And why Swifties conveniently forgot the existence of evermore aka Taylor's latest studio album?

Maybe cuz Taylor also forgot about it.  

There’s literally been ZERO promo for evermore. Imagine thinking Adele won cuz her HUGELY hyped comeback with MASSIVE promo is outselling a year old surprise drop album that came out less than 6 months after her previous (which also had very little promo compared to 30). The bar is SO low for Adele now. I thought she was above the music industry??

And the music industry doesn't revolve around the US (aka Taylor's home country and biggest market)

 

30 outsold like Taylor's last 5 releases combined in the UK and it's the top selling album globally of the year certified by IFPI so yes she's still at the top  The nitpicking is funny to see here

I live in the uk and red tv alone felt bigger than 30. No one below the age of 45 cared for 30 tbh

But it wasn’t and neither was any of her last 4 releases. Her fans do a great job of hyping her up and making her feel huge but the reality is different. Adele is the bigger star even with her so called flop era.

The difference is if Adele released 5 albums in two years, she wouldn’t do anywhere near as well as Taylor is. People would get tired fast

She doesn’t have to. If Taylor released every 5/6 years she wouldn’t be as big either because people lose interest. Taylor released 4 albums and 2 re releases so 6 projects since Adele’s 25, that’s a whole career for some artists.

30 probably already outsold folklore if you take out all the bundles and signed CDs. 

Folklore - 3.3M

30 - 2.3M

 

And no, Folklore didn't sell 1M signed CDs or bundles. Not even close.

After 25, Taylor released 4 different albums and 30 will end up bigger than only 1 of them globally. If world doesn't turn around US, it doesn't turn around UK either and i don't see how are we hyping Taylor when Adele's last release is struggling to compete with 3/4 of Taylor's last releases.

 

So called bigger star is getting less streams than Olivia (artist with only 1 album) and on par with Rihanna (who didn't release anything for years) daily, let alone being comparable to artist who is getting 3x streams daily.

Some Adele fans thought that she would destroy others but ended up at #3 on global artists, now she's slowing down a lot so far this year. Watch the same users backtracking. A mess, a pee, a cackle

They are not even Adele fans to be fair. One is Hive and one is whoeveragainstTaylor stan. 

At this point, they are just trying to convince themselves that Adele is still that artist because they deep down know they can't use anyone to desperately drag Taylor anymore since Adele was the only one they could hide behind.

Imagine the Swifties meltdowns over the chart placements if Adele ever rerecorded 21…….. 

Adele doesn’t have the type of fan base who would care about that. Nobody’s auntie or grandma is gonna re-buy 21, but their daughters will re-buy Red

She was #3 but was still #1 in albums overall, pure sales and vinyls. Others didn't even get there in any department.

Still above overall. Kinda disappointed that the hype comeback can't outdo artist who released rerecords

Above overall because it's 10 albums vs 4. But y'all will always do y'all.

Which still counts for IFPI. My point still stands. 10 albums  v 4. It would be sad if she wasn't #1... WAIT, SHE WASN'T.

In one department. A cute #2.

Imagine putting all that effort just to end up beneath the group with the bigger base.

Every single time you try to drag/shade Taylor Global Artist List, you do shade your fav too since she did even worse 

[MardinBeksloy]

Adele fans resorting to overshipped pure sale and vinyl sale now omg  
The way it took her to flop so hard for them to get used to their fav no longer being untouchable. At this point, 25 was still in top 5, if not #1.   

[enchanted0]

OTHs now have reached to the point of creating an imaginary rerecording album from Adele  Truly pathetic. 

[Orsay]

The older dems are listening to their physical albums which made 30 the best selling album of 2021. Not y'all being ageist thinking they shouldn't count
