ChrisTheLoner Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Amazing numbers  Maybe it doesn’t include bundles so maybe there will be a surprise extra 150k sales? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billboard needs to change rules already. It's one thing to bundle album with tour tickets, it's other to bundle it with air and you don;t even have to redeem copy. sounds pressed  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your fave JUST released a new video but here you are stinking up a Taylor thread. I know that seeing a woman 13 years into her career still KILLING it and literally outselling your fave's last album's WW sales in a WEEK is probably extremely hurtful, but there's truly no need for you to bring your delusion in here.  P.S Thank you for streaming Lover! People like you are the reason it's debuting with the stellar numbers it's debuting. Always keeping tabs on ms Swift and following everything she does with great interest. We salute you, OTHs!  OT: Congrats to Taylor. THAT bitch, now and forever! You tagged me in every single Small Talk thread and I'm gonna do the same! I don't know which one of my multi-talented,hot faves you're aiming at but whatever helps you endure this.   No need for me to stream ST! You're doing it instead of me. Do I have to remind you AGAIN that it was your most played track 2 weeks ago? A Regina George in sheep's clothing indeed!   Congrats Ms.Swift!

Offered 4 versions of her album. Basically dangled shiny non-music things in the public's faces and had her label give us daily updates like we were tracking something momentous. She left no stone unturned in the shameless payola/bundle game and still won't do a million. Good.

phreshprince Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Curious to see 2nd week numbers... the drop is going to be huge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enchanted0 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 (edited) It's extremely impressive considering rep did 700k on iTunes and iTunes is basically dead now. I wonder how much it did in SEA+TEA, I was expecting 200k-ish Edited August 30, 2019 by enchanted0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was the last one to do a million so I don't understand why you're jerking off of this.  Amazing for Lover. 2.5M FW WW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smilers Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 It's not underperforming. She just lost a lot of iTunes sales from putting it on streaming first week. Streaming tends to benefit in the long run instead of giving huge first weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mons†erMuscle™ Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 (edited) I am so so SO happy this day has finally come!   Oh yes, her stans will make those go-to excuses about "not bad for this sales climate"... and then comes Adele who will obliterate those numbers once again.

You must be real pissed that she outdid Drake’s Scorpion FW sales with mainly pure sales in 2019  Oh and she has the 3rd biggest female spotify debut numbers WITHOUT plastering her face everywhere like Drake did.
