It spent like 3 weeks at #1 

 

Somehow she always wins 

Every time I open one of these threads I’m always like “Adele & Taylor top 2” its iconic 

Kylie selling a greatest hits album.. in 2019..  

Bey did that in just a few days, whew!! 

Joanne and ASIB are missing from the list.

Surprised to see Beyoncé & Taylor Swift on this list. I was under the impression that they were some of the most local artists ever. I guess ATRL stans and lying do go hand in hand after all 

‘Glory Days’ sold 96,000 combined units first week when released in 2016, which should put Little Mix second on the list. Unless you are just counting female solo artists? 
 

Anyways, there are some good albums on this list! 

 

Little Mix’s Glory Days, Get Weird and LM5 did 96k, 60k and 56k respectively 

Localyonce's numbers pulling more than girls with a full week of sales, interesting!

I’ve never understood people’s assertions that acts like Taylor Swift aren’t big in the U.K., btw.

 

I don’t know much about her chart stats and sales figures here, but with my generation at least she’s been well known here since ‘Love Story’.

 

She’s definitely had more mass appeal here since going full pop with 1989, but she was known before that ?‍♂️

Because she's the biggest all around pop girl in the US and her sales there makes it disproportionate compared to everywhere else and ATRL assumes because of that, she isn't "global". Her stats globally are decent and she's on par or even better than most of ATRLs favs outside the US.

Their chart power here is insane, especially with ‘Glory Days’ - I mean: 96k first week, 5 week at Number 1, longest charting girl group album ever and it’s STILL charting now (166 weeks on the chart and counting) and 3x platinum as of 2018. 
 

They really don’t get the credit they deserve for all their achievements, IMO.

I see, thanks for explaining!

MX did 25k and RH 37k

OT: Bey did THAT with Lemoande, not even a full week. Rep and Lover  

Billie doing that before she started focusing on UK promo 

 

BE2 is gonna be massive.

 

Adele’s GAP 

25 BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Billie's numbers still kill me

 

And they don't have bundles in the UK.

I had no clue 25 did 800K, I-

Lemonade with just about half a tracking week at #3? Slayage!
