I think Taylor is a subpar artist and do not like her at all but she’s bigger than Adele here. Adele’s peak was bigger (than anyone except MJ/Beatles) but Taylor’s consistently a huge force and the overall numbers speak for themselves. I do agree that Adele is still the #1 artist globally.

When we know damn well who started this bs, starting with the date change thread/album thread/hdd and chart threads... let alone the anticipation and frequent threads for the past two years waiting for her to come and finally be the one to wash Tay, but they ended up on the same level... can we be happy for both and shut the f up, do you thrive over sh it like this?

WildHeart Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 (edited) 2 hours ago, Zaynsus said: Funny how Adele's second fanbase spent years shaming other artists' pure sales because "the GP wouldn't want to spend money on them and streaming is free" and now, they keep bragging about streaming numbers and how streaming shows "genuine GP interest". How convenient. GTFO out of here with your hypocrisy. This could make more sense if she wasn't highest pure seller with over 2M pure sales in US this year alone. "Performing good at both" part was the thing that wasn't clicking for some of you in 2018 and we just see the results of it in 2021 now... And it is no one's problem but yours that you can't sense very clear sarcasm. 49 minutes ago, JawBreaker said: So true Not Bilboard Edited December 1, 2021 by Artistofthedecade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folklore's second week didn't have vinyls on store nor physical copies, only digital sales. https://headlineplanet.com/home/2020/08/07/taylor-swifts-folklore-tops-second-week-sales-projection-remains-1-in-united-states/. It still managed to do over 100K streaming units though, something that is hard to achieve without a smash hit carrying +-30% of the daily streams of your album. Not everyone has that to their credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Americana Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 4 minutes ago, feuxtography said: No ****, because Adele is unarguably bigger than taylor considering she couldn't get these second week numbers even with bundles. Lmao... What bundles? The different covers and vinyls were for the first week ONLY and there were no vinyls left to purchase after that because the standard sold out. folklore had zero physicals copies in stores. Meanwhile Adele had massive playlisting, released around Christmas time where people consume more than ever, first day of second week falls on Black Friday, overstocked in every store possible to the point where her albums are shoved in your face at every corner. This is not a fair comparison. You do know what's fair? Comparing SEA units... And we don't even have to go back to folklore to make a point. Predicted biggest SEA units this week 1. 30 (second week with a stable mega smash hit) - 56K 2. RED TV (third week) - 55K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headlock Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 2 hours ago, Gaia said: Are you saying Taylor's promotion is worse because....she promoted during release week? Aka the people who see her promotion could BUY her album as she promoted it? Adele had one TV promotion PRIOR to release week and it was exclusive to her. No one had to watch it and it actually makes it harder to make people interested in an entire hour dedicated to one singer just talking about her life and music. Adele didn't even debut a music video with 30 You're equating that to Taylor having the following ON release week: SNL skits + Performance Short Film/Music Video release + bringing up drama with an A-list actor Late Night with Jimmy Fallon Late Night with Seth Meyer There's this thing called "pre-orders" that I want to introduce you to. You know all of that promo Adele did? Yeah, that drove pre-orders See this is an argument I will never understand. Everyone whines and bitches about their faves (although I know Adele isn't one of your faves so we can exclude you from that part ) not promoting enough, and then we they do any kind of promotion, it becomes a game of who promoted less. That isn't something to brag about, that's sad lmao. Both Adele and Taylor promoted their album, and both could have promoted it more, Adele during release week, and Taylor before release week.
