KKCuteCat Posted March 18 Posted March 18 Mess @ someone thiking SOS is the biggest album by a female artist this decade when Rihanna and Beyonce are right there . Streaming makes the album stay in the chart much longer than before but it doesn't mean it is bigger than era like GGBD or Loud or I Am Sasha... 3 1
G.U.Y_Del_Rey Posted March 18 Posted March 18 Fantastic numbers for Ari, she served a quality album and it paid off Poor the haters who were calling it her "Witness" and saying that she's over in the HDD thread, they should feel embarrassed

SOS is also going to outsell them by far so really it goes beyond chart runs I know actually looking at stats isn’t preferred and living in 2007 nostalgia is instead the preference with many of you though. Good Girl Gone Bad - 6x Platinum after 16 years I Am Sasha Fierce - 6x Platinum after 15 years Loud - 3x Platinum after 13 years SOS: 5x Platinum eligible after ONE year, will cross 6x Platinum later in 2024, then cross 7x Platinum sometime in 2025. Likely going Diamond in a few more years. 6
Feanor Posted March 18 Posted March 18 So close to being her 2nd biggest debut ever. 200k+ is always a impressive first week number. If 'Positions' also had vinyl available upon release, this very likely would've been her 4th consecutive debut in the 200k+ range.

Those albums were probably eligible for more platinum certification now. And good luck with your projection with SZA.

SOS is the bigger album. It's not just about streaming, in fact plenty of albums today drop like a rock on the charts. SOS is an album seeing longevity on the charts in a way very few artists are still able to achieve. And you can say the same for CTRL. It's charting like a Taylor Swift album, enough said. 6

Albums in streaming era has much more longevity in general. Prior to streaming era, an album that spent more than 100 weeks in Top 200 can consider longevity. But right now even Position by Ariana which has average success can achieve that. Album like Good Girl Gone Bad is just one of the biggest era that i've ever witnessed and to think SOS is a bigger album is quite a reach. At least at this moment it;s not the bigger album. Let's see when everything is said and done. 1

You’re being purposely obtuse. 1. GGGB is probably 7x eligible at most. 2. If it took until 2018… 11 years after release to be certified 6x Platinum…. and SOS will be 6x Platinum eligible in under 2 years….clearly that indicates SOS is by far going to end up with higher sales when the dust settles. Regardless of if GGGB gets re-certified 1 or 2 more times in the future. 1 hour ago, KKCuteCat said: Albums in streaming era has much more longevity in general.

List all the countless female streaming era albums that have reached 5 million units in 1 year and spent 60 weeks top 10 SOS’s units and chart run is FAR more rare for a female album today than GGGB’s units and chart run was for a female album in the 2000s. 4

U are the dumb one here babe. When did i say there are countless of that reach 5 million units? Where? U can't read? The only thing I say is streaming let album with successful singles stay much longer in the chart than before, which is FACT. And let's see when SOS outsell GGGB. Right now it hasn't. So it isn't bigger yet. You probably weren't born when GGGB was released so i don't blame you for being clueless. But to think SZA is the bigger era of the two is still a reach.

ALA Posted March 18 Posted March 18 Pretty impressive how it was predicted top 15 at first Hopefully she goes all out for the boy is mine for another #1
Ivan_brit Posted March 18 Posted March 18 We can’t be Friends #1 Yes, and? Back to the Top 10 Ariana won this week 1
Blade Posted March 18 Posted March 18 Drake's record breaking 77 Top 10's ironically makes the idea of a Top 10 less impressive. I remember in 2010's a Top 10 was something special not an endless list of songs no one remembers. 2 1 1

I remember in 2010's a Top 10 was something special not an endless list of songs no one remembers. I agree. And this is honestly no shade to Drake, at all, but more so shade towards Billboard. This is why I hate album bombs, tbh. Drake now has 77 top 10 "hits" but I feel as if (over the last 4-5 years at least) 70%+ of these top tens were just album songs that spent less than 15-20 weeks on the chart and were never played on radio or made any sales. They're just frontloaded streaming "hits" -- which is okay, I guess, but these over-powered streaming bombs literally bury all of the more well-balanced hits off of the chart and it's getting tiresome to look at as a chart freak lol. Like I don't care who the artist is, whole albums shouldn't be debuting in the top 20, its just overkill. 4
