Queen. 

This is a good start right? 

That's amazing 

Hmm.

 

Not taking anything for granted till next Sunday. 

Not her selling more digital copies in one day than some artists do in SPS for the week 

 

I do wonder if this was available in stores, how massive it would be. I think it would have done 900k+ tbh 

HAWLD ON

I believe lover did around 170k first week including pre orders.

How does it compare to Lover?

The one thing Lover has over it is that it got physicals. 

 

So I'm a bit confused with Taylor's actual sales for this album. Any albums sold for the first week are purely digital copies, correct? If you purchased a physical copy, it doesn't count until it ships correct? (I believe I asked this before but wanted to confirm)

Okay for some reason I thought sales didn't count until the albums were shipped but thanks for clarifying!!

It counts but the number in the OP is just iTunes + Amazon digital + Google Play

Watch her putting the physical on offline store when  ye finally releasing

When the queen speaks, the world listens. 

 

Huge 

Then people wondering why Cardigan is not doing well... All those sales would have gone to that sold and #1 would have happening.

This # from just digital sevices is crazy  wonder how her store did

plus ~50k SEA for a total of 157k SPS on its 1st day.
