I'm pretty sure this is a typo. It should be 10M adjusted.

TES (includes streaming = 30 million pure sales + 4 billion streams = 60 million track equivalents = 6 million album equivalents)

6 million album equivalents + 4 million albums in pure sales = 10M. Almost 99 percent sure KPL got ha data wrong.

Huh? None of that math makes sense to me...

[Kkamjong]

Queen of 100M* album sales

[Black Umbrella]

Congrats !

Just a question: The part where it says 30M singles, it it pure sales??

[Bey_Rihstan]

Where do ya'll see 100M album sales? I only see 4M.

Or are ya'll talking about the track equivalent thing

EDIT: Nvm I had to click on it

[Kings.]

How

[RainDreamer]

100 million albums? Where you getting that from?

Edit: What is this Adjusted album sales? Do they mean inflated?

30M is pure sales, PRISM era singles.

**** the world like Katy Perry
Run the world like Katy Perry

Queen

[Aurora]

100M albums? Adele who?

[Dylobs]

I mean maybe if the adjusted album sales adjusted from Track and Stream Equivalent Album as well but even then...

Congrats though. Slay Queen! who else currently sells 100Million albums adjusted?

[Prismy]

Queen.

[evyonce]

100 million albums? Madonna who? Mariah who? Whitney who? Adele who?

[Natawie]

Queen, when will ur faves?

[Repo]

So.... She's sold 4M albums but they wanted a bigger number since that's kind of a joke and just threw in a multiplier and gave her 100M?

This is literally the most ridiculous thing ever. If you didn't sell 100M albums, you didn't sell 100M albums. Period.

For those that don't understand, 100M total adjusted album sales factors in pure sales, track-equivalent sales (1 album per 10 tracks from that album sold) and stream-equivalent sales (I'm not 100% sure the value for this). However as we know PRISM sold 4M in pure sales and 60M in track-equivalent sales, that means approx. 36M comes from streaming.

Is that so?

Doesn't the 60M in TES also include streaming?

I can count on one hard the number of artists which have sold 4M+ albums WW within the last 2 years. It's far from a joke. Adjusted sales are something everyone has, it's not just Katy. Get with the times.

Album sales are album sales, period. TES and SES is literally the dumbest thing I've heard of. Those people didn't buy the album for a reason and single sales/track streaming should just be treated separately. Trying to turn them into album sales is absurd.

EDIT: Als I thought that meant 4M albums across Prism, TD, AND OOTB this why I thought it was off just Prism is an underperformance but not terrible
