Posted July 20, 20195 yr V2 : 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.

July 20, 20195 yr So Ed's new one crashes in sensationally at number... 13. Watch it climb over the coming weeks though. Lewis should go platinum this week. Could end up a three-way battle between Ed, Lewis and TGS for the year's bestseller. Then again if Adele releases, it will turn into a one-way battle.
July 20, 20195 yr I’m not sure the Greatest Showman will hold up now. I’m probably wrong but it seems like Lewis is gaining fast and of course Ed will sell quite consistently. Ariana really isn’t much of an album seller, is she? She’s about to lose her top 5 footing here.

Ariana really isn’t much of an album seller, is she? She’s about to lose her top 5 footing here. Her albums really do deserve better. She’s like Rihanna when it comes to singles but albums wise :( I’d be so interested to look at the pure sales for all her albums too as I imagine streaming is at least 60-70% of the total for most of them.

If Ed can't even sell in multi-platinum quantities, then maybe Adele wouldn't, either?
July 20, 20195 yr Still think ed is most likely candidate for YE number 1 lewis number 2 and TGS number 3 because even if ed and lewis slow down we still have the christmas period which should give them a boost
July 20, 20195 yr Ed will most likely sell a bit like Lewis in the near future so I'd expect him to clear 300k fairly soon but slowing down with each week.
July 20, 20195 yr I’m not sure the Greatest Showman will hold up now. I’m probably wrong but it seems like Lewis is gaining fast and of course Ed will sell quite consistently. Ariana really isn’t much of an album seller, is she? She’s about to lose her top 5 footing here. Funny because I got crucified on here when I said for her hype and singles sales her album sales are an underperformance.
July 20, 20195 yr What a stupid thing to say, because she doesn't sell many albums doesn't mean she couldn't with the exposure she gets. You cant just give someone a free pass because they always underperform.
July 21, 20195 yr If Adele does release an album this year she will crush all those album sales in her first week, she is bigger than ED by miles and if anyone can pull insane numbers in a declining market, it is her
July 23, 20195 yr If Adele does release an album this year she will crush all those album sales in her first week, she is bigger than ED by miles and if anyone can pull insane numbers in a declining market, it is her If Adele released a project full of rap collaborations she would find it difficult imo!
July 24, 20195 yr Dont know why but i was convinced ed Sheeran divide had higher sales than x.X looks likely to remain his all time best seller. Ed will also knock hinself out of the top 10 this week but will be replaced by himself!! Edited July 24, 20195 yr by Feel_The_Fever
July 24, 20195 yr All these symbol named albums makes it very confusing Divide is the Galway Girl one and X is Sing etc isn't it?
July 24, 20195 yr All these symbol named albums makes it very confusing Divide is the Galway Girl one and X is Sing etc isn't it? Yes.
July 24, 20195 yr + has The A Team, Lego House, You need me I don't need you, Small bump, Drunk, Give me love x has Sing, Photograph, Don't, Thinking out Loud, Bloodstream Divide has Shape of you, Galway Girl, Perfect, Castle on the Hill
