Does video streams count towards those 188k SPS sales? 

 

OT: My fave keeps winning

Wow, the fact KatyCats shade this number probably we will see a million debut for Katy's next album 

@halcyonday, so it means we will see Small Talk is giving Katy 1M debut? What a time to be ALIVE

 

my fave, she did that  great numbers!!!

[istan4badgalriri]

I honestly though she/her team would've found a way to clear the 1m mark

Impressive numbers nonetheless, the question is will it have longevity

Actually, Republic confirmed it exceeded 3M units WW

Better than almost everyone 

From now on she's free of pressure to sell 1M...I wonder if she is relieved or mad

I believe without the chart pressure she could bring out the best songs of her career in the future

What does this have to do with 1) ARTPOP selling 900,000 copies less than BTW week 1 and 2) Britney Spears releasing 0 albums that have been #1 for multiple weeks since the year 1999? 

 

Gaga’s studio albums plummet after week 1 too  Again, stop getting brave

Her streams were 95% paid  @Prismee @JawBreaker

 its over for the other girlies  Her artpop Divide/Scorpion is upon us

In all seriousness, I'm the first to drag her for her flop numbers. But only being 133k away from hitting 1M is impressive tbh. If it had a right lead single that smashed hard on radio to get the word out she's back. She would've definitely done way better. Anyway these numbers are solely thanks to her massive dedicated fanbase. No GP or hype this time. No other artist in history could release ME! as a lead and debut with these numbers. So she won in my eyes

She's coming for Britney's wig:

 

Best selling female album artists of the Soundscan era (1991-2019)

 

By July of 2019:

 

1. Mariah Carey (55.5 million)
2. Celine Dion (53 million) 
3. Shania Twain (35 million)
4. Britney Spears (33.6 million)
5. Taylor Swift (32.7 million)

 

https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/8519784/taylor-swift-career-sales-streaming-totals-2019-ask-billboard

 

Lover sold around 0.7 million pure album sales so the updated list should be:

 

1. Mariah Carey (55.5 million)
2. Celine Dion (53 million) 
3. Shania Twain (35 million)
4. Britney Spears (33.6 million)
5. Taylor Swift (33.4 million)

 

and I'm not even counting her catalog album sales from her previous albums. She will probably pass Britney next week.

Never thought that she will surpass Britney in pure album sales ahhh her powah no wonder some Britney fans are fuming in this thread 

[Mr.Link]

Some people have some nerve using the word “decline”. I mean going from 1.2M to 867k is better than going from 1.1M to 250k or going from 6 #1 singles to moderate “hits” with no parent album. 

[truthteller]

swifties be like: round it up, it's 870K... which is 130K from 1M....

That's a 30 percent decrease compared to reputation. Not bad, but nothing spectacular. 

Her album sales actually decreased by 45 percent despite selling four versions of the same album.   

Anyway, these 1M debuts are over for Tay Tay. Maybe she can pull off one in China. 

 

Conservatives have really abandoned her. Perched for these second-week numbers. 

She will probably spend like two weeks at number one

 

This matches up with the overall decline in sales, which you have made clear you are aware of given your next post below. In fact Lover did better than Reputation taking into account this overall decline.

 

Bad trolling post #1.

The album was available on streaming platforms, so I have no idea why you would bring up the argument about the decline of sales, which no one denies. 

She could have secured another 1M debut if she had done B&B's streaming numbers.  

Being on streaming naturally would decrease sales given that casual listeners could choose to listen there instead of purchasing the album, Billboard literally says this in their article.

Taylor’s streaming numbers are amazing, and are even more amazing taking into account her massive pure sales. And vice versa her pure sales are amazing taking into account her amazing streaming numbers.

 

Bad trolling post #2.

 

Y’all OTHs aren’t even trying anymore.

Everyone running in here to shade Taylor when their faves can only dream of these opening numbers, the audacity 

 

None of your favorite artists have done it, none of your favorite artists will ever do it either (bar Adele),  congratulations to Ms. Swift

Absolutely insane, excellent numbers for a massive pop artist.

 

I was honestly expecting 700k as maxium since this era was a downgrade singles wise and many people have moved on from Swift, she hasn't been able to score a decent radio hit yet. We'll see, Lover (single) should serve longevity, even until December, but it's probably not going to be impactful at all.

Lover is already at 3M+ WW SPS so it's coming 

 

Great week for Taylor. ANOTHER WIN! 

[Gaia]

It’s her fault for releasing a the worst and most boring tracks to introduce the album. 

 

ME! Should have been The Man

YNTCD should have been Cruel Summer

The Archer should have been Afterglow

Lover should have been Miss Americans and the Heartbreak Prince

 

and she should have made Lover the promoted track during debut week with a MV release.
