Btw that Billboard article counted in the total sales collab albums, that normally Soundscan doesn't count, right?
Like for Jay-z. I'll use Kanye's sales bc he has only "Watch The Throne" as collab album as lead artist
From this list
[X]
- Kanye West 12,9 million
Billboard's article:
- Kanye West – 14.6 million
Watch the Throne - Jay-Z & Kanye West - 1,617,000 (estimate by Oldbloke)
14,600,000 - 1,617,000 = 12,983,000
So I think Jay-z number should go back to his old one, considering acts like MJ have collab albums
