Well in the US Bruno did A LOT better, but this list is worldwide, and Bruno's era has been pretty local while Eminem did better WW + his older albums still get a lot of streams/sales (and i guess 24K Magic came out in 2016)

This is a worldwide list and includes all kind of sales AND streams. Drake released More Life in March, so all the streams it got since then are included. Reputation was released on November the 10th, so about 8 months after Drakes project and was released on streaming services just beginning of December. So its actually pretty impressive that she is #3 with that short amount of time and the only female on the list aswell

Drake ahead of Taylor?? Didn't she just make her big comeback with Repu and all that...Whew...she is really losing her commercial power. Before this era stans were comparing her to Adele and now....Looks like she won't catch up to Justin Bieber's Purpose...Justin has been outdoing the girls and it looks like it won't stop.

We been knew End Game is flopping for utter filth but I doubt she’s worried about her record sales when her tour is going to gross $400M+ and Reputa is still the best selling female album this year

 

 

ot: Taylor  only female artist on the list and higher than any other female artist since 2013 bar herself and Adele  

[ViviLittleM]

How is Eminem that high tho

IFPI has been compiling this Global Artist Chart since 2013 and not once has Bieber been Top 3, so no, not really!
