POP is 

WTF Drake hasn't even sold 400K? He did 800K in sales first week just last year  

Edited July 5, 20179 yr by CaptainMusic

Is it only top 10?

Love On the Brain  

 

The way that this completely obliterates ATRL's good ol' "country audiences buy albums" argument. 

We rock fans are the ones still buying albums. I use spotify but i support those who deserve and a luxurious Vinyl is nice to have at home

Yeah, they only did top 10s. BuzzAngle's report contains top 25s, though their numbers are slightly different from Nielsen's.

That's What I Like and 24K Magic (single and album) 

Didn't know Scars to Your Beautiful and I Feel It Coming were that HUGE on radio  

TWIL will probs top the year end list

DAMN. 

 

The album sales are tragic with only 2 albums selling +500k, compared to last year where there was 3 albums selling +1M 

Last year there was not so much 500k selling albums. This year is shaping up to be better than the last one. Bruno and "Moana" will get there next week. Metallica, Chris Stapleton and maybe even "Trolls" could reach that milestone. Plus, Eminem and Taylor are releasing this year too so that makes two another albums basically selling one million this year.

And according to the BuzzAngle report, vinyl sales saw a 20% increase in the first half of 2017. I'd be curious to know the demographics of those buying vinyls.

I mean look at the top 10 of year so far; Beatles, Marley, Amy...

classic or classic leaning rock, soul, some pop.

 

only physical i buy since a couple of years is Vinyl because they look great on the wall and is something more than just a lil plastic disc

A few notes looking back at this

 

- HUMBLE. will probably be the most-streamed song of the year

- No idea how Swang did so well on YouTube

- Bounce Back had sneaky good longevity

BuzzAngle numbers are a joke. According to BAM physical sales down -2.1% when Soundscan reported -17.0% change.

 

Of course Nielsen is right because they recalculate collected reports using statistical tools (something like election poll). BuzzAngle uses raw data so if they start including new POS (point-of-sales), calculated change is completely bogus.

except we're in 2017, not 1990.

nielsen made that rule when there were some record stores who don't work with them. and lots of independent small records shops.

how many record stores out there who don't report their sales in 2017?

According to Nielsen ~10% of all US POS doesn't report complete sales data. If we talk about vinyl sales, BAM numbers are underestimated in ~50% (they wrote that in year-end report). 

 

Using weighting factors is ok if you use it properly.
