PoisonedIvy Posted October 25, 2022 Posted October 25, 2022 5 minutes ago, Hector said: Tuesday, October 25, 2022 A TAILORED TOP 20 Taylor Swift achieves the fifth million-selling first week of her career with the debut of Midnights (Republic). She not only sets the record for the most first-week streams by a female artist—which is about 500m besting Ariana Grande’s 307m for Thank U, Next—but she also becomes the first artist to surpass 1m since ticket/merch bundles were disallowed on the charts. The last album to open north of 1m was Swift’s Reputation (Republic) in November 2017 with 1.24m. YoungBoy NBA's Ma' I Got a Family (NBA/Atlantic) opens in the Top 10, as does Arctic Monkey's The Car (Domino) and Jeezy & DJ Drama's SNOFALL (Def Jam), while Carly Rae Repsen's The Loneliest Time (School Boy/Interscope) debuts Top 20. Now if you'll excuse us, we've got to practice our Swift-inspired dance moves ahead this weekend's festivities. Carly top 20 This chart really shows how amazing it is
By the Water Posted October 25, 2022 Posted October 25, 2022 1.47M would put her at #6 for the calendar year so far
PoisonedIvy Posted October 25, 2022 Posted October 25, 2022 So wait it’s ALREADY at 1.4M units? Or is that their official prediction for the entire first week?
ChatshireCat Posted October 25, 2022 Posted October 25, 2022 carly top 20, midnights murdering everyone
Blade Runner Posted October 25, 2022 Posted October 25, 2022 Jesus. I almost feel bad for everyone else.

TaylenaStan Posted October 25, 2022 Posted October 25, 2022 #2-#10 combined: 425k Midnights streaming units alone: 460k

WonderstruckFR Posted October 25, 2022 Posted October 25, 2022 Billboard announces more than 1,3M SPS after 4 days, already crossed a million pure sales According to initial reports to Luminate, the album, which was released on Oct. 21, has earned more than 1.3 million equivalent album units in the U.S. through its first four days of release (through Oct. 24). Of that sum, traditional album sales comprise more than 1 million across all available formats (multiple digital album download, CD, vinyl and cassette variants). Vinyl LP sales for the title have surpassed 500,000. https://www.billboard.com/music/chart-beat/taylor-swift-midnights-sales-record-breaking-start-1235159835/
SleepingTigers Posted October 25, 2022 Posted October 25, 2022 Most likely to stop at 1.5 if it goes any higher probably amazing numbers

WonderstruckFR Posted October 25, 2022 Posted October 25, 2022 Also 357M US streams in 4 days Additionally, in its first four days, the album’s 20 songs have generated more than 357 million on-demand official streams (audio and video combined) in the U.S. That 357 million sum is the largest streaming week for an album in 2022, by total streams for its collected songs. It is also the largest streaming week ever for an album by a non-R&B/hip-hop title, or for any album by a female artist. Previously, 2022’s largest streaming week – and the biggest week for a non-R&B/hip-hop set ever – was logged by the debut frame of Bad Bunny’s Un Verano Sin Ti (356.55 million; chart dated May 21). In terms of albums by female artists, Midnights surpasses the debut week of Ariana Grande’s Thank U, Next (it launched with 307.07 million streams for its collected songs on the chart dated Feb. 23, 2019). She’s clearly doing more than what HDD is predicting, she’s at least crossing 1,5M
ALA Posted October 25, 2022 Posted October 25, 2022 (edited) Mmm yeah this ain't doing less than 200k for days 5-7 500k vinyls Edited October 25, 2022 by ALA
simmnfierzig Posted October 25, 2022 Posted October 25, 2022 416k streaming units Drake did 562k. His Apple Music numbers were really on a whole other level Hopefully she can clear 1.5M
Ms. Togekiss Posted October 25, 2022 Posted October 25, 2022 Hopefully she can clear 1.5M but sales really slowed down (as expected). This won’t sell over 100k pure albums next week (unless she ships out some more vinyl) but the great thing is that streaming is holding up pretty nicely I can see it getting multiple 100k+ weeks
wastedpotential Posted October 25, 2022 Posted October 25, 2022 I have a gut feeling that this is going to settle between 1.525 and 1.575
