All I know is 50% albums/50% singles is good, so being in the middle of the list is better than being at the bottom.

I don't really think there is a necessary "good" or "bad" because there are multiple factors to what makes a career good, this is just interesting to see.

I just caught up! Looking good so far.

So it didn't hit #1 in the US as I had figured.

It's like claiming your fave had a #1 song cause their song topped the (digital) singles chart or the dance charts

Clenching my hands so hard right now.

A number 1 is a number 1.

So whenever Carrie Underwood tops the country chart her stans can claim she had the #1 song in America?

What exactly is the methodology of all of this? What are the numbers based off of?

And the title says Album Sales when its actually about peak positions and weeks on charts

A damn argument over the iTunes Pop Chart

16) Alicia Keys

1) #1 Singles in 11 biggest music markets / #1 Albums in 11 biggest music markets = 3 / 2 = 1.5
2) Longevity Singles WW / Longevity Albums WW = 2888 / 1801 = 1.6

TOTAL: 1.5 + 1.6 = 3.10

Moving on.. congrats Alicia

Pretty much. The real answer lies in the % of album sales that make up ones record sales.
Still fun to look at though.

15) Lady Gaga

1) #1 Singles in 11biggest music markets / #1 Albums in 11 biggest markets = 26 / 16 = 1.63
2) Longevity Singles WW / Longevity Albums WW = 5942 / 3492 = 1.70

TOTAL: 1.63 + 1.70 = 3.33

Good for Alicia. I regret dragging her in SYG earlier.

It should be album success compared to single success. Sales have nothing to do here.

And there she is. Higher than the other pop girls (Brit, Rih, Katy, Bey, etc).
