Is there a chance for THE ALBUM to be on IFPI's Top 10 albums of 2020?

I'd like to see. Maybe if Universal reports their sales (?)

Quote from omnimorphism

You mean the Top 10 that is already out?

There's a top 10 for artists, albums and singles. Only the artists one is out

Quote from Ves

It's the artist chart that's out. Album chart not yet released so of course there is a chance!

I hope so. I've been thinking about it for some weeks before the list is out. I'm expecting that maybe their chinese sales count.

Quote from magicwand18

UWC and IFPI's charts usually has the same or similar top ten so judging on BP's placement on the UWC this year, most likely not. If anyone in kpop, seventeen or nct would be before them (they are higher on UWC).

I think the sales need to be reported (?)

I remember EXO sold 1,4M on 2018 with their standard album and yet they didnt make the list and other albums that sold less pure sales did. But they dont have a western label for that.

Quote from worldlove27

The album chart only takes into account pure sales (both digital and physical). So if they do indeed report Gaon + china numbers and IFPI does not weigh the chinese sales in any way. Than yes they have a shot, as their pure number is probably around 2.6-2.7M (gaon + china).

So yes they have a chance if their chinese sales are counted fully.

I'm already praying for them to count the chinese sales

Quote from magicwand18

i think it needs to be reported or have the information collected from a reputable source (in this case Gaon/Haneto). Not sure if a western label is necessary

I think it isn't needed, forget what I said. I just remembered a chinese soloist made into the list 2 years ago and she probably doesnt have one.

Quote from worldlove27

also arashi topped it last year and doubt they have one.

You are right. I forgot about Arashi

Quote from nevermindmejin

Let’s hope so! BP is the best selling GG in the world right now anyway.

I’m predicting that IFPI will be like BB Social Artist charts eventually lol. Kpop is selling more and more albums, with BTS leading the pack.

I'd love to see asian artists dominating

Quote from Joesee

I believe it is close to the UWC Chart

This is the 2019 UWC Chart in comparison to the IFPI one IFPI

If they take the Chinese sales into account they might be above NCT or around it so there might be chance!!

Hopefully we see more non-English artists on these lists for 2021

Thank you for the clarification

With this thread I see that it really depends on the chinese sales

Quote from whtver

a few scenarios, depends upon how Chinese sales will be counted (since IFPI counts them)

1. If the Chinese sales are not weighted and counted as they are then they might have a chance.

2. If Chinese sales are weighted then they might have a chance if the cut off turns out to be low (because I presume they will have 1.4-1.7M sales.

I was thinking about a #3 scenario now. If they don't count chinese sales, but BP entering in the list because of their korean sales alone are enough. But depends on the competition, I guess. Its more unlikely.

Quote from daniel-cruz

Maybe NCT can get get in if they counted Resonance as whole, That's around 2.5M+ physical sales + Digitals

There's a chance if Chinese Sales are weighted, BP could easily get in. I don't know what is the cutoff?

Does IFPI count Standard + repackage together? It's a possibility, tho

Quote from daniel-cruz

If They count Eminem's release like "Music to be Murdered by" and "Music to be murdered by Side B". The first one has 20 tracks, other one has total of 36 tracks including 20 from the previous one with additional 16 tracks. Repacks usually have no more than 8 songs. So if they combined Eminem's album then they will have to put Resonance as one.

Right! Thank you

Non blinks in this thread

:meanb:

Quote from worldlove27

Both BTS albums will likely make it. so thats 2 spots to BTS. Taylor will likely get folklore and maybe evermore (not sure about evermore cause it was released so late).

I'm not sure about evermore too because of the release's history. The first week was only digital. When the physical release started, it was already almost late december. It might prejudice.

I'm burning all the non blinks, cause not stanning bp is a heresy
