Impossible. I don't know Camila and Kesha. Xtina had a small theatre tour with only around 73000 tickets sold in total. In the first week, less tickets were sold because she is not a strong tour act and she hadn't toured for a decade. According to Billboard, only 20%-30% of fans will redeem during the first week (https://www.billboard.com/articles/business/8030253/concert-ticket-bundles-chart-boost-metallica-taylor-swift-kenny-chesney/). Therefore, Liberation has around 12-18k tour bundles at most.

best song on the second album

Finally, but this is not enough. Even if Apple doesn't want to reveal plays of each song, it at least needs to make each artist's streams in total available, so does Amazon music and YouTube music, too. These three plus Spotify basically occupy over 80% of the whole market, while only Spotify is transparent.

disgusting. tired of **** kind of bullshxt. It is just RIAA's way of making money and a unhonorable way to save artists and labels' faces. should have followed the rules in UK. Get rid of the most streamed two or three songs of the album when it comes to the certification of albums.

such a good song. finally catchy again after several of his awful release

Xtina is much better than expected. Ppl kind of r used to dragging her to an extreme degree as if she only sold several million albums, were never commercially successful and left no legacy...Also, feel this moment and moves like jagger have never been on her Spotify page, so im sure the streams have nothing to do with them. Also, Burlesque OST is not on her page, too, but only two songs belong to Cher.

Aus always stans her hard

Really don't understand why BTB performs so bad on Spotify. Hurt is the first track to reach the milestone. The album hasn't reached 300m yet, which was lower than Christina Aguilera which was released over 20 years ago.. Hurt and Candyman perform pretty well on YouTube, though. However, Candyman only has 70m plays on Spotify like Ain't no other man, which is her best single with favor of critics, somehow just weirdly doesn't connect with the GP.

UK is the biggest market among these and Katy Perry only did 8000 + there. The other markets are much smaller than UK. Katy sold slightly above 1000 in Italy only. Her first week's pure sales in Japan is only 1072, too. What do you think how many copies she could sell outside the U.S.A.?

Some of her delusional fans dragged Liberation's second week's sales and explicitly told me that Smile would never have a similar trend because it didn't have tour bundles at all. Well, well, well.

Eh, that is bad, but I won't be surprised if she eventually fails to Chart No.1 in any country after the whole mess.

thought Australia, New Zealand and Brazil might be the only three countries for her to achieve No.1..Lets see whether NZ and Brazil r still rooted for her.

Not a surprise. France doesn't give a damn about many English-speaking pop girls even in their primes, let alone a flipping one.

I believe this album will still have multiple top 10s in various countries given that its good worldwide iTunes and App Music performance for days. However, the problem is its low sales numbers and probably lack of longevity if no more singles will be released.

Smile is currently at No.6 on iTunes and No.4 on App Music. Unless it is slaying on Spotify. Otherwise, it is not that easy to score No.1 ultimately.

Even before VMA, the song's performance is pretty good on some other countries' Charts. However, why did it drop so fast on Billboard? Is it really because the industry in America is very sexist and ageist which is generally reluctant to support female artist over 30 years old on the radio? I also found out the callout of the song is pretty bad, too. So many Americans hate it because it is a typical gay song or?

Yeah, just like Ellie Goulding's latest album had over 1B streams by keeping adding up singles even before it was released. and it had a disastrous first week sales' and was out after 1 or 2 weeks. Its chart performance is generally horrible across the world. In the streaming era, many artists just tend to make their albums look like "selling" alright through this way, which is humiliating and pointless.

then attach the link here if u can find it. if it is out there, it should be extremely easy to be found. If nobody can find it, then it is just not revealed. simple L-O-G-I-C. Also, who told u each artists' specific components of the first week's sales r revealed...Even gaga's is not mentioned on the website of Billboard: https://www.billboard.com/articles/business/chart-beat/9397503/lady-gaga-chromatica-sixth-number-1-album-billboard-200

maybe u need to do some research before u embarrass urself. The liberation tour was a small theatre tour with 70k tickets sold. 50K in the first week's sales is not possible.

I agree bundle indeed helped a little bit, but Liberation Tour is not a 50-show Arena Tour with 10000-15000 seats per show. It is a theatre tour with only like 15-20 shows (maybe 3000-4000 seats per show)? so it is not like the bundle sales was many. Also, as far as I remember, Katy Perry released multiple versions of her album, which Xtina did not do.

not at all. Im a Fighter. actually if she indeed has a Xtina-like sales or even worse, just proves the point how bad it is!!!! Her career started literally 10 years later than Xtina.

don't tell me that she is going to have a Xtina-like first week sales.

some delusional fans keeping claiming 0 promotion r so pathetic...... high TTH places for NRO, ST, etc. Her company has invested loads of money (on Spotify, music videos shooting and making, multiple performances, etc) but only got 1 moderate hit, NRO, so what else do you expect?! A business is not a charity.

one of her most underrated songs. so timeless
