I'm pretty sure that I trust their list... it's Nielson we're talking about here after all. I'm just sharing what was published, you don't have to be pressed and claim that I'm faking numbers when the numbers are literally linked from the original source in the OP for your own viewing pleasure. I’m saying Business Insider made a mistake not Nielsen not you Cardi not being on that list while J Cole, Eminem & Taylor are all there makes absolutely no sense now that we’ve seen the 2018 Top Albums & Top Singles Nielsen lists published by Billboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Email Nielson about it! As far as it stands, however, that's the official list... and Taylor is on it while Cardi isn't. Multiple sources are all reporting the same exact thing listing the same exact source. You claim Nielson made a mistake, someone else claimed the mistake wasn't on Nielson's part but on one of the sites reporting the data from Nielson... hopefully you can all get a response from these sources and have your hearts at ease. Report back with what they tell you and changes will be made to the OP if necessary. OT: Taylor Swift Edited July 7, 2018 by TtaraHae Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marsblyr Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 (edited) I think Nielsen messed up on this one. If you look at the full report from Nielsen: Top 10 Artists Now look at Top Artists by on demand Audio: It matches for everyone who is on the previous list. Now, let's have a look at the Top 10 Albums: Cardi's IOP audio streams are listed much higher than her total stream count which is impossible considering the total on demand list includes her non album features. So, either Nielsen messed up with IOP's album total with the wrong number of streams or they messed up her overall on demand stream count (which is relevant for the Top 10 artist list). There might be a third scenario where only solo songs count for the Top 10 artist list for on demand audio streams, hence limiting Cardi's consumption numbers. At this point, all of this is just speculative. Only the personnel from Nielsen involved in the creating the report can give clarifications about everyone's concern here. Also, please note that Eminem and Taylor's numbers include the consumption of all their catalog along with their current album.

The mistake was just as we had forecast in that the person who wrote the article for Business Insider made a mistake in transferring the stats. XXX's real numbers are now listed.

evtimow Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Probably that number 1.13M for Cardi includes all her (2017/2018) streaming, meanwhile the chart is only about 2018 consumption? OT: reputa did THAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet Post Malone, Drake, Migos, J.Cole, and XXX all literally have different numbers. Atleast their numbers match in the On Demand report and the artist report. Cardi's numbers are different there as well. As for the one you shared, if you notice, there is a specific cut off date for all genre charts but nothing is mentioned for the overall list. It may also be a duration issue as XXX's numbers have increased a lot in the past weeks and you can see he is one that has the biggest drop in numbers.
