I think this deserve its own thread.
I guess tracking end is dec.14? audio stream was released on dec.18

Also here is SEA ratio for some albums.

drake 1,388
post malone 1,413
the greatest showman 1,372
Cardi B 1,379
Travis scott 1,375
Migos 1,407
XXXtentacion 1,571
Black Panther 1,389
ED Sheeran 1,398
Post malone 1,449

Arian Grande 1,396
Camila Cabello 1,440
Taylor Swift 1,370
Nicki 1,396
Dua Lipa 1,404
Bruno Mars 1,396
Justine Timberlake 1,333
Maroon5 1,395
Queen 1,372

some said recent SEA change would heavily favor hiphop albums but it also helps many pop or others too. no different at all actually.

Also another fun fact.
in this year end, Ariana Grande Total SPS 964,000 >> Camila Cabello Total SPS 955,000
but in old rule(1,500:1), Ariana would be 918k ish while camila would be 930k which make her above ariana.

Single streams impact in its total album streams.
I didn't include some single released prior to album release, because I don't know its streams after album release.

Juice Wrld 1,541,100,000
-Lucid Dreams 520,516,000 (33.7%)

Imagine Dragons (2017 album) 794,500,000
-Believer 253,803,000 (31.9%)

Bruno Mars 684,300,000
-Finesse 270,240,000 (39.4%)

Maroon 5 758,500,000
-Girls Like You 285,846,000 (37.6%)

Camila Cabello 910,700,000
-Havana 301,746,000 (33.1%)
-Never Be The Same 254,369,000 (27.9%)
2 songs 61% of total album streams

ED Sheeran 1,171,600,000
-Perfect 413,258,000 (35.2%)

Drake 4,318,100,000
- In My Feelings 486,942,000 (11.2%)
- Nonstop 348,863,000 (8%)
2 songs 19.2% of total album streams

Post Malone 3,507,800,000
- Better Now 427,931,000 (12.2%)

Post Malone (Stoney) 1,626,000,000
- I Fall Apart 397,663,000 (24.4%)
- Congratilations 257,441,000 (15.8%)
2 songs 40% of total album streams

As expected, singles drive the album total stream a lot, meaning SEA are heavily driven by few singles.
Hiphop Albums are less driven by singles than pop albums.

What's the logic behind this being revealed so early?

I'm just baffled that NO ONE is doing proper Jan-Dec year any more.

I think it's because they want it out before the year ends. Or else people might stop caring.

^The HITS offices are closed for the year so they posted their year end charts early.

I can see them posting the final year end chart in January.

Nielsen Music (the old SoundScan) will post the year end charts (Jan-Dec), but it won't have as much detailed sales/streaming info as this.
