IFPI's report is very confusing since they don't provide a breakdown! their single sales could include digital, ringtone, streams, etc. thats why some of them look inflated but they're the real deal
Angelina has as many Oscars as Bruno has Grammys which is kinda embarrassing since it's 10x easier to win a Grammy (well, there are exceptions hihi). Eddie is nothing. He will become a seat filler a la Lupita next year.
you forgot to mention only one of them she won for actually acting. Bruno got all his Grammys for his music.

I'm not surprised at 1D being #2.
What really surprises me is AC/DC, Michael Jackson and Pink Floyd. How? Why? I don't get it
A crushcrushcrush tea
How the hell did Michael Jackson reach the Top 10? Xscape The Child Penitentiary sold less than CHARTDROP and that crappy song released with Justin Timberlake barely scrapped platinum, not to mention that there wasn't a tour he did with it (that I'm aware of).
If 1D can reach that high just off of a tour, then I have no idea how he got in there.
Rihanna working with Prince, another expired music act. As if working with those two clowns on 45S wasn't enough. She is gonna flop so hard, I have a feeling. I miss the old RiRi. The one who made good music.
a freaking joke.
