A classic.  

 

Reputation remains the better album though, IMO. 

I thought so too.

[One Nation]

You're asking why her magnum opus overshadowed reputation?

 

[BtDecember]

Because it has more hits. They’re equally good albums tho.

She dominates every music app in China, not just Apple Music. We love a global legend!

 

OT: reputation is obviously performing better than 1989 worldwide. You can't measure how well an album is performing simply by the amount of countries where it's charting, you also have to take into consideration the size of the countries' music market, which is why reputation is ahead of 1989 on Kworb's Worldwide iTunes Albums Chart and Kworb's Worldwide Apple Music Albums Chart. Sorry!
