Obviously Dark Horse sold a lot in December, while at the time All Of Me was still struggling to get on its feet. If the chart were given for the 2014 Calendar Year instead of the 2014 Chart Year, Legend's advantage in airplay (and very slowly growing) advantage in sales would have helped him past Perry. Still, a stirring performance at the VMAs would not hurt All Of Me.

Happy is obviously going #1 on year end.

I think it's safe to say that Happy, AoM, and DH have the top three spots on lock for the YEC. The real battle will be between AoM and DH for #2.

Katy Nice set of hits, the only one I got bored with was All of Me.

so when sales are good we are talking about raw sales, but when not, we add to them tea? stupid. Beyonce owning them all (besides Frozen) with album that sold 1mln without tracks tea

The music industry has been using TEA for some years now. They didn't just make it up recently.

And it's completely logical to account for track sales along with album sales. We're in a different time where music sales are heavily singles-driven compared to 10-20 years ago.

Not Katy slaying both album and singles... QUEEN

Beyonce is the biggest Female album of 2014 in US, Not Katy

Too bad Soundscan doesn't agree with you
