Robert Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Great streaming numbers Once she ships to stores, she will hopefully get a nice boost. I'm sure she will have some kind of Target deal up her sleeve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet anti sold 166k full tracking week, reputation sold 1.3 million, with 3 versions so idk why you say rih could do that, the demand just wasn't there. The demand is here for R9 but we'll see how it performs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem extremely bothered by the fact that Gaga snatched another #1 album & a #1 song. Why is that? I wanna know. And are you sure you wanna talk about savings when Beyonce’s last two musical efforts bombed miserably? Why would anyone care about Fad’s #1 when Beyoncé had a #1 this year that long outlasted Rain On Me with no video Why would you even come for Bey when she’s not got any new music out and is heading to top 20 again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruelSummer13 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 wow this rih stans are really trying. Their fave only have 1 no. 1 album if im not mistaken Your fave is not an album artist, stop trying. Buy her make up instead, while you wait for her album for another 5 years.

The first had simply more demand on its debut, but y'all are not ready for that conversation yet Because massive first week sales and front-loaded indicate strong fanbase support and weak GP support (see Chromatica) While selling 10k for 85 weeks indicate relevancy and strong/good GP support (see ANTI) Depends on what you value better: fanbase or GP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 People are acting as if Taylor stops selling after the first week Reputation is 4x Platinum Lover is 2x Platinum (and it's still selling) In the end folklore will probably end as another 2x Platinum album for her. Not everyone has that these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveInStereo Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 I really like Folklore but it’s embarrassing how frontloaded these sales are going to be. I personally know several people who bought 2-8 copies. I don’t think this will have longevity or impact with the GP. Not sure why people would want to compare it to Anti, an album cycle that everybody engaged with. Rihanna is beloved by everybody. These numbers suggest that there’s a lot of love for Taylor, it’s just all coming from the same crazed stans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
