I'm going to try to update this thread every week.




This chart above shows worldwide sales up until the week of April 11-18, 2012. At that time, Take Care's US Sales stood at 1,669,373 and the chart above clearly shows a total of 2,010,000 which means that the album sold 340,627 worldwide, not counting the U.S. by the week of April 11-18, 2012.

Since then, the album has fallen off the worldwide chart, but has remained strong in the U.S. Shown below are the weekly sales for the album in the U.S. for every week after it fell off the worldwide chart.

41 41 DRAKE YM/CM/UNIVERSAL REPUBLIC 8,323 -5% TAKE CARE

The current U.S. total: 1,770,527

Current U.S. Total - 1,669,373 = U.S. only sales after April 11-18, 2012
U.S. only sales after April 11-18, 2012 + 2,010,000 = Total

The current WW total with added U.S. sales: 2,111,154

But wait. There are still WW sales to add for each week after the album fell off the worldwide chart (April 11-18, 2012). Since there is no official way of tracking these outside of U.S. sales, we will have to use estimations.

However, on the world chart for May 5, Take Care charted at position #35 and sold 22,000, but in the U.S. the album only sold a mere 15,766 indicating that for that week alone, Take Care sold 6,234 units that week outside of the U.S. Assuming that the album has remained consistent at around 6,000+ for the weeks of April 18th and May 2nd, Take Care has sold around a minimum of 18,000 worldwide since the week of April 11-18, 2012.

Current WW only estimation, post April 11-18, 2012 = 47,500~

June 23rd: 4,250 June 16th: 4,500 June 9th: 4,750 June 2nd: 5,000 May 26th: 5,000

May 19th: 6,000 May 5th: 6,234 April 28th: 6,000 May 12th: 6,000

Current WW total with added U.S. sales + Current WW only estimation, post April 11-18, 2012 =
CURRENT WORLDWIDE SALES

This basically shows that at a minimum (because I used a minimum estimate for the WW only estimation, post April 11-18, 2012) Take Care has sold the number below. Yay for math.

"Take Care" the song has already topped 2 million WW, but this thread is about the album.

*Title Edited. lol

[Damien M]

It's still charting on the MusiCharts Top 50 though, so you could use their weekly WW numbers instead of the US ones alone; The figures aren't far off though.

[iamvladd]

Ok Drake.

I could, but that would be too much work.
I'd rather just stick to one source anyway considering that MusiCharts and Mediatraffic both claim that the album has sold a different amount.

CURRENT WORLDWIDE SALES: 2,086,760 (+ 17,000)

11,643 US
~6,000 WW

Should be 2.1 Million next week.
