If it’s so easy, Doja with more radio singles and videos would be doing it as well. Y’all are weird!

I wish I understood the appeal of that album, but congrats to Olivia.

I love Olivia but there must be something done about new “achievements” during the streaming era… it’s NOT the same as it was before with physical releases. 
 

Charts should be separated and the whole “equivalent” units it’s BS.

that's a great achievement, however it's not comparable to when mariah and whitney did it. They achieved it by having people buy their records week after week, after you bought it, that was it, her album is being streamed over and over holding it up

So Olivia is only high up in the charts because… people are listening to her album? :rip:

Yes, all true, but my point is that everyone had to chart based on the exact same rules back then. It's like saying Martina Navratilova isn't a great tennis player because literally anyone in Top 100 today would beat her 6-0 6-0. 

 

And if anything, I'd say albums generally have much shorter longevity today. It's not uncommon for them to last just a few weeks on BB200 if they are not that popular. It's just the most popular ones found a way for better longevity. 

This is absolutely not the point I was trying to make. The point is that you cannot say that chartruns from 2022 are the same or under the same rules as those of 1990. They simply are not because the rules worked differently. And with that comparisons of chartruns from different eras are highly questionable in my point of view.

 

Your example of Navratilova... well, she played with a wooden racket. Comparing her to those who play today is also very wrong in that respect.

 

I agree with your statement that only chart runs (or tennis records) that happen/ed under the same rules and terms can be compared. 

 

BB lost all continuity in their charts statistics once they made radio-only singles available to chart on the H100 in 1998. After that, achievements from then cannot be compared to achievements from before.

 

They also changed the rules for the BB top 200 albums charts way too many times to even create the allusion of continuity. I want to remind everyone that MJ's album didn't even return to the BB200 in 2009 after his passing, because they were not allowed to. 

 

The better question would be, how do these old standing records and albums / song and their runs hold up against the new songs and the new reality of charts achievements that BB created.

 

I'm also fully aware that my fave benefitted a lot from the new rules as evident in her continued charts success of her Christmas music.

 

The biggest joke of all... btw... is the RIAA in my opinion. As long as they do not automatically certify material... their supposed best sellers lists are always plain WRONG.

Mariah has released 15 studio albums + 12 compilation albums.

 

11 out of 27 releases are certified multi-platinum.

 

6 more releases are either Gold or Platinum.

 

1990 = 9xP

1991 = 4xP

1992 = 4xP

1993 = 10xP

1994 = 8xP

1995 = 11xP

1997 = 5xP

1998 = 5xP

1999 = 3xP

2001 = 1xP

2001 = 2xP

2002 = 1xP

2003 = Gold

2005 = 6xP

2008 = 1xP

2009 = Gold

2010 = Gold

 

She can replace MOo when she surpassed that.

We're just joking, sis. It's not that serious.

Olivia is cute and Mariah has her cute moments too

That's the opposite of my point. I was replying to a person saying that Mariah fans were actually buying her album every week. And I said it's not like the rest of the albums in the 90s were charting based on streaming. Mariah managed that many weeks in the Top 10 by selling while others were selling too. Olivia managed them while others' albums were available for streaming too. Streaming doesn't automatically equate longevity. Gaga's last album lasted only 4 weeks in the top 10 despite having a high profile #1 hit. Relative popularity is what matter and the Olivia gurl is killing it with Sour (with only 11 tracks mind you)

I get all of that and yet the terms in which these two separate achievement were achieved, are completely different. Sour is def. a smash album. But its chartrun cannot be compared to those of older acts who achieved theirs by another metric. (and vice versa).

Billboard 200: #8(=) @oliviarodrigo, SOUR 39,000 (3,172,000 units since release). *peak: #1 for 5 weeks

 

49 weeks in the top 10, surpassing whitney and tying mariah 

 

2 more weeks to surpass baby one more time (50) and 3 weeks to surpass the fame (51)

 

:clap3:

She needs to fail to surpass Britney or she just needs to break the record altogether.

I'm pulling for her though. Get 52 full weeks, Olivia:flame:

Posted

i hope it gets 52 weeks before it wraps up. 

 

Whitney and Mariah setting the debut standards for the girls- imagine the rage the fans must have had when Gaga surpassed them both back in 2010 :rip:

Jagged Little Pill is technically not a debut album, hence my confusion.

if i counted correctly, so far SOUR has 44 weeks in the sales top 10. if hdd is correct, she's around #5 this week, so that'd be 45.

 

so people are buying her records week after week as well
