clears the Hot 100 in the next 1-2 weeks, the only songs
likely left behind will be its current singles, "Easy On
Me" and "Oh My God." Should the success of just those
two songs make the entire "30" seem like a chart success?


Spotify release their weekly numbers every Friday.

First Week:

Easy On Me, 13.6M

Oh My God, 10.2M

Can I Get It, 7.4M

My Little Love, 7.2M

I Drink Wine, 7M

Strangers By Nature, 6.6M

Cry Your Heart Out, 6.2M

To Be Loved, 5.9M

All Night Parking, 5.3M

Woman Like Me, 5.2M

Hold On, 5.1M

Love Is A Game, 4.5M

Second Week:

Easy On Me, 7.9M

Oh My God, 4.7M

Can I Get It 3.1M

My Little Love, 3.1

The rest have fallen out of the Top 40.

Thanks, radiofan16. Week 2 shows how few of the "30" songs
are still keeping the album atop the Billboard 200 due to
streaming. (At least this album is selling, although it is
depressing that this is the first album to sell more than
one million copies in over a year!) With all the Christmas
albums bounding up the chart, how many of those I wonder
are being supercharged by just one track? For example, is
anyone listening to anything other than "Rockin' Around The
Christmas Tree" on Brenda Lee's Christmas albums or "The
Christmas Song" on Nat King Cole's?

According to current standards a Gold Record is awarded for
sales of either 500,000 copies of a single or album.
So I guess the term "Million Seller" nolonger applies.
