GoodGuyGoneGhetto Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 (edited) Like @Valtersen said... • Ariana Grande occupied the entire top 12.

Instead, she also has position #13, 15, 17, 24, 26, 29, which equate to more streams than positions #8 and #12. At the very least its debatable.

The most impressive aspect is the music genre Taylor is dominating on AM US with.... The most interesting question is: Is it the first time an album (male or female) that is not mainstream pop or urban is slaying this hard on AM US? It's potentially a record.

Playing devils advocate here but I think were forgetting that this is still 1st day stats. Its Taylor Swift. And its a Taylor Swift surprise ALBUM release. Lets check in 2-3 days when the dust settles. I love Folklore so much but we cant judge an albums actual performance on first day stats alone. LWYMMD topped AM US but its probably one of her biggest underperformances for a lead (aside from ME!th ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

channel orange Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 as people have already mentioned, Ariana occupied the entire top 12. not only that, but the clean version of the album was at #2 behind the explicit so it was like she had 2 albums slaying at the same time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 This is huge for a female pop artist, considering that nothing in Folklore is urban sounding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffy Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 4 minutes ago, Green said: This is huge for a female pop artist, considering that nothing in Folklore is urban sounding. This. I don’t care what Ariana achieved because her genre is WITHIN AM’s parameters regarding its demographics. Obviously her album was destined to do well. Folklore is an ANOMALY. It isn’t the sound AM’s audience typically listens to. Comparing Taylor and Ariana is like apples to oranges. Two totally distinct artists who are musically steering in two different hemispheres. The fact Taylor is decimating the AM charts is very telling. There’s a significant shift right now in AM’s audience. Her achievement here speaks louder than Ariana. This isn’t to say anything bad about Ariana either. This is simply giving praise where praise is substantially due for Folklore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aliciavikanders Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I mean if AM released numbers it'd be easier to know. We know folklore debuted with 35.47M streams, but for Jhene, Ariana I'm not sure their numbers have been published. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urban-influenced music dominates Apple Music CONSTANTLY. Given the indie/folk genre of Taylor's album, this is EXTREMELY impressive Edited July 27, 2020 by peterstyles13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jhene Aiko, for example, did over 100M+ streams in a week from AM alone mostly, as her Spotify stats. were obviously week due to poor playlisting and the fact that her demographic doesn’t use Spotify as much. Kehlani, Summer Walker and Ariana Grande all dominated too. I can’t wait to see how Rihanna performs there, as well as Adele and Billie Eilish with her next album.
