ALA Posted October 23, 2022 Posted October 23, 2022 If this is at 800k pure already surely it should do more than 1.4m with streaming. How high can this go

MardinBeksloy Posted October 23, 2022 Posted October 23, 2022 7 hours ago, itsjem said: here we go again with the variants lament again (even with 1M in question) She has 5 different version available for CD and 5 for vinyls (I'm sure you don't want to count clean & explicit as different version, that's just stupid) Here's some recent album that had variants when they came out Lana's Chemtrails Adele's 30 https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/adele-30-album-stream-buy-online-1256455/ "A handful of deluxe physical editions of 30 were made available for purchase through select retailers. The Target-exclusive deluxe edition adds two bonus tracks and a duet version of "Easy on Me" with American singer-songwriter Chris Stapleton.[59][60] White-colored vinyl LPs were sold via Amazon, while transparent LPs were sold by Walmart. Cassette tapes of 30 were exclusively sold on Adele's webstore, as part of box sets.[61] A HMV-exclusive edition of 30 , with an alternate sleeve, was also sold". Olivia's SOUR Demi's TAOSO "Multiple versions of the album were issued with different album covers including three variations for DTC versions of the album via Lovato's website,[14] as well as a UK exclusive cover[15] and another version for Target in the United States. The UK versions all feature an additional bonus track, while the Target version adds two bonus tracks in addition to the different album cover.[16] Dancing with the Devil... the Art of Starting Over was also made available in a bundle featuring the three exclusive album covers along with either the UK-specific cover or the general standard edition cover.[17] Multiple DTC cassette variations were made available for preorder via Lovato's website. All three alternate covers have their own cassette variations exclusive to the UK,[18] while the American cassette release uses the standard edition cover art." And countless others, Bey had 4 different box set to pre-order on her website for Renaissance etc. etc. It's not like having multiple versions doesn't count if they don't sell as well as Taylor's. Not to say that she's also shattering streaming records (and before the 20 tracks!!111!! excuse comes around, she reached the Spotify record with only the 13 standard tracks). Saving these tea to counter OTHs
PrettyHurts Posted October 23, 2022 Posted October 23, 2022 (edited) Was not expecting this level of stomp. Incredible numbers Edited October 23, 2022 by PrettyHurts

Taylor has always had a negative / controversial image for one reason another Speak Now: “cant sing, fakes being surprised” Red: “not making real country, serial dater” 1989: “greedy, calculated, local, the squad is annoying” reputation: Snakegate; everything Lover: ME! happened (YNTCD & the Man too honestly) but folklore and evermore rehabilitated her image as a serious musician and a respectable artist. (Critics and her peers) Fearless TV came in and re established the long-standing bond with her fanbase, banking on the nostalgia of those of us that have been around since 2008. (Her fanbase) and Red TV was just a SOLID album and reintroduction of Taylor into the public. (The GP) Now that shes collected the respect of the her peers and critics, solidified her fanbase’s love for her, and won over the GP for the first time in a longtime, Midnights is a perfect storm reaping all those rewards.

There's no way Republic had prepared for this kind of supply, considering they are already moving on to promo Drake x 21 next week. Maybe Taylor should have hoarded all those vinyl factories instead of 30 ?.
Villas Posted October 23, 2022 Posted October 23, 2022 If we divide her sales through this whole “20 versions”, it would get 40k sales each version. That’s more than Love for Sale pure copies
Cloröx Posted October 23, 2022 Posted October 23, 2022 Is it delusional thinking that she will do 1.5M
Holy Ground Posted October 23, 2022 Posted October 23, 2022 She did the right thing by interrupting the re-recording era, this stompage and hype couldn't have been wasted on a TV

wwshooter Posted October 23, 2022 Posted October 23, 2022 The crazy chain of events today! Like a ******* fever dream! And this is NOT even my top 5 Taylor albums (WCS is shooting for top 5 song for sure). What the **** is going on!!!
Aramis Posted October 23, 2022 Posted October 23, 2022 As an obsessed flavorless artists hater I'm devasted. The power of the white girls and the gays is insane.
Cruel Summer Posted October 23, 2022 Posted October 23, 2022 Doing what the two biggest debuts this decade so far did in their first week In a single day With pure sales only While also shattering streaming records my ******* fave
