You sound a biT pressed by the 8 week #1 album. And yes, Taylor's job is in fact selling Her music; not everyone does that alas.

 

Yes Taylor yes winning!

It went up because of the vinyls, not signed copies. Stop talking out of your asses.

[Selena Gomez]

A big decline for the Bangtan Sonyeondan  

[YellowRibbon]

Love how Taylor can still sell a good bunch of vynils, unlike the faves of the people pressed a couple of comments before this one

[Kyoto]

Meg

 

I think it will have longevity

Be is the 11th mostly non-English album to hit No. 1. Of the 11 leaders that were recorded mostly in a language other than English, five have been by BTS.

Oh wow their power.

[Nando_05]

BTS deserves more 

[peterstyles13]

The girls sprinting in here to claim folklore rose because of signed CDs (which would be perfectly fine) when there weren't any signed copies available at all  Y'all need to pack it up already. Your faves all did signed CDs too, they just don't have the same demand

They can't even read pls there is no signed copies available just vinyl release  And it's basically means Taylor has demand 

[Mezik]

Carrie back in the top ten!  

[Dreajae]

Meg has the stans of rap girls and boys mad. Its so disgusting that I have to laugh. Their flop fboy faves are doing 30k with Lil Baby, Da Baby and other popular features but expect someone who they've worked tirelessly to railroad and call a liar selling 100k a flop?

 

The game is so toxic. I hope she crosses over and abandons that part of rap culture. They will not sustain her in sales or opportunity.

[ifyouseekLEM]

Idk why I was thinking Meghan Trainor 

[smates]

BE only had one version that is $50. It only had 6 new songs It's also their second (#1) album this year
