You're ridiculous.

First of all, your sales in your OP are way off. Second, Work Bitch sold more or less 500K in major markets without the US.

That's 1.34 Million Million in Sales only in the major markets and it sold 130K in South Korea which makes it 1.47 Million sold now.

Let's say she sold 100-200K in other markets which is undermining it. She easily sold 1.5 Million copies.

Are you stupid? What WB sold AFTER leaving Mediatraffic is not interesting if we talk about the 1,2M points since the Mediatraffic score WON'T evolve after that.

And even tho the Korean sales are irrelevant considering the circumstances, let's count them to please you.

800k US
130k Korea

= 930k

It is Gold in Australia (35k),sold about 35k in France & 60/70k in the UK

= 1,070,000

I'm not ridiculous, I'm being real, something her fan base has never heard of.

Your sources are from Wikipedia and have you checked the pages? Those Australian sales are from November. Where did you get those UK Sales? It sold 90K there. It sold 100K in Canada Already. It sold 50k in France.

That's more or less 300K without Japan and Germany. It's still inside the Top 300 in Germany which is the third biggest music market in the world. and Brazil? Please.

Get your facts straight please and try again.

Popboi.

Are there ANY receipts of WB's sales? Everyone are saying different numbers.

Yeah sure with a CR like this in Australia: 30-22-30-27-27-34-58-53-57-66-67-71-//
She is probably at Platinum (75k) by now, I think the 35k certification is way enough already.

The UK sales were not updated chen I checked so yeah 90k might be possible.
I forgot the Canada too so you got this.

Germany is a big market that could be interesting it you did not have a bad CR like this: 41-37-45-36-51-42-57-60-63-87-87-76-OUT
Do you really think she sold something that could matter there considering the CR?
Same with Japan.

Because it is a good song.

So that's um wait. 970K US & South Kore

90K+75K (as you stated)+100K+50K = 315K

=1,285,000 Million Copies right there and that's just like 10 markets.

Let's say WB sold a mere 15K on Germany so that gives you 1.3 Million Copies

+200K the rest of the world = 1.5 Million

end of discussion.

nn not WB being so successful that no one knows exactly how many copies it sold WW

Prismy

This is a pointless discussion. Mediatraffic is the most reliable source we can have for WW singles success so we'll have no choice but to stick with it.

I did not say it sold 75k in Australia, read again.

But you can actually keep the 35k excess since it's Gold in Mexico (30k).

"+200K the rest of the world"
Is it the part when you guess it sold 200k with Ethopia, Romania etc?

Yes where it sold 200K in the other 186 countries in the world.

Like for example it sold 1K in all those countries totalling to 186K. But it sold 25K in Sweden.

So 185K + 25K = 210K.

So now you can rest your case?

Plus HIAM debuted with 411k in the US but had 394k points in the debut week, so? It's not like MediaTraffic is biased or something, lol.

I find it troubling that you immediately assume he's inflating for the artists he likes.

It depends on the artists, see with Gaga.

The numbers being thrown around in here

Retro:

The week after the G.U.Y. video release, ARTPOP re-entered the BB200 with 6k copies sold.
That same week, ARTPOP sold on Mediatraffic with 20k. I mean, how did she sell 14k outside the US?

I still think he inflates the sales.
