Green Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 2001-2017 are based on the yearly Top 50 albums published by the IFPI (pure sales) For 2018-2019 they only published a Top 10 album list (pure sales). * I also used the United World Chart (SPS estimations) for 2017, 2018 & 2019. For 2020 they published a Top 20 for both sales and SPS (it was the first year that the IFPI started to use SPS for the albums chart). ** N/A: Years without any album entry by a British Female Artist on the Top Album list. 2001: 2 Dido No Angel BMG 2002: N/A 2003: 4 Dido Life For Rent BMG 2004: 39 Joss Stone The Soul Sessions EMI 50 Joss Stone Mind, Body & Soul EMI 2005: N/A 2006: 22 Corinne Bailey Rae Corinne Bailey Rae EMI 42 KT Tunstall Eye To The Telescope EMI 2007: 2.

Green Posted January 16, 2022 Author Share Posted January 16, 2022 I was surprised that Natasha Bedingfield didn't have an entry in the top 50 between 2004-2006. Her debut was big in the UK and Unwritten was a big hit in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine releasing different albums in the UK and US for the sophomore album probably hurt any chances of it charting within the Top 50 globally.

Malmo Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Leona's first two albums, Spirit and Echo, are criminally underrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckythisway Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 The fact that Adele sold almost as many copies of 25 as 21 in literally 1/12th of the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
