2016 YTD Final Album Sales: Adele #1, Drake #2, Beyonce #3

[when the pawn...]

I was hoping Lemonade could pass Views but doesn't look like it will happen in 2016, barring some major boost by Beyonce.

56 - 192,000 - THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION - Garth Brooks ( 192,000 )

Thank you for charting this one even though Billboard isn't (for the time being).

[carreramd]

I was hoping MADE IN THE A.M. would finish on top 100... :(

Chris Stapleton, the #1 country artist of the year according to Billboard. Look at Garth Brooks. The Ultimate Collection will finish in the top twenty this year. Not bad.

[seak05]

Of the 11 albums to have crossed 500k in sales this year, 3 are country, not bad. Interesting that only one of the 3 was released by a big name (Keith, Dierks, FGL, Aldean, Kenny, Miranda all also released this year, some of those names though released in the fall, and Miranda just released a few weeks ago).

It seems that 1989 might be able to reach 6 million by the end of the year. Also, nice to see Metallica's new album already in the Top 20.

Wow!!! I'm happily surprised with how well Joanne has sold!

She beat out acts that are usually better album shifters like Maxwell, Britney, Michael Buble, Barbra Streisand, Ariana, Sia, Frank Ocean, and (so far) The Weeknd!

Ariannas album sales have always trailed gagas and Britney's previous album sold less than half of gagas last

I just noticed that with its sales for the week Hamilton appears to have reached 1 MM albums sold. I don't think anyone could have predicted that.

[onebuffalo]

Very good showing for Garth Brooks. Not bad for a box set that has been available at one retailer (Target). He is definitely going quintuple platinum with that box set.

very impressive for Hamilton! I thought when Lin Manuel Miranda and the other major cast left already, the hype will die down but the material is just too strong

8 albums in the boxset were certified 1xP in December.

The 2cd album was certified 2xP.

The Billboard Country Update says The Ultimate Collection sold 421,000 copies. The above list from melody56 says 474,000. What figure is correct? Thanks!

To be honest, it's a mess. SoundScan say it sold 421,000, BuzzAngle say 507,000 and it has been certified platinum for shipments of 1m.

The original post used the widely reported 134,000 opening (wk46) week sales, and then the numbers from HITS for weeks 47-52.

For consistency, the post has been edited and now shows the number reported by Billboard.

The edited version is also extended to include the top 200.

Thanks for the update! I guess that's why there's isn't an UK Mix update either.
