Her discography is moving at such a rapid pace that her team might not deem it worthy to pay for certifications that'll be outdated already in just a few months. I can see them only pay for Diamond certifications moving forward, and ofc only for her post-Lover material.

Ugh, we really need RIAA to be automatic like the UK certifications system. 

Lolol, Imagine how insanely successful you need to be for the statement, “I only pay to certify diamond records” to make sense.

The STABILITY, i swear 

[Mr. Duff]

I'm honestly surprised Karma's streams have held up. It had a short stint in the top ten in the Hot 100 but it's still pulling in great streams. I feel like Lavender Haze fizzled out quickly and wasn't really able to get back into the top ten, but it felt like the bigger song, I don't know. Maybe it's just me.

I don't know if it's coming from your own copy/paste or the account from which you get the numbers, but if it's yours, I just wanted to point out that Fearless is there twice instead of Red (it's also been true for the last few days). 

 

Just taking this opportunity to thank you again for keeping this thread updated.

[Michael196]

first month to month decline since february and yet it tripled august of last year and became the second biggest month in history.

she now holds the two biggest months ever which also are the only 3B months for any artist.

september will most definitely drop below 3B, but october & november are going to join july & august.mp3 in the 3B club...

 

also... with 17.62B in the first 8 months, she might be able to surpass the biggest yearly total so far (20.4B Bad Bunny in 2022) by the end of september, if not, she'll achieve in the first week of october and build a significant lead by the end of the year.

Exactly. Reputation haters love to act as if the album is so disliked but that's far from being true, the recurrents streams are amazing. Yeah it's not as big as Lover but who cares seriously? That doesn't make it a flop. I can't wait for the TV version

Lover also had a brand new track tacked on this year, AND has a current single! Reputation will demolish when it has these perks

The November update will be completely monstrous cause of 1989 TV and the South American tour leg, I don't think we're ready for that

Surprised to see august didn't collapsed at all. I wonder how long it'll stay that high.

I am confident august will blast passed 1B streams in 2024 already. Insane  

 

and if it gets single treatment like CS it will be 2.5-3B. It’s literally a classic already
