Exactly. Billie is definitely not #2, that's for sure. She didn't sell more than Morgan this year.

This usually includes their entire catalogs by revenue generated and they've always presented it from the best to least best seller in their top 5 reports.

Crazy how Sabrina went from being a Tiktok girlie to an MPG obliterating chart records in merely a few months

If this is a global sellers list, then for sure she did.

Yep,  definitely global and not strictly America. Billie always has ranked top 20 on IFPI since her debut and should easily rank top 5 this year too.

They listed Taylor's name first 3 times out of 4, I don't think it's a coincidence.

Was she even TikTok girlie? Her trajectory felt more like Disney flop (Ross Lynch / Dove Cameron / Joshua Bassett), to one hit wonder with Nonsense (Gayle, Lauren Spencer Smith), to D-tier pop girl with Feather (Ava, Bebe etc) and then catapulted to MGP within the space of like 18 months.
