And The Top Selling Female Albums of Billboard's 2015 Will Be..

[DiscoHeaven23 35,007]

The Billboard Year started with the chart dated December 6, 2014 and will go until the chart dated November 28, 2015 (The actual date is November 17th, because Billboard charts are dated 11 days ahead of actual dates.) So here's the top three females album of the 2015 Billboard Year. We got three charting weeks left so I HIGHLY doubt this will change. (The first three weeks of 1989 charted in the 2014 Billboard Year). The first two albums' sales are up to date. The third one's number was at 672,000 six weeks ago, so I estimated where it would be at now. Also, this is just based on sales, no streaming included. Adele's album will be released in the first week of Billboard 2016 Year, so watch out 2016.

 

1) 1989 - Taylor Swift: 3,354,000 

 

 

2) Title - Meghan Trainor: 868,000

 

 

3) The Pinkprint - Nicki Minaj: ~690,000

 

These three ladies will also likely be name the top three female artists of 2015 by Billboard, as well

I wonder if 21 will chart this year too 

 

I'm like meh! 

I wish we had more female pop stars release this year

[monketsharona 44,577]

That top 3 is dramatic like 2015 was before Adele returned...

[LePetitGAGABLover 21,234]

The gap of sales between the number 1 and number 2 spots is depressing

[PartySick 134,239]

Um  

Slow year for music, huh? I am surprised to see Trainor outsell Nicki though

Hoping that Gaga can slay the 2016 charts

[Riot Poof 2,236]

Barely anyone major released this year. 

At least this means 2016 will be lit!

Ya Billboard had an article about how its a cycle. One year its the guys year, one year its the girls year and they flip flop. Not always true, but based on how artists release albums (every 2 to 3 years) it makes sense.

Is there only a female list? Hmm.

 

Anyway, congrats to Nicki and Taylor; they both released amazing albums!

I have yet to listen to Title.

I've noticed this too.

That would also explain why random songs become #1s. Most of the major pop women like to release at around the same time (for some reason), and when their eras are done/almost done, the one-hit wonders come out.

Tragic year for female sales. 1989 was released in 2014 so no album with platinum certification this year. And 2016 seems to continue this trend. Rihanna, Britney and Pink have very little chances for 1 million sales. Adele has to save the industry

I would do men too, but nobody on here seem to ever care ha.

Then 25 is released and sells more than 3m in less than 2 weeks.

Are these pure sales or SPS?

Also, didn't TPP sell 690k in total? Not just 2015?
