Up ~22% from her last studio album which had a massive leak beforehand and down ~55% from her last solo studio album in 2011.  Either way, fantastic numbers for 2017!

What? There are no features on The London Sessions. Some of the tracks on that album were produced by British producers.

[princedonte]

Mary & Gorillaz showing how it's done.

You're correct, my bad!  The only collaboration is Disclosure.

[Little Dark Age]

Mary growing from her last album is great . Haven't checked out it out tho

Gorillaz doing impressive numbers too. Was not expecting Wale to bomb his last album easily went #1
