Taylor's smashery

[Meev]

It's such a shame that X, Juice World and Pop Smoke passed. They would have been such forces right now 

[KillingYourCareer]

[UnusualBoy]

NCT is not counted as a whole group on IFPI and BTS sold a lot of back catalogue this year so UWC is definitely wrong this time lol 

[Taylena]

NCT and their 23489308057845904 sub-units. 

[Gorjesspazze9]

Still impressive that NCT was called SM’s first flop and now they are thier biggest physical sellers?what happen? I didn’t know they were   Getting this big

[PopFan1996]

Not Adele coming back in the last 2 months of 2021 and doing these numbers

Really the music industry and no one is on her level literally

Edited January 13, 2022 by PopFan1996

[Literature]

Taylor is insane. She ended 2021 w around 15 million album units shifted far above any other competition....she would be guaranteed the #1 spot this year and last if it wasn't for BTS. Ugh

[CristianGarcia]

Now who snuck NTC into the list 

[Johnny Jacobs]

Billie out the top 10
