March 19, 20206 yr Eminem's Curtain Call passes 400 weeks, as it's #33 on this week's chart. However it's not in the sales top 100. It's not even in the physical sales top 100, or digital sales top 100. It's time to discuss how Greatest Hits albums get their popularity incorrectly inflated by streams. They assign the streams of all an artist's hit singles to the album, just because they tend to be better sellers than their studio albums. However most of the time when people stream these hits, they're not streaming from GH albums. You could be listening to The Eminem Show album, and Without Me's streams would go to the GH, not The Eminem Show. If an artist like Ed Sheeran released a Greatest Hits in the streaming era, it would practically chart top 10 every single week, whether people are actually streaming the album itself, because all of his huge singles would have their streams combined towards it every week. Thus the actual popularity of the GH becomes largely inflated. Also, if NOW Compilations don't have streams of 50 hits included in their totals, why should Greatest Hits? It's unfair to have compilations that have dozens of radio hits get their streaming compared to studio albums with only a handful of hits. All compilations in general should be sales only.
March 19, 20206 yr Small point to pick up on there - if you streamed The Eminem Show, Without Me's stream would go to both The Eminem Show and Curtain Call. A song stream is attributed to every studio album it's on, and the compilation album with the most pure sales by that artist in that week (easy for Eminem as he only has one).

A song stream is attributed to every studio album it's on, and the compilation album with the most pure sales by that artist in that week (easy for Eminem as he only has one). Thanks for pointing that out, I was accidentally thinking moreso of the US chart's way of assigning streams to albums. Still, compilations with dozens of radio hits across different albums combined should not have their streams compared to single studio albums on a chart. They misewell add streaming to NOW compilations if that is the route they choose.
March 19, 20206 yr 400k comes from streaming, according to the OCC. That's a huge amount when you consider the album shifts 2/3k a week and nothing's really going to change; it'll increase when there's promotion of course but it's not like the average streams are going to suddenly dip if they're getting consistent numbers in times of no promotion. You can argue whether it's fair or not that an album that isn't necessarily actively being consumed gets to chart but I guess it shows what sort of artists people are interested in as well as individual albums.

You can argue whether it's fair or not that an album that isn't necessarily actively being consumed gets to chart but I guess it shows what sort of artists people are interested in as well as individual albums. That's the exact issue streaming being included for Greatest compilations causes. Those dozens of hits added together will just make them chart high every week for years and years on end. As long as people keep revisiting all of Eminem's hits the album will chart whether it's being listened to directly or not. Sooner or later, albums chart will just be hogged with only Greatest Hits albums. There's no way artist's single studio albums can compete with streams of compilations that have every single hit across all their albums cherrypicked and combined. As you said, that's then more indicative of artist popularity not individual album popularity.
