[slw84]

She keeps proving herself over and over again.

Congrats Taylor! Hold on those numbers because Ava will double these with Diamonds & Dancefloors out January 27!

Now that she has 1M debut in the bag, she should split those signed vinyls/CD and send them weekly to different local record stores like she did folklore for those double digits at #1. 

[Planet Mars]

Who's she competition against? Absolutely bonkers! 

 

 

[LanaDReyOnline]

This is insane 

[Taylucifer]

THE MUSIC INDUSTRY (but we already knew that )

[LanaDReyOnline]

She has ZERO competition

[Cruel Summer]

To put this in perspective, here are some highlights from the YTD top fifty according to HDD (note that a bunch of these were released last year):

30 | DRAKE | HONESTLY, NEVERMIND | 654,000

(source: HITS Daily Double, WEEK ENDING: 10/06/2022)

 

This puts her as high as #7, maybe #6 YTD after just the first week, and it puts #2 in reach I think. The lowest this prediction sees her starting at is #13 or so YTD (factoring in the missing weeks)

[Taylor fanboy]

AMERICA let’s beat 1989. OMFG

 

Piss on Scooter’s grave for the Nth time!

[Katamari]

She’s insane

 

Deserved tho  

[doonerr]

Little Swifites already starting the Adele discourse

 

We're so tired

[Sadie Saxton]

Over 1m in 2022 is actually insane 

[Iiketheair]

oh wow oh wow oh wow

 

[Material Girl]

[Cheers]

I knew it. OG Midnights Stan’s keep winning.

I truly thought 30 pulling 800k would never be topped in the post-bundle era, with ~650k being the maximum any artist could do.

 

And now she's about to pull a milli with ease. Her power actually scares me.

[HeavyMetalAura]

Honestly thought the days of 1M+ debuts were over. Congrats Taylor! 

 

(shame it's for her second-worst album IMO, but clearly 1.2 million people liked it so what do I know) 

[TheArgonaut]

November 2021 never looked to be such an ugly date to Adele's "stans".

The fact that RED TV is about to pass 30 total sales in the US too
