nick4bty Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 This isn't tragic but it's meh. It's clear she relies on physical bundles, and has since Reputation. But this is about in line with the tempered buzz around the album so it makes sense. I did think it would be closer to 500k though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She relies on milking her fans to buy multiple versions of her physical album, is what I meant. Many of which are bundles. But at the end of the day the digital sales here are ridiculously good so fans are still supporting. The streaming is meh and there are no physicals. It's just weird seeing a new Taylor album debut with 300k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just weird seeing a new Taylor album debut with 300k it’s weird because of billboard’s rule. folklore “sold” 615k pure but none of them were shipped immediately. if folklore was released now, it would’ve suffered the same fate. and yeah you said it, her digital sales are impressive which is an indication that her power is still there but the shipping date rule hurt her massively and yet she’s pulling massive numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swiftsummer13 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 She'll probably end up at 400K or higher. Plus, with physicals out next week, she'll do another week with 250K+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainMusic Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 The numbers for Taylor look disappointing for a brand new album, I expected 500k. She should’ve called it Folklore B-Sides like it is and when you think of it like that then these are great numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many times does it have to be explained here? I’m aware but I was still expecting her to do like 350-400K pure digitally which I’m sure Folklore would’ve done if it didn’t have physicals. Of course physicals play a big part, I just think the big decline from Folklore is less about there being no physicals and more about the strong lack of hype and Evermore basically being a collection of Folklore B-Sides. I said they were still great numbers anyway and her next album will do a lot better. Edited December 13, 2020 by CaptainMusic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATRL Moderator bluebirdsforever Posted December 14, 2020 ATRL Moderator Share Posted December 14, 2020 Some of the drags in here will look very silly once the physicals actually ship and release Name one other female artist pulling 300k+ in 2020 with streaming and digital sales only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Safe&Sound Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 This thread is a mess Pages and pages, the most comments here are people being not satisfied with Taylor' numbers and fans explaining that there are no CDs being shipped, then another users commenting the same thing, and swifties need to explain it to them again ATRL, reading is fun!

TaylorFantasy Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Thing is, physical is available on her site but they are not counted because it's not shipped yet. So this is even more impressive than just no physical but the girls in here celebrating like Taylor flopped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
