charts discussion HDD: Adele 833k (biggest debut of the year), Taylor 165k

[Temporal]

Omfg not this missing 1M  I predicted almost twice as much wtf

[mael]

Howl dawn, Ms Adkins is projected to only do 500k pure? Um, this is kinda dire than I'd first read. That's lower than folklore, kinda gagged. Let's hope it increases by the end of the tracking week.

 

 

...Okay, but did the label seriously print 1.5 million copies?

 

[MONSTER NAVY]

the swifties comparing this to folklore 

 

adele wasn't desperate to sell 8 copies of the same damn album LOL. 

 

OT: amazing numbers for legend adele. 30 is a brilliant record. the best record released this decade so far

Didn't they produce over 800K vinyls alone? 

 

"They shipped it but it got shipped back." teas 

You're making up lies at this point. They never said 800k vinyls, the number was 500k and it's worldwide not exclusive for the US.

The US probably got around 250-300k which probably were sold-out as it's expected to sell 600-700k pure sales alone.

Why would Adele's label need to pay for reviews?  @Brando get a ****ing life.

I wonder why the CBS special wasn't scheduled for this week instead....

Because it had the football lead-in last week and there wasn't a game on CBS this week.

[Sesame]

Adele fans are about to lower the bar again like they ALWAYS do. 
 

“She’ll easily get over 100mil streams first day for 30” DIDNT happen and they switched to “oh those are still great numbers” when it barely did over half of that. 
 

“Streaming doesn’t matter when she’s going to sell 1-2mil physicals first week” looking UNLIKELY. Now they’re switching.

Imagine the numbers without big Oprah interview and 10M viewers concert special 

Liddo's have no room to talk considering Love for Sale opened with 41,000 after three TV specials and 20 different variations.

 

OT. Not bad, but not great either. Hoping it's closer to 900,000 (or more) by the end of the week.

Are you really gonna pretend that this came out of nowhere? 

are you really trying to hide behind the fact some trolls used Adele's name to come for your fave to justify the obsession you all have grown for her?   You all are proving the fact you were pressed by her name used to undermine Taylor's sales and now you've been venting for days. 

[Beyonnaise]

Amazing numbers.

 

Adele and Taylor run pop  

[dylanx]

what are they gonna do with those 1.5m physical albums they produced

 

I bet this is why they had those aggressive discounts already at that Barnes and Noble

Is the first paragraph necessary?  If only loyalty translates to some decency. 

Loosen up. 

[Machete]

Then: "EOM debut proved there's immense anticipation for Adele on streaming. +100M is in the bag."

 

Later on: "Adele isn't a streaming artist. Her base buys in pure. +1.5M is still locked"

 

Now: "SWIFTIES!!!!!"

If it has the same multiplier of pure sales as 25 this would mean it sells less than 1.5M pure in TOTAL

what's the last album to do that?

[Into The Void]

I predicted 600k and when i saw all those people saying 1.5-2 m i was like they do realize its 2021 right?

[Assassin]

@Brandoget a hobby challenge!

Why would any label need to pay radio stations to play their artists' songs? I'll just leave that for you to ponder about for a minute

[ALA]

I knew it! Idk why y'all were so sure she'd sell more than 1m pure. We're in an era where sales are nonexistent besides vinyl. These are good #s and sadly 1m+ copies of an album first week for just sales is likely dead.

It’s a good thing she got that ban otherwise it would be a certain demi/Adele stan circa froyogate all over again 

 

[Diocles]

This is really bad for her
