US - 3M 

UK - 400k

France - 45k (est.) 

Germany - 165k (est.)

 

Not sure about the Asian markets. 

 

EDIT: oh maybe you meant for the 22M? That's just the breakdown for Midnights here.

22M in a single year is absolutely insane. Her catalogue is so insanely powerful and valuable. No wonder they don't want to sell her her masters. :jonny5:

Is this enough for her to surpass BTS for IFPI's #1 Global Artist Of 2022 title?

Oh for sure. BTS are on their off year.

 

The real battle now is in pure sales (IFPI has another chart for that) and BLACKPINK will probably wash Taylor in that department since theyre nearing 3M pure with Born Pink.

She can print millions of vinyl and people will buy them. They will not rot in the discount bin on a dollar store. 

 

Congrats, Taylor for having the demand others wish they have.

Republic can Update the albums owned by BM? Wouldn't This be from Lover onwards only?

Some artists take the entire decade to sell 22 million albums :deadbanana2:

No, but Taylor herself can request an audit and update the certifications.

Oh wait, I thought you were asking about US certifications, nevermind.

UMG (Republic’s parent label) distributes all of Taylor’s albums under BMLG and Republic.

You are overestimating Blackpink quite a lot

 

BTS had 6.1 M pure physical album sales this year (back catalogue + compilation album alone). I think they are still challenging Taylor in physicals. Their streaming numbers are also massive but Taylor should probably have the edge on this one as she released new album and didn't depend on her old discography alone. Overall units could go to her or Bad Bunny even.

Blackpink is not nearing even half of those sale numbers and already stagnated in streaming :michael:
