Bribe Posted July 30, 2022 Posted July 30, 2022 Not surprised ATRL is already trying to downplay these numbers. These are amazing numbers these days. I don't think any female artist has debuted with higher after they stopped counting bundles, sans Taylor and Adele. The fact that Bey could do around Sour's debut (295k) is amazing.

Everyone knows only Taylor could pull off this re-recording ish. I think they're still bitter that none of Taylor's albums have reached the success and acclaim of 21 & 25.

It's not a complete bomb but it's still nothing to really brag about Bey debuted in 1997. The only one keeping up with these numbers is Eminem and ONLY him aka the biggest rapper alive. This just further proves that she IS indeed what the media portrays her to be. She's about to have the #1 album (and maybe #1 single) in the US and UK and an opening week close to or above 300k. Even Madonna was declining strongly at that point in her career (shortly before the MDNA era).

Not you Hiding with Adele whos latest album is about to leave the top 100 Edited July 30, 2022 by foreverwinter13
Destiny Posted July 30, 2022 Posted July 30, 2022 1 single. Zero videos. Zero live performances. The way she always wins without any tricks or games
on the line Posted July 30, 2022 Posted July 30, 2022 Eek. I don't really follow sales these days, but this is dismal. I'm shocked!

Rihanna can easily surpass this when she release.

kandicha Posted July 30, 2022 Posted July 30, 2022 nice numbers. I really love this album and hope it can pull off some longevity.
BGKC Posted July 30, 2022 Posted July 30, 2022 The fact that she’s doing all of this almost completely solo with no features, no music videos, no performances, experimenting new sounds, and in her 4th decade is great The people that want to see her fail, convince themselves any of this is an underperformance is running on misogyny and microagressions I fear. I just hope she serves us greatness at the VMAs with a second single released that same weekend, she’ll really depend on that to sustain longevity. A music video would be nice too

Archetype Posted July 30, 2022 Posted July 30, 2022 After 20+ years in the industry, this is impressive
Dreajae Posted July 30, 2022 Posted July 30, 2022 I said at least half of what Lemonade did. I think these figures are solid but conservative. Supposedly physicals in Target have pick up. And do the boxes count?

SO extra Anyways, GREAT numbers and the haters are already out of their minds Edited July 30, 2022 by genio

My statement regarding Taylor not having any albums reaching the acclaim and success of 21 & 25 remains accurate. That is peak success that Taylor hasn't/won't reach.
