No one will ever come close apart for Adele herself, even if she done 2M in the US next era the gap is still huge 

Adele

Lemonade with only 3 days without Spotify & AM is impressive as hell. I still wonder had it been on both from the start... after all it went top 10 after 3 years  Bey would’ve had 4 top 10s to debut in the top 10 at the same time. Formation, Sorry, Hold Up & 6 Inch. She makes me sick at times all for that DOA tidal.

Adele 

Wonder if she can still do 2M+ with her next era

Both 25/Hello releases were HUGE. I don't think anyone will ever experience that level of domination again

Scorpion (and Tha Carter V to a lesser extent) sticking out like a sore thumb.  It's interesting that even though streaming is clearly the bigger metric, most of the biggest debuts are primarily from pure sales.

60% of these that were pure involved bundles ( tour or mech) or in the case of Lemonade , was on only one streaming service when it debuted or in Reps, wasnt on streaming until the week after its debut . You can also tell the difference once the years go by:

 

2015: 25/Purpose/IFYRTITL

2016: Lemonade/Views/4 Your Eyez Only

2017: More Life/DAMN./Rep

2018: Tha Carter V/ ASTROWORLD/Scorpion

2019: Fine Line/ Lover/ Hollywood's Bleeding

 

 

Notice that starting in 2017 how the pure % starts going done unless bundles are invovled.....

 

Seriously at this point anyone expecting pure sales to be the main metric or a deciding factor without bundles involved from here on out is delusional....

Where did I say I was "expecting pure sales to be the main metric or a deciding factor), I was just making an observation.  You made points though about the bundles. I just found it a lil funny how far Scorpion stands out, especially when he has a few others where the disparity isn't that big (but as you said that could be due to the climate difference).

That was general statement not really directed at you lol. You know there are still ATRLers here still living the past...

The fact that if billboard started counting sps two months earlier... Taylor would've held the #2/3/5 spots without needing any extra unit!!
