Any surprises? 

[Tylerbv]

Album sales are so dead

 

My fave at 35 with no album out this year. WHEW coming for 34 next year.

[Taylena]

Did Ariana really sell only 70k units for the whole year?

[Blue Rose]

[Chartman]

 

1. Taylor Swift

She hasn’t charted all year so that’s not surprising

Does that include streams? digital sales of songs ...album units?

or it's more about phys/vinyl/digital sales of the whole album

since I feel she should deffo have more based on streams alone (never left the top 5 or at least top10 most streamed females from what I know?)

[Kasix]

Taylor outsold all of them combined btw lol

She more than 70k, this chart only adds the albums that are charting inside the top 200.

[fentypark]

rihanna 

[VioletsandRoses]

Lana Del Slay!!

 

[nostalgic]

Rih still doing nearly 1 million even with her music career being drier than the Sahara desert at the moment  

[DoubleRainbow!]

Thought Katy wasn’t selling at all? 
What happened? 

[Anti-Hero]

Not Katy selling higher than Ari 

[Jolin Tsai]

ArianaGrande [70k]?? 

[Ben Ili]

Congrats to everyone in this list! There were lots of great albums this year.

 

So happy for Lana in top 5. 

Also Rih in #7, ahead of Beyonce who had an album this year...

[Steve Johnson]

Correct

[zzmyth]

1M albums for Rihanna in her 7th year without an album....

 

I'd love to see a total for her tbh.

 

Just for those that claim she is not able to move albums.... lol

[Mystic Boy]

Lana is by FAR the most impressive

No promo,no proper releases,no radio,no playing games,no star system

Bee after 26 years, not everybody has that

 

Gaga Top15 without a new album since nearly 3 years

Lana released a new album earlier this year (and 2 albums in 2021)

No

 

This only counts the weeks where she had an album charting on the BB 200

they’ll somehow twist this to make her seem like a flop
