Taylor fanboy Posted February 22, 2023 Posted February 22, 2023 Asian Excellence outdoing the artist whose only good collab with Taylor is End Game.

YellowRibbon Posted February 22, 2023 Posted February 22, 2023 Midnights sold like 600K in China during 2022... That should help a lot

Cloröx Posted February 22, 2023 Posted February 22, 2023 Jay Chou can take #1 album, it's super gigantic in China

Hector Posted February 22, 2023 Posted February 22, 2023 Harry only #8 after the huge year he's had Yeah, pure sales are definitely weighed more than streams.
YellowRibbon Posted February 22, 2023 Posted February 22, 2023 Harry is very low because his entire album was carried by AIW (plus he only has two catalogue projects)

All songs are over 100m streams. Very few artist have achieved that
Green Posted February 22, 2023 Posted February 22, 2023 If Harry is so low then that means Bad Bunny is OUT of the top 10 again?

No it's not. It recently got a boost from the Grammys that will be offset by Taylor's tour. HH is at 4.6B after 10 months with a huge pre-release single while Midnights is at 3.6B after 4 months
Feanor Posted February 22, 2023 Posted February 22, 2023 I'm fearing that Bad Bunny could be out again. The only non-Asian acts who reasonably can still make it are Drake, The Weeknd, Taylor and him. I don't think anyone else has a chance. That leaves at minimum 4 Asian acts for the rest of the list, and Jay Chou already has one slot. There were 4 major K-Pop acts who sold over 4M in pure sales last year, so either one of them misses, or they all make it, which means one of the above gets kicked out, and Bad Bunny is the weakest of those 4 since he never made the list to begin with…

The entire album is at 4.6B streams on Spotify but AIW is literally 40% of its total streams count (~2B)... I don't think that's a healthy single/album ratio lol...
Hector Posted February 22, 2023 Posted February 22, 2023 They sold 5.837M physical albums in Korea so not surprised. Only BTS sold more albums than them this year. I wonder if BLACKPINK still have a chance with their 2.825M pure albums sold & streams.
onewillowsilk Posted February 22, 2023 Posted February 22, 2023 Seems like some acts that would usually make the top 10 won't be doing so this year. I'll be really surprised if Bad Bunny misses the top 10 yet again after doing so from 2018-2021.
