the logic flew completely over your heads :jonnycat:

the point was that you can't discount overall career success just because you want to focus on 1 or 2 albums that did exceptionally well 

We are focusing on all 4 :jonnycat: even 19 has sold over 12M WW :jonnycat:

Which is more than TS, Speak Now, Reputation, Lover, Folklore, Evermore, Fearless TS and Red TS :jonnycat:

:ahh:

 

The way the prediction keeps going DOWN! and now the Adele success stans have to cling to 21 and 25 sales.


We’re talking about 30 in this thread, darlings! Time to stop living in 2011 — though I realize it’s confusing for everyone since Taylor just shifted 600k of an album from 2012.

The fact that people can name like 4-5 of Taylor’s Exs isn’t a good thing. Hardly anyone knows who Adele has dated or married :toofunny3:

you hear that Taylor Swift?? you can't lay your eyes on famous men!!!! you can't make music about them!!! ?

How is it going down? it was 800k to 850k before.

Yes, we can talk about the album that in 3 days has already became the best selling album of the year surpassing the girl you're trying to say it's bigger than her by the way :bibliahh:

It would have opened with over 1M back in 2018/2019, she just waited too much for releasing new music. That being said, these numbers are still amazing and just like her last album, the best opening of the year. :jonnycat:

Yall talking about overall career sales to distract us from the fact that Adele is going from 3.4m to 833k sales first week huh? I know this is hard for you, Adele stans and OTH. I know yall were waiting for HDD to predict 2m sales so yall would be here celebrating how Adele "the real music industry" is DESTROYING Taylor Swift :laugh:

 

I actually like Adele, but this is so entertaining.

Poor Katycats, Little Monsters, Rihanna Navy, Arianators, Belieber :ahh:

Not the girls going back to 21 sales already omg :skull:

Underwhelming streaming numbers. This won’t have legs Past Christmas. She should’ve released sooner.

The music industry easily getting the biggest first week of the year + since the rule change, with no gimmicks, no bloated tracklists with 30 songs, no desperate discounts and remixes :clap3:

Not gonna lie, i'm quite disappointed with the number (and so is Columbia and Sony, i guess). But this is still a great number.

Am I supposed to be distraught about the fact that Adele is selling 200k more than an almost decade old album? wut? :rip: 

 

Congrats I guess. It shouldn’t even be remotely that close :rofl:

You’re right, this is gonna have no legs, and I see tons of Adele success stans are in denial about that :skull: They don’t live in 2021. 

 

Pure sales pretty much crater for every album now after the first week. You need great streaming numbers to keep up the momentum after that.

I'm pretty sure at this point Taylor Swift is only competing with Taylor Swift.

 

And Adele, she is not competing with anyone, even herself.

 

"21" was a moment. It's music history that will never be forgotten and impacted millions of people's lives. "25" wasn't as impactful, but it sure was a blockbuster moment in music that everyone wanted to be apart of. 

 

Plenty of people still clearly love Adele, but it is what it is.

OTHs and Adele success stans really LOST this week. They kept predicting this will sell 1M plus and obliterate stream records but BOTH did not happen. TV specials, Oprah interview, VIP treatment for vinyl production, Spotify promotion page, TTH, playlisting, TV commercial ads, ads on various famous buildings around the biggest cities, radio payolas and comeback hype barely help plus the fact that these OTHs and success stans are all defensive, they are in the losing position huh  :sistrens:

 

Good hold for The Music Industry's re-recorded album :clap3:

She will probably hold out throughout the holiday season - 30 is the only record you can even buy at many major retailers, and it makes a good stocking stuffer.

That “almost a decade old album” has remixed/re-recorded versions of all previous songs, plus 9 new songs, plus extended/deluxe version of songs which were not included in the album last time.

 

It’s basically a remix album + a brand new album in one package.

For the love of god, both women are slaying the game BOTH women are the music industry. Can we please just celebrate 30 in this thread, and Taylor in her threads? Or hell just celebrate the fact that there are at the very least two women that can outperform even the biggest male stars? Like c’mon, let’s see the forest and not just focus on which tree is bigger

It's so funny how people here have spent years screaming ADELE IS COMING expecting the world to fall apart as soon as she dropped her album but here we are now november 2021 and her first week sales are merely 200k higher than a re-recording of an album that already smashed 9 years ago by an artist who is supposedly leagues above her. And the same people are throwing clap emojis all around acting SO positively surprised by these numbers like we don't know they are swallowing them like they're shattered glass. You cannot make this **** up :lmao:
