I really need to understand why Taylor still needs so much validation through the charts that she pulls out tricks to manipulate them, it's honestly gotten pathetic What are you talking about? She was extremely close to the #1 and had signed 75K CDs, plus selling 80-100K vinyls. She had every right to do a last minute push for the #1 What’s actually desperate is y’all trying to make this into something it’s not Also Taylor and Olivia have about the same units basically but Taylor’s comes mostly from pure sales which is more valuable + generates far more revenue than streams. She got it fair and square and no last minute push (which was well within her right??) will change that

Cloröx Posted June 4, 2021 Posted June 4, 2021 Erghhhhh Swifties win once again Inb4 it's #2 on BB200
drivers license Posted June 4, 2021 Author Posted June 4, 2021 some of the physical numbers of these albums Taylor doing 178k is crazy
family.guy123 Posted June 4, 2021 Posted June 4, 2021 Strategic shipping of physical albums is kind of sleazy. They should only count the sales made during the first week of pre-order for this week. Then next week add on the sales ordered in week 2 etc etc
Baby Judas Posted June 4, 2021 Posted June 4, 2021 The kii if evermore freefalls to below #50 after this one.

Take it up with them

Headlock Posted June 4, 2021 Posted June 4, 2021 Taylor Super impressive drop for Olivia, she’ll surely return to #1 next week

They probably added 10k at most, which was all that was needed

Taylor being able to sell an unprecedented amount of physical albums isn’t desperate. ??♂️
FAN Posted June 4, 2021 Posted June 4, 2021 I hate Taylor for this the fact she just beat Olivia after being 30k behind before her “spontaneous” release of other versions yesterday hopefully Billboard puts Olivia at top

Headlock Posted June 4, 2021 Posted June 4, 2021 Just now, M-P-B said: there was a 30k difference between eversnore and Sour based on the last HDD projections And those predictions had been changing daily, as happens when Taylor selling physicals is involved because she sells, when was the last 140k prediction? Taylor wouldn’t have done a last minute push if she was 30k away, that’s too much, it was obviously much closer than that.

americanlife Posted June 4, 2021 Posted June 4, 2021 Tbh I'll be pissed if Taylor blocks Olivia from a two-week #1 debut album. :/
Ms. Togekiss Posted June 4, 2021 Posted June 4, 2021 Evermore could have easily debuted with over 500k then not this puta doing almost 200k and outselling most of the it girls’ first week 6 months in

Everyone knows it's so high because the vinyls and signed CDs finally got shipped, which just shows how incredible her selling power is. Obviously it won't move no where near those units again next week, considering the album was released 6 months ago Taylor has more albums charting every single week on the Billboard 200 than any female artist by far. I think she's fine no matter where evermore lands next week don't you think? n
Galah Posted June 4, 2021 Posted June 4, 2021 Imagine a universe where Taylor blocks Olivia and then Olivia pulls a Bad Blood on Taylor during her sophomore album and Taylor gets her just desserts for ruining Katy's rep. We'd hate to see it, obviously.
