It didn't. It is a over a million units behind folklore in the US. 

 

Pretty much before the release. Even after the release some people were quite confident it would outsell folklore at the very least. 

 

Not to mention that one user who said Adele would be out-streaming Taylor for months. Quite a few of those users are in the thread 

Who cares what people said 6 months ago

 

Get over it

As you said, pure sales in 2022 are pretty low so every publication in the world includes streams when the topic is "sales" and emphasizes if it is only about "pure sales". 

 

Units = sales in 2022. 

 

People moving goal topic to pure sales to claim 30 is bigger than Folklore when Folklore has more units is just nonsencial.

30 hasn’t even outsold Tones and I’s last album let alone any Taylor album. And last time I checked, we’re in the streaming era so streams are greater than pure sales because unlike pure sales, which are produced en masse by labels by hogging up vinyl factories for artists who clearly don’t have the demand, streams are legit. If people stream your work, they stream it, period. 
 

The more embarrassing part is how 30 is being outcharted by RED TV in USA and is nearly pulling the same units as 1989 - a freaking 2014 album in UK, her home turf. The floppage was bad for ha.

I didn't have Brishka in mind when I made this thread. There were plenty of members super sure about 30 outselling several of the past Taylor albums both in the US and WW

And i didn't save it, someone in my Discord group posted it to laugh at the week ATRL was deleting threads and i posted it from there as you can see from the URL.

I mean I understand what you are getting at but the topic is about 30 outselling those 3 projects and it in fact did by the pure sales benchmark so the statement isn't factually wrong, which is what I'm getting at. 

 

also Strihms will never be equivalent to someone having a physical or digital copy of your album. the same applies to songs. One person holding your album or song indefinitely is way more impressive than thousands of people strihming it to make up one alleged "sale".

They both generate revenue for the artist, also streaming had a lower carbon footprint than any physical format, what's your point?

[KOMH]

People acting as if 30 will ever reach Lover or Reputation's total pure sales in the US

GP is over Adele I fear.

Time to gain the weight back

No one means "pure sales" when talking about "outsold" in 2022. Give it up delicies
