People talking about her prior numbers before an AOTY and her highest risen profile post win.

 

I remember she was struggling in the mid 2010s to cross over and there were articles about why didn't she live up to the hype. She then did a cover with Katy but nonetheless eventually she found her spark with Golden Hours which is great.

 

if you are going to crossover then you need to do it correctly. Her album is cute but not great. At least she'll debut top 3.

Hopefully Aaliyah can re-enter the top ten

i'm sure a 20k increase is considered a win in her book. she's fine

what excuses? she isn't and has never been a commercially successful artist ever  she had two country radio hits 8 years ago and that's it

[John Slayne]

good numbers for kacey, she was never a MPG or anything like that so 60-70k in this sales market is amazing 

[Letemtalk]

I'm not sure about her previous sales units, but Kacey never had a #1 album, so this isn't bad.

[Balthier]

Can the swifties leave all the Kacey threads? We know you hate her because she apparently "stole" a country Grammy from Taylor eons of years ago, MOVE ON

 

Amazing numbers for Kacey 

[AnonnonA]

Woah I’m surprised streaming will be contributing this much to her total album activity, I had expected album sales to make up a bigger portion 

[99sandthe2000s]

congrats to Kacey it's a cute album

can't wait to grab my first country album on vinyl

It's the other way around. Kacey has shaded Taylor multiple times in the past (she even shaded her during Taylor's masters drama). Jealous of Taylor's success 

 

OT: very high number as per her standards. 

[Nick_317]

Not everyone can have a successful crossover album

 

[Luckitty]

this is early projections so the final numbers will probably be lower

Kacey was never a big seller. 60k is great for her standards. No one expected her to do MPG numbers, only the delusional ones.

Exactly. It’s simply hideous. Why did they do that????

I'm just still in awe of the music industry and the lack of....sales....It's sad to see that quality music cannot even reach triple digit sales.

Not only did streaming kill sales but there’s just SO much new music every week. That in addition to how many forms of media are competing for our attention these days means sales are really low.

[Steve Johnson]

Kacey and her team are complete fraud. My friend ordered her album online and when the item delivered, the front and back covers were completely different to what was shown and it was trash. FRAUD!!!!

[Green]

Good numbers for Kacey

Top 3 is better than I expected
