Method & notes
The strongest published milestones show Raihan far above several other blockbuster releases, but PulseKita keeps source quality visible instead of pretending the historical record is perfectly audited.
METHOD & LIMITATIONSHow the numbers were calculated
PulseKita includes an album only when a published source gives a concrete unit figure. The x-axis uses album release year, but the sales value is the reported cumulative/lifetime figure from the cited source, not sales earned during that calendar year. 'More than' claims are encoded at the stated lower bound.
- Puji-Pujian is encoded at 1.5 million units, the lower bound of NST's 'more than 1.5 million' report.
- Brutal is encoded at 350,000 units, the lower bound of ABIM's 'more than 350,000' report.
- Bisa Berbisa uses Saari Amri's reported 400,000-unit figure.
- Siti Nurhaliza's debut is marked medium-confidence because the 800,000-unit figure is preserved through a historical citation rather than a directly exposed original article.
- This is not an official all-time RIM ranking and should not be mixed with cumulative artist sales or certification counts.
