Global Top 40 Albums

The Global Top 40 Albums Chart is a listing of the 40 highest selling music albums in the World, published weekly in official global chart website by Media Traffic. It is frequently used to convey the popularity of an artist or groups of artists. Often, a musical group will be remembered by its "number ones", those of their albums that outsold all others during at least one week.

Media Traffic began publishing album charts on January 3, 2004. The Global Top 40 Albums Chart positions have been derived from various sales data companies. Because these numbers are supplied by a subset of sellers rather than record labels, it is common for these numbers to be substantially lower than those reported by the Recording Company.
