IFPI will announce the top 10 best selling pure sales albums of 2020 based on physical sales and album downloads tomorrow. What should we expect?

Pure Sales & no bundle will speak louder than bombs.

pure sales include bundles though I think 🤔

I remember he was a million seller. Yeah with Korean acts the Hanteo vs Gaon difference may cause positions to be different.

Did he get the certificate? I dont know if IFPI combines album versions if original chart doesnt. Or even if it does.

Hmmm I’m expecting BTS, Taylor, Japanese act and kpop groups that sold over 1M.

Apart from Taylor I don’t expect any western act, because Mots7 was the 2nd biggest pure sales in the US and that was like above 600k.

i expect kpop and taylor.

although, gonna be interesting if they change the rules for albums with kpop rising, as kpop albums are bundles themselves.

I think he might seeing how there aren't many million sellers from the west. Need to look at the Japanese acts, dunno if anyone there crossed 1mn.

Noone but Kenshi crossed 1m on Oricon this year. Next are Arashi with 822k and MOTS7: Jouney with 658k.

Ohhh, Kenshi might kick a K-pop group off.
