Yeah. You are kinda stupid for stopping using them for not liking the numbers they post

Considering multiple people have already explained why these numbers are different than the itunes numbers.

Wafflinson, you seem to know a lot about Mediatraffic. I see that there is a red triangle next to Bey's name. Doesn't that signify sales of 2M WW or more?

I am not seeing it.

Do you work for Mediatraffic?

The red triangle was obviously a mistake and they edited it.

No, but it doesn't make me any less right.

...and it doesn't make the people dragging the site any less wrong

Who cares. She still sold a Millie in a week WW and those numbers SHOULD reflect so next week.

Because if not...

Exactly. People should stop dragging the site and wait for next weeks numbers

[Alvajay]

We don't need to wait until next week to know she sold a million WW since reliable news articles already claimed it

That isn't the point......

People are holding up the fact that this doesn't show over a million as a sign of its inaccuracy. Which is absurd since its tracking week ends at the same time as the various countries it includes. Which means some end on Friday, Saturday, etc of LAST WEEK.

Of course Beyonce has sold well over a million at THIS point. No one is denying that.

It's in the screen shot on the first page. I guess it was a mistake. Thank you

[Iwokeuplikedis]You NEVER see an artist using mediatraffic for receipts. Its always itunes or billboard! That's because mediatraffic is irrelevant and not accurate! BYE![/iwokeuplikedis]

The numbers are accurate for what they are doing.... tracking sales in 10 markets.

It just happens that their tracking week split her sales.



Stay pressed and obsessed tho

NO ONE claimed Mediatraffic was "official"..... they claimed it is accurate. Keep making stuff up tho.

Calling me delusional is cute, but doesn't make you any less wrong.

The tracking weeks of different countries don't all sync up. So the sales are different than what itunes reported.

Originally posted by Wafflinson

Why can no one read the thread before making ignorant posts?

Once again. Tracking weeks do not sync up. Itunes was reporting fri-sunday/monday while many countries tracking weeks do not end on that day. The numbers for this site were always going to be different than the itunes reported numbers.

Originally posted by Wafflinson

You can lie to yourself and pretend they are fake because you don't like the numbers they posted all you want. It doesn't make you look any less foolish.

As already explained. The tracking weeks do not match up resulting in different first week numbers than itunes reported.


Next weeks high numbers will prove this

Originally posted by Wafflinson

It is not reaching.

Fact: The Itunes sales as reported are Friday - Sunday night.

Fact: Australia's chart end of Friday, and the UK on Saturday. Meaning that not all the reported itunes sales will turn up on this weeks chart.


Just two examples. I am sure there are more.

Originally posted by Wafflinson

Once again. Read the thread.

Itunes numbers were from Friday-Sunday.

Many charts tracking weeks end on Friday or Saturday. Meaning that the second and third days of sales are cut off. Those numbers will be added to next weeks chart.

Originally posted by Wafflinson

I already explained. The site lists 10 countries in their sidebar..... I assumed that those were the 10 countries counted. It also does not change my point at all since it still doesn't change the fact that countries have different tracking weeks, and not every country is accounted for.

Meanwhile the irony of you accusing me of not knowing facts is not lost on me since you are wrong about the site being fake because you ignore and refuse to acknowledge how sales work just because you do not like the end result

Originally posted by Wafflinson

Itunes already confirmed that in the billboard tracking week (ending Sunday night) she had sold 800k-850k if memory serves. That is the MAXIMUM the chart could have showed.

As already explained multiple times to multiple members of the Hive... this site works by compile info from various individual charts. Several of those charts end of Friday or Saturday.

That easily explains why this charts numbers are slightly less.




It has reached over a million NOW, but this chart is for LAST WEEKS numbers.




Ya'll have 0 evidence to back up your claims that the numbers the site posts are not accurate. They are 100% accurate according to their methodology. They have different numbers than itunes because they are looking at slightly different tracking periods.

It's tracking week ends Fri/sat/sun depending on the country.

How dare I tell the truth amongst the BeyHive's desperate attempts to discredit a very useful site.
