Records of the French Top album – Wikipedia

This article deals with records of Top Albums In France, since the creation of this ranking in January 1985.

Created in January 1985, the Top albums is a ranking of the best album sales.

In April 1989, all compilations were excluded and recorded in a distinct classification: the top compilations.

It was not until January 2011 that compilations were again integrated into the top albums, which also takes into account (in addition to physical sales) of sales by downloads from this date.

Records of the Megofusion ranking (since July 2016) [ modifier | Modifier and code ]

Created in July 2016, the Megofusion ranking brings together album sales with streaming listening.
The streamed albums are converted into “equivalent-sales” on the following basis:

• The streaming listening volumes of all the titles of an album are added.
• Half of the streams of the most listened to the total title is withdrawn from the total obtained.
• This total is converted into sales equivalent (based on 1500 streams = 1 sale)
• The number of equivalent-sales obtained is added to physical sales and downloads made.
