Hopefully her health comes first. Congrats Adele and her Adelators. On a serious note, Adele is doing great, better than great even, it's just that Taylor is stomping on everyone. We grew up with Taylor, our loyalty is unprecedented. , Is the first paragraph necessary? If only loyalty translates to some decency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 It comes as no surprise as her last album was released 6 years ago. Probably would have done better If she had made more contact with her fans instead of swanning around with male rappers and sports agents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean it's the biggest debut of the year... what's there to drag? Everybody knew 25's first week sales were an anomaly and she was never going to get close to that again, especially with the decline in the industry overall. Albums just don't sell anymore and the change in the industry was always going to catch up with her and her team's relatively outdated model. She's still one of the biggest musicians on the planet. The fact that even a huge decline for her still leaves her on top says it all. This is honestly probably about as good as anyone can do anymore. Her focus going forwards needs to be on building a bigger platform on streaming but I honestly don't think she cares enough to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starchild Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 5 minutes ago, gloamingtheplain said: I mean she’s doing these numbers without bundles, and under the new rules. Taylor hit 846k and benefited from bundles, and without them debited with like 350k. She’s obviously improved with Red, but it’s hard to say how much nostalgia is actually benefitting Red and whether new music would perform the same. Evermore had no physicals (which artists rely on alot looking at Adeles and Taylor’s huge physical sales) vinyls, cds , and still did almost 400k she would’ve locked 600-700k, not even far from Adele who used to sell almost 3mil. They are extremely close, they both are huge atm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

family.guy123 Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 3 minutes ago, Brando said: I'm almost convinced the positive reviews were paid for. Like how do you give an album that has dead-eyed, soulless songs like I Drink Wine, Hold On, and Love is Game each of which just drags and drags absolutely nowhere for nearly 7 minutes.... and then also has absolutely cringe uptempo attempts like Cry Your Heart Out and Can I Get It a positive review like 90 or even 100. This album is a 6/10 at the absolute max If your question is genuine, the answer is that people simply disagree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is all this fandom really is - hatred. especially towards other women in the music industry or actress on a Netflix show that hurt Taylor's fragile ego. Nothing new or shocking. They can finally move on from Adele and find another victim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toxicity. Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 The amount of unsold CDs at retailers.... they'll have to sell eventually right..? I don't even think 500k pure will hold up through the week and her streaming is plummeting. The days of 1M+ are officially dead and gone. Reputation got the last week ever.

WildHeart Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 11 minutes ago, Starkboy said: what makes you think surprise releases debut lower than anticipated releases? Bey's biggest debuts were surprise releases. Folklore wasn't even available at Targets 8 minutes ago, Gaia said: Taylor will be able to. With 10 versions of the album fueling her fanbase to buy more than one copy. She can’t do it without gimmicks to fuels sales. These numbers for Adele are genuine GP interest. Red did 600k+ with only one version. So you are telling us Adele can only do 200k more with a brand new album? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
