Tutankhamun

YAS @ Madonna collecting MJ's dust! She DID THAT!

At least she's loaded.

The majority of Americans purchase music?

S&S Tour had plenty of arena dates...

Joanne was at 616k in February and it hasn't charted since then. 1 million copies of ANTI was given away and it has never been discounted. The demographics of Rihanna's audience is much more streaming-based than whatever the audience Gaga still has (mostly suburban moms who still think she's cool) All of that and ANTI is still 100K copies ahead of Joanne after months of relentless promo and discounts. Sit down.

A classique

The fact that the music video was blocked for years

The black female MJ

nah I was just being messy

Thriller is finally with MJ now.

10m per track per hour = 250m track streams per hour = 6000m(6B) track streams per day = 42000m(42B) track streams per week = 28M SPS first week on Spotify alone. 40M SPS first week confirmed. Billboard 200 is SH00K.

Russia being racist? Shocking.

This is amazing numbers for her. I was legit expecting her to pull a Nelly Furtado considering how poor Accelerate sold.

"After a record has racked up at least 10 weeks on the chart, any track which has declined for three consecutive weeks will see its streams:sales ratio change from 150:1 to 300:1" aka the stupidest chart rule of all time

MJBias is not gonna let Elvis overtake MJ

It shipped 1M in 2016 and did less than 0.3M in 2017. Looks like the album didn't even cross 1M in actual sales, but I was told the album was a pure sales success? :deadbanana

Where is Joanne? I was told it had sold 1.5M pure copies or something

I know right? In the meanwhile a discounted sale is still considered equal to a full-priced sale. Billboard's double standard ass has no bounds.

this thread is all about Hot 100 chart runs, what does all of that have to do with anything?

Coulda woulda shoulda I would've been the biggest star on earth too if I ain't lazy and untalented.

True though. Everyone on earth needs to own Just Dance + Bad Romance.

looks like the promo worked

You don't even understand how basic math works do you? Yes the London/Paris shows would've grossed higher than say Birmingham and Hamburg, but they would still be well below $2M, which means the average would just keep going down with more shows counted.

lmao JWT had a higher average simply because it's almost a US-only tour and she did some basepall park dates after the SB, if she had done more European dates her average would just keep sinking since US grosses are always the highest. The JWT has too big of a stage production to just have 49 dates and the cancellations cost a lot of money too. "most profitable tour" lmao.
