KillingYourCareer Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 (edited) This method is good to calculate gross revenue but ineffective when it comes to real record sales.

Didn't Rihanna gain like 15m CSPC when she got updated. He was overweighting Spotify and excluding YT. But he was also inflating sales and, after doing an audit using the list of eligible certifications Britney’s label posted on her official site (how nobody sued them is a mystery), he said he was going to start lowering sales for other acts. http://chartmasters.org/2017/04/cspc-sales-formulas-fixing-log/ 20 minutes ago, Tutankhamun said: Which goes to show that the methodology is flawed. Beyoncé is not a bigger singles artist than Madonna and neither should Maroon 5 be above Queen. She is thanks to singles growing steadily for the past two decades and she’s also able to sell/stream album tracks, B-sides and older hits (physical singles were available for limited runs). Obviously Madonna had bigger songs, though, and you can see that from the top songs list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something is wrong about this list Streaming has inflated the success of singles even further than digital sales did while weakening albums. It’s only natural that artists who peaked from 2005-2020 would be the strongest on the list. It’s similar to how artists who peaked from 1980 - 1995 had the strongest album sales.
