[Squall]

It's weird though, in what world did = and SOUR sell more than the 6 albums listed?

Taylor and BTS have a much bigger catalog 

That is true, but pure sales are heavily weighted on IFPI (plus shippings count too) so Harry is more likely to not make it, considering Midnights sold a ton in pure sales and it seems like Jay sold +6M pure too 

[UnusualBoy]

Hopefully Bunny is one serving OUT

That would prove IFPI is stupid, if anything

[perfillusion]

Born Pink being the best selling female album (so far)  

[Axelios]

I think UVST won't make the list. But that's also weird with him being so high on the artist list.

[Squall]

I hope Proof is OUT so we can see BTS fans going mad  

 

No chance though

Not sure how SOUR & Equals would have outsold Harry's House

[Hunter_13]

So could it be something weird with BB or Jay Chou then? 

[Squall]

Them not including Jay Chou isn't impossible but it wouldn't make any sense since he is #9 on their artist chart  

[Luckitty]

maybe jay chou had multiple successful albums idk

[Monster Queen]

Top 3 JAY CHOU, HARRY and Taylor

The rabbit is out I fear

[Squall]

It was his first album in 6 years though

[storminthedark]

It wouldn't really make much sense to me for HsH not to make it when in pure sales it was only behind Midnights in the US, and was ahead in the UK. In Italy/France it was the highest English album and was only behind Midnights in Germany as the highest English album. Bunny or Jay Chou being out makes more sense.

[Axelios]

Bad Bunny was #4 this year though. There's no way his album didn't make the top 10

okay, that's why I said "weird if Harry's House is out"
equal is at #10 and Ed's first 4 albums was bigger than Harry's first 2
