Is those artists really sold that amount?. I tried to use the link provided with Anti, and doesn't works. Even, tried with Internet Archive. Another sources claims that is only 150,000 copies (actually doesn't specifics pure album and/or digital downloads but is realistic)... Also, Taylor Swift's album has a reference from Twitter which indicates that is 5x Platinum that is nothing related with the "sales" that supposed represents an albums in the best-selling in that country. This Twitter account is not "official". Chrishonduras (Diskussion) 07:56, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
Several months ago, I started here a discussion about the legitimacy on sales records that came from especially QQ Music. I don't know how reliable the source is, but I always believe that is not a good source to reference the record sales, more when they present really high sales like Anti of Rihanna and whatever is call the Swift's album.
In Withness album a user asked include this source in the article. Here is the discussion when a user explain that QQ music is a fan source. And the other one asked for something reasonable, to avoid include a certification without the knowledge of the chart.
So I think that the most appropiate is remove all albums and information with this source. That is true that China is the biggest country in the world, but I don't believe that those sales are true, even if we're counting streaming (digital sales) when in the IFPI reports is not recognize.
If I don't receive any answer like my last comment, I will be bold in removing that, because I'm trying to notify here first and to avoid an edit war. If anyone is oppose, please comment here to reach a consensus. Chrishonduras (Diskussion) 15:56, 3 July 2017 (UTC)
QQ Music can sell album by whole album and each track, the numbers are listed by album or song sale depend on how it is sold. This list is totally wrong by misunderstanding the sale of many albums (most Korean OST and Western albums) - they sell songs, not album copies. Song sale: 首. Album sale: 张. If you want to make a rank, rank them base on revenue like QQ Music. I removed albums with song downloads sale number and separate Li Yichun's EP sale (if you combine her sale then BIGBANG's MADE EPs should be done too) - Kuraxmol ( talk) 12:06, 13 August 2017 (UTC)
Saoju classifies releases with 5 or more tracks as albums but on western charts, it is 4 songs, this is going to lead to confusion for the readers of this page, can we somehow come to an agreement wether albums should have 4 or 5 tracks, thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Octopus288 ( talk • contribs) 09:01, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
Source from Xinhua says Teresa Teng's 1983 album Dandan youqing is best selling album for Chinese with 5 million album sales as of 2008. I think it should be included for #1 best selling physical album in China as mentioned in this source. And sorry for wrong editing. https://web.archive.org/web/20150610201713/http://www.yn.xinhuanet.com/ent/2008-08/04/content_14015572_2.htm Arorapriyansh333 ( talk) 13:59, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
