To say Gaga is a flop artist, she hasn't done too bad in what one would assume is a male dominated industry right now.

 

Let this be a lesson to pop girls 

Gaga

 

Metallica, Bruno, Taylor, Bey and Rih

rihanna #1 artist in mid-year and year end 2017. damn

Lady Gaga best selling female artist this year 

Even with a "flop" era, Katy is smashing  

raindrops and droptops WON

Sam Hunt looks like he may reach 2 M in sales with Back Road. He's still consistently selling 50k downloads/week, and the song is still growing at mainstream radio. With his exceptional streaming, given Hunt's core format, Back Road could reach 4XP.

Lady Gaga the highest singer-songwriter on the list

Some of these numbers don't add up? How is "Shape Of You" at 2,258,696 total sales, when it was at 2,141,190 just last week?  Are they adding the CMA sales? ... Also, are they just counting "Despacito"'s remix version? Because the song has sold 1,300,867 as of last week

 

Anyways... Katy and Adele having the best selling female albums of the year  Woo, my f*****g faves

buzzanglemusic don't use itune and amazon's complete album thing. so usually their album sales are low and song sales are higher.

this doesn't explain despacito's sales tho.. maybe you're right. they only count remix version only. mistake I guess. 

The pop girls are not having a good year  

Wow at those numbers

lmao who cares she'll be #1 female anyway

Rihanna, ANTI & Love On the Brain  

Rihanna will def be the #1 female of 2017 followed by Bey unless Taylor releases. 

Pretty disputable numbers though so I'll wait for the Nielsen leaks

Not if Taylor Swift releases her next album. Swift won't break a million in one/first week ever again (nor will anyone else but Adele), but she'll probably get 500k/650k SPS her first week, and could triple both before the end of the year. And no, I don't "stan" for Swift.

Lady Gaga doing good in album sales 

 

Lady Gaga selling songs as much as The Chainsmokers with 3 big hits this year 

 

Lady Gaga the best selling female of 2017 confirmed 

 

Lady Gaga doing okay with streams.

LOL. Bruno is considered 'excelling in all platforms' being #4 in sales & #8 in streams and Drake isn't excelling in all platforms while being #7 in sales & #1 in streams.

 

Pls stop being obviously biased.

drake not even in top 25

drake not even in top 25

if this means anything, means that the release of More Life was a frontloaded stunt that was supported by major spotify/apple music deals and nationwide promotion.

 

obviously, the 3 predominant, most successful artists of the year are Kendrick, Ed and Bruno.

5

Total Song Sales:

1. Ed Sheeran - 4.420m

2. Bruno Mars - 3.134m

3. Drake - 2.366m

 

....

8. Kendrick Lamar - 1.704m

 

Even including song sales, Drake is still well-balanced. 

 

Drake is #1 in artists ranked by streams, Drake is #6 in artist ranked by album sales, and Drake is #3 ranked in artists by song sales. He is overall well-rounded.

 

And this is in a year with a mixtape. In 2016, with his last promoted studio album: He was #1 in streams, #1 in song sales, and #2 in album sales.

 

No other artist is Top 6 in streams, album sales, and song sales except Ed.
