The flaw of MediaTraffic in general is the inclusion of actual reported sales by the major charts in the world (Billboard, UK's OCC, etc.) with sales estimates which they've come up. Sales estimates which are calculated by the site's staff, and are based on IFPI's data on the countries' market share. They're technically using IFPI as a source, and yet their calculated estimates often, if not always, mismatch with IFPI's official numbers. Not to mention, MediaTraffic's coverage isn't 100%. And that's where the major flaw comes from.

 

One biggest misconception regarding MediaTraffic is the notion that their numbers are actual sales, as in 100% genuine actual sales. But they're not. They're simply sales estimations added with selected reported sales from some of the charts across the globe. The only source which could come up with a 100% coverage of WW sales are the ones who actually distribute the music itself (and hence have direct access with the retailers, which sell the music), and they're the labels. The labels don't report to an independent site like MediaTraffic whose audience are limited to music forums online. They report to the IFPI which releases an overall industry report every year, including the year's top 10 best-sellers. And these reports are the ones acknowledged by Billboard and its major counterparts worldwide. Others may argue that the numbers being released by labels are shipments. But then again, we currently don't have a worldwide sales tracking system as reputable as Nielsen SoundScan (the source of Billboard's numbers) to distinguish which from what's not.

I don't think so, they count TF + TFM. Can someone clarify ?

They're counted as one. TFM WW was mostly a re-release of TF.
