Some of their sales are very off (underestimated Britney but way overestimated Guns N' Roses, etc.) but their methodology is spot on and I'm sure they'll continue to update over time.
My biggest problem with them is that they don't count Youtube and they use comprehensive streaming (multiplying Spotify numbers by 68/26) despite that method only truly working for 2015 (inflating Rihanna's, Adele's, Ed Sheeran's, etc. numbers).
It's not bad using as many sources as possible, though. That's how we get the most accurate representations.
