200k pure?

In their defense, I do not think anyone really expected the re-recordings to go this well.  Taylor is having an unprecedented level of success with them.  

Yeah, Red TV was probably shipped as though it was going to do Fearless TV numbers. Taylor and team definitely underestimated demand for this one  Hoping it won’t happen with the rest, though I’m sure it’s not easy to get right.

…That was Lemonade’s first full week, hardly comparable.

 

30’s #s are way more impressive.

Lemonade was released on a Saturday so its first week was still 6 days.  You make it sound like its first tracking week was only 3 days like Self-titled. 

Thee music industry demand is too powerful for anyone to compete but herself with herself

not the swifites already holding on to the dear life for the argument (sea units) they're gonna use all week long to cry over 30s amazing 2nd week sales

wow at Adele's pure sales

 

Black Friday hasn't had an effect on albums for years now. as you can see in the other albums numbers (literally only Adele and Taylor selling +20k)

What????? If she crosses 258k, that means that it will be the biggest 2nd week of sales for a female album ever since 25

 

Reputation 2nd week - 258k
Lover 2nd week - 178k

Folkore - 130k

Evermore - 169k

Sour - 193k

 

Those can't be real... I had no idea they were that frontloaded

wow, a really strong second week.  almost doubling folklore's second week if these numbers are correct 

i was too impressed by Adele & Taylor's hold, i didn't notice SOUR also doing numbers! 17k pure & back to #6? Black friday & Grammy effect

Great hold for Adele 

Taylor stomping in her third week

With only a handful of them being new and the rest 10 years old.

Red’s hold   She’s probably kicking herself for not ordering more vinyl

Honestly, I think it was really hard to predict fan support for RED.  The original release of Fearless was significantly bigger, but Red really garnered more acclaim and love long after its release.  I am actually really interested in how the other releases go.  I am not sure 1989 will be bigger than Red and Speak Now seems like a complete wildcard to me. 

Not bad for a flop 

contrary to what ATRLers believe, Adele isn’t a flop 

 

Adele and Taylor are both slaying, let’s celebrate that 

 

 

Amazing numbers for Adele

Do you know how it works?  

Red is a long album and the most streamed song is 10 minute long  

Good for her.

Tbh I don't think so. Longevity relies on big streaming numbers. This is barely doing 50k SEA second week.

But it never debuted with lots of streams to begin with. The drop in streams was still great so it definitely will have longevity. Especially considering the hold 30 has on Apple Music US. Truly remarkable  Also do not forget that she has a SMASH hit and smash hits are what carries the album SPS and keeps the longevity. Also no promoted second single yet. When the Christmas freeze will be over, they might promote OMG as a single with a MV and this will boost the SPS even more! 

Queen of longevity 

both ladies doing great numbers!

Literally no one in this thread was dragging anything and you already have to try and start something else in here, go away 

The usual two users that are OTH are already on this thread. How childish

The streaming is eh...

 

Her sales saving her
