there is any justice in this world! :unsure:

Lewis Capaldi’s perhaps...?

 

Though if Adele does release an album (‘30’ or whatever she calls it), all bets would be off.
