It did way better than Joanne WW, even without any promo Already surpassing Joanne's units.

Being #18 best selling album of the year with 0 promo thanks to pandemic and only 2 singles, it did very well after all.

And most of this list are Asian acts that have inflated numbers as Chartmasters stated.

Yeah, it seems the correct numbers for Chromatica would be 720k, as per the article mentioned above. Those are great numbers in the streaming age.

Actually despite inflated numbers due to China, the korean and japanese acts still sold much more than Chromatica did. So they didnt make much difference.

For example, Blackpink's the album sold 1.5mil copies without China. If China is included, they sre comfortably above 2.8 mil
