That still doesn't explain why Swifties have taken up residence in all the Adele threads and anything to do with 30.

The OP should edit TS out of the thread title, tbh.

Adele vs Taylor stans is a nice change of pace for ATRL as opposed to fanbases of famed pop stars from 20 years ago fighting.

Today where the "hit song" is outstreaming the lead single of a album during its album release week despite the miniscule album boost.

It's currently outstreaming your fave's lead single from her hotly anticipated album after a 6 year hiatus. Mind you it's a 9 year old 10 minute song

Adele's base here have been belittling and maligning Taylor for 6 years, calling her all sorts of names. Before the release of 30, she'll be brought up in a negative manner every few pages. If the swift base did the same, we would be called obsessed and deranged . Not to mention what's been happening since the announcement of 30. You can't claim innocence now that the numbers are out. 

THIS! I mean the victim complex in here is insane. SINCE THE FIRST DAY OF HELLO, Taylor has been dragged to hell and back for not reaching 25's sales (as if that's something anyone else besides Adele can do). Now that Adele number's have come out to be huge but not as close as she was and swifties put Adele stan to their place - we're the one to blame. And the thing is no one said Adele is a flop nor unsuccessful. Adele's success stans just taste from their own medicine now.

Adele is back to earth y'all. Both girls are equally slaying.

The way Taylor stans have to claim everything is racist against China so they can use unscrupulous numbers to boost their fave’s stats  

 

Obviously nobody is going to buy into the sales numbers of a market who claims they had the biggest selling digital single ever in under 24 hours and the best-selling single ever in less than a year when the rest of the world combined, during a period where sales were actually alive, couldn’t match the numbers of one tiny market during the streaming era where sales are totally dead.

 

The fact that we have to resort to fabricated sales numbers from countries with no regulation system to compete with Adele shows us just how big her album 30 is  

The best selling Physical Album in China is at 2.4M. We aren't buying it.

 

In US it's around 30M.

Like the Adele and the Fake Adele stans have been doing to Taylor out of the blue for the past month because she changed her release date? 

[Anna-Artdeco]

The mighty Adele isn’t mighty anymore. These are simpleton numbers. They’re obviously super good but y’all been running your mouths about “Adelecalypse” and how “she’ll wash all our faves” 

 

She didn’t wash anyone. Least of all Taylor. She’s sitting pretty pulling massive numbers with multiple releases in a year. Adele’s doing 800K after all that humongous promo and a 6 year break lol. 
 

And anybody who’s acting like these numbers aren’t a disappointment are lying.

DELE2125 is actually a KatyCat hiding behind Adele to drag Taylor because they can't use Katy anymore.

I love how there are 0 people who genuinely interested in Adele. Everything is a conspiracy against Taylor. Like fave like stan. Always the center of the universe and constantly acting like victims

Lana's last album opened with 33,000 sales. 

 

Adele will sell 25x more than that. She certainly did wash Lana.

A 6 year break would kill any artist's carreer not named Michael Jackson or Adele. Taking a huge break as a pop artist is the biggest risk an artist can take regarding his popularity and relevancy. There's a reason why Taylor as soon as she hit 30 years old began releasing albums and "for the fans" songs like pancakes; she knows that the moment she decides to take a long break is game over for her.

 

And Adele didn't wash anyone? Didn't Adele outsell Lana's last album total sales within 1 day of 30 being released?

Judging by this, you are the one reaching. It's nothing new that some people use Adele to attack Taylor, just look at Sazare (a Carly stan).

It’s literally true though, DELE2125 was a massive troll. It’s not our fault other stans do this. We all know there are actual Daydreamers, but they’re not usually the ones dragging other artists.

Adele may not be able to outdebut Taylor Swift's 8th studio album, but she sure washed Lana Del Rey

I'm not denying SOME people do. But throughout this entire week, ANYONE who prefers Adele over Taylor or just isn't up Taylor's ass is credited as an OTH who is hiding behind Adele. Someone in this thread called me and Ariana stan hiding behind Adele to bash Taylor when:

 

1. I have never bought an Ariana album in my life

2. She's not even in my sig

3. Since when do Ari and Taylor stans even have beef?

 

 

The funny thing is, you can literally go back and see me defending Taylor's Lover sales during release week 

 

Quote

She probably sold more than 2-200 combined so yeah, a huge feat even if the dying album sales market made another million opener not possible

 

Like  

 

The irony is you guys are doing EXACTLY what people did to Taylor in 2019.

As I responded above, obviously Taylor has some dedicated haters. But you guys are now just saying anyone who likes Adele is a fake stan. Almost every person in here who prefers Adele to Taylor has been called a "So and so fan hiding behind Adele"

 

Like I wouldn't even mind the stan war, it's just that mentality that no one can stan Adele unless there's an ulterior motive to hate/bash Taylor that is ridiculous.

[Badgalbriel]

Is 833k the final number? I was actually expecting it to pull like 900k

[Cleanromantic]

25 opened with 3.3 million  30s debut week is barely above a fourth of that number. And The Adele to Taylor are not in the same situation at all:

Adele is a universally loved and revered figure, Taylor is polarising and has gone through multiple backlash eras, Adele releases every 5/6 years and commands attention for a short period of time then disappears, Taylor is omnipresent in the public eye, Adele is coddled, Taylor is denigrated... That Adele is doing Lover/folklore numbers while being the omnipotent powerful star that she is is very shocking . But the way they're perceived is what shaped their musical journeys so far: Taylor is always challenged so she always has to outdo and reinvent herself and work hard to sway the media and the public to her corner, Adele is adored and rewarded for her every move which made her comfortably release the same album over and over again without reinvention, and it looks like it finally caught up to her. No amount of critical acclaim caused by Poptimism and hype will mask the fact that this is a huge decline.

She washed everyone but Taylor swift. These are not simpleton numbers.
