legend ed really getting humbled  if only he released this week

 

[Cloröx]

This is phenomenal number, not her doing even better than most MPG sans Taylor and Adele 

[mintpasty]

Her numbers are HUGE If she had dropped last week and blocked that would’ve great and we would’ve gotten to see him and his team scrambling with desperate tactics. Ahhh I love seeing successful black women running the industry

not him being R&B... I agree but this took me out.

 

OT: Summer doing better than Ed Sheeran confirmed 

 

I don't hate Ed but wow never thought I would see this.

I said “r&b/urban acts” ?

Because Spotify provides numbers?!

Discussing Apple Music is a bit difficult, but yeah obviously its huge

I understand that. But ATLers will see a song debut top 10 Spotify and failed to make AM top 50 and call it a HIT. But if was the other way around they’ll say it flopped.... 

[Michael196]

with the potential back to back #1's from Summer/Taylor/Adele, it's gonna mark the first time since 2017's HFK/Witness/Melodrama

and also with Adele potentially getting multiple weeks at #1, it's gonna mark the year with most weeks for albums by women at #1 since 2012

but still 2021 with 5 (Olivia/Billie/Summer/Taylorx3/Adele) will have the second least women to go #1 in the past more than a decade only following last year where 4 women did (Taylorx2/Ariana/Selena/Gaga)

Exactly. AM is a lot more relevant than Spotify in the US. And the streams weight more for billboard. I don’t know why ATLers cling to Spotify so much. 

Because SPOTIFY is GLOBAL? ?

And we can see the numbers? ?

 

O.T Summer Walker is also outselling Ariana and Bieber right?? This is MASSIVE

[Kiss It Better]

that's insane number for an R&B act that makes her like the Travis Scott of R&B or something, H.E.R. is shaking
