    People say 2018 was Drake's peak year, in that year he sold roughly 6.5m album units

    People say 2020 was The Weeknd's peak year, in that year he sold roughly 3.2m album units

    Morgan Wallen sold 8.3m in 2023. This guy sold more units than After Hours 2020 (2m) + Astroworld 2018 (1.9m) + Utopia 2023 (1.7m) + FATD 2023 (1.3m) + Adele's 30 2021 (1.4m) combined

    media's quiet on this one

    he did? Prolly something im missing then
    globally he probably did, but surely he didnt sell 8m in US last year?
    edit: yea i'm wrong

    I don't really understand how he sold "nearly 10m" when HL + FATD combined was "only" 2.7m though. Weird

    they're also saying TAylor sold 19m lol, I don't understand how they get to those numbers anymore

    Drake and Taylor have extensive catalogs
    This just shows that both of them could retire today and still sell millions of album units every year.

    For sure I just find it hard to believe every Drake album except FATD/HL is selling 6m+ a year. seems a bit farfetched to me

    i noticed that hiss by megan thee stallion lost five spots on both spotify and apple music, i guess it already secured the #1 spot so the roc nation streaming bots have been turned off.

    19M albums sales in 1 year sounds absurd for a modern artist

    how the f*** do they get these stats is what am wondering. Is there like a specific site for this

    its just that extensive catalogue where every past album is doing 500k+ a year in sales passively, and relatively newer albums pushing 1mil and brand new pushing multi-mill

    the back-catalogue is more important than ever with streaming

    true that's 4.2m though, there's still another 5m to make up. Nothing else he put out did over 760k units last year

    I just don't really see how his other projects make up 5m, I wish there was a more comphrensive album sales list that listed more than the top 50

    Post was always more of a singles guy though, don’t think he ever had an album as longstanding and dominant as both Dangerous and One Thing At a Time
