Thought this would be interesting to post now since this could very well be the final list, notwithstanding another shift in the industry. Some of the bigger artists could also potentially make the list.

Since I got warned for posting radio updates in the Spotify thread...but it's ok to post radio updates in the RUTH Spotify thread. Double standard teas. I created a space to hold hands, congregate and celebrate the radio and sales performance of Beyonce's latest lead single, Break the Dawn Break My Soul. Feel free to share radio and sales updates from all over the world. And always remember...When Jesus Say Yes, Nobody Can Say No.

As Positions hits 1 billion streams Ariana becomes the female artist with most songs in the BILLION club, surpassing Dua Lipa! This is in fact her 7th song to do so, after 7 Rings, Thank U Next, Side To Side, No Tears Left To Cry, Into You and Bang Bang. Also, Ariana is now the only artist to have five albums with a billion club hit, almost one for each of her album (with only her 2013 Yours Truly being left out). Truly an unmatched longevity for the queen of streaming! Stream to celebrate next in line: One Last Time - 970M

Their 2nd album to hit 1 billion

Beyoncé’s comeback track Break My Soul vaults up a massive sixteen places today to reach a new peak of Number 2. https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/kate-bush-fends-off-competition-from-beyoncé-to-land-third-week-at-number-1-on-irish-singles-chart-__36755/

I'm shocked no one made a thread

Taylor currently has ZERO songs charting on iTunes Top 200 in the US and only two songs charting [past #150] on Spotify’s Top 200 in the US. Why?

While the sales for local acts are currently reaching unprecedented heights, physical sales for international acts continue to plummet in South Korea. The yearly chart is usually full of soundtracks, cast recordings, classical music collections, various compilations, Chinese/Japanese releases by K-Pop groups, rock bands and solo male artists. However, a handful of our pop girls manage to make the ranking each year. While the numbers aren't huge, seeing just how few pop girls manage to crack the year end chart it's interesting to note which ones have enough selling power in such a fickle market to consistently chart. 2021 Rank Artist Album Title Sales 1 Adele 30 1,100 2 Norah Jones I Dream of Christmas 975 3 Adele 21 807 4 Lady Gaga, Bradley Cooper A Star Is Born OST 666 5 Adele 25 639 6 Taylor Swift Lover 592 7 Billie Eilish WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO? 517 8 Taylor Swift folklore 447 9 Taylor Swift 1989 419 10 Adele 19 414 11 Norah Jones Come Away with Me 411 12 Mariah Carey Merry Christmas (Anniversary Edition) 410 13 Ariana Grande positions 342 2020 Rank Artist Album Title Sales 1 Taylor Swift folklore 2,111 2 Dua Lipa Future Nostalgia 1,210 3 Billie Eilish WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO? 1,129 4 Ariana Grande positions 1,043 5 Lady Gaga Chromatica 996 6 Mariah Carey The Rarities 912 7 Taylor Swift Lover 787 8 Lady Gaga, Bradley Cooper A Star Is Born OST 608 9 Adele 21 543 10 Adele 25 524 11 Mariah Carey Merry Christmas (Anniversary Edition) 495 12 Ariana Grande thank u, next 476 13 Katy Perry Smile 428 14 Anne-Marie Speak Your Mind 359 15 Norah Jones Come Away with Me 357 2019 Rank Artist Album Title Sales 1 Billie Eilish WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO? 4,884 2 Ariana Grande thank u, next 2,330 3 Taylor Swift Lover 1,775 4 Lady Gaga, Bradley Cooper A Star Is Born OST 1,526 5 Anne-Marie Speak Your Mind 1,154 6 Camila Cabello Romance 1,033 7 Adele 25 797 8 Mariah Carey Merry Christmas (Anniversary Edition) 765 9 Adele 21 707 10 Lana Del Rey Norman ******* Rockwell! 629 11 H.E.R.

Colombian excellence did it again! Surprised?

With ~32 songs that are at least 3 years old charting on Apple Music US top 200; and 57 songs from spotify USA that are at least 3 years old charting its giving new music is not having any substantiality as it should. This is pretty significant, I was thrown off when I seen the amount of old rap songs charting on Apple Music. Thoughts?

Just announced on BBC Radio 1! Sales of 34,411 this week, for a total of 55,488 so far!

This absolute CLASSIC re-entered the US Spotify chart today at #15! Party In the U.S.A. is the #3 most streamed female 00s song ever & will be hitting 1B streams very soon. One of the biggest songs of all-time
