Enrique523 Posted October 23, 2022 Posted October 23, 2022 Exploding first day pure sales AND breaking the record for most streamed album in the first day? That's just INSANE. No one else is able to do it like this. You have no idea how glad i am to be a Taylor stan, i would be FUMING if i was a hater
bad guy Posted October 23, 2022 Posted October 23, 2022 55 minutes ago, KatyPrismSpirit said: a top 10 hit is a top 10 hit and 1989 singles relied heavily on digital sales, radio and music videos. Nowadays singles rely on tiktok/playlisting, airplay and streams and tay has that box checked for midnights. Peaks don't mean hits though anymore. I mean the reason Taylor freefalls now on the Hot 100 is because of radio. In fact, Taylor has been ignored by radio for years. She has streams going for her, but nowadays Hot 100 longevity is directly tied to airplay and we see this with all these songs that have already peaked in streaming staying stagnant in the Top 10 My point is, she will never top 1989 again. But no artist can outpeak their career peak. We'll see how Midnights compares to Folklore in the long run, because that album was a career re-peak for her in many aspects.
Enrique523 Posted October 23, 2022 Posted October 23, 2022 Midnights will be her career peak in terms of pure first week sales but i think 1989 will remain her peak era in terms of overall success. She was dominating everything with 1989, both album and single sales.

Just because it probably won't be as successful as 1989 doesn't mean it couldn't possibly come close. We'll have to see. Also, Taylor fans ARE part of the GP, it's not Taylor's fault most of your/our faves can't come close to have a fanbase as big as her's. You sound kind of bitter honestly.

I had so much of a conservative prediction at 800k for the whole week, and she did this in a day? Will never doubt Taylor ever again. Abd the album is soo good, it’s a huge grower and I believe it’s top five, possibly top three in her discography. Is there news if Folklore and Red TV can come back to top ten of BB200? Yesterday her album streams were all over the place on Spotify. 1989 was up 10%, lover was up 7%, folklore was down 10%, evermore was down 30%. All You Had To Do Was Stay increased 120% for whatever reason We will have to see what happens the rest of the week. I think top 10 is pretty unlikely. People have no time with all the Midnights streaming. But maybe pure sales come through

Britney had true global hits in 2008 and 2011 & 2012. 30 years from now the public will remember hit songs not albums that’s why Taylor getting 1M selling albums but failing to get true hits for years now is something to not be ignored. She seems to be more of the female Garth Brooks (massive album sales, but not global hits) than a Madonna or Britney aka a global hitmaker! Britney's last song to spend more than a week at #1 on the Hot 100 was in 1999. A global hitmaker on the level of Madonna she will never be. Some of these alleged 'hits' have less than 50M streams on Spotify. Taylor triples the streams of half of Britney's #1s with only her album tracks. What is more, her last album to spend more than a year on the Billboard 200 was in 2003. These stats are quite abysmal for a so-called global hitmaker and/or album seller. Taylor just broke the record for the first album ever to ever 100M Spotify non US streams, while Garth Brooks never even managed to break into any international markets throughout his decades long career. Be real with yourself.

Rep2000 Posted October 23, 2022 Posted October 23, 2022 2 hours ago, KatyPrismSpirit said: this is 100% going to be her biggest era. She already has several music videos filmed so expect at least 4-5 MV's judging by the teaser. She will have more top 10 hits than 1989 upon the album debut week. She will likely surpass the 1989 first week sales unit. She will debut at #1 with Anti-Hero and its likely more songs might go #1. She broke infinite streaming records and records in general. Like this is not just her biggest era this is one of THE biggest eras ever. Yeah, no. She would just bomb the release week with multiple MVs in a short period of time ala RedTV's. And NOT the 1989's promo cycle you are wishing for. Prolong this era single-wise would only be a mere benefit for her tour. This sure to be her biggest opening week. But I doubt she saw it coming, otherwise she would have hoarded all those vinyl factories ala 30 ages ago. She would keep this era short and sweet with a big tour then preserve her good wills and overexposure level in order to release the rest of her rerecordings. She is running a marathon here, not rushing a big race.
Harry Posted October 23, 2022 Posted October 23, 2022 this lowkey proves that it’s not the market that was declining, it was just Adele. there was just no demand for her sorry sweetie. taylor is really showing out here in 2022 when the market supposed to be dead
Green Posted October 23, 2022 Posted October 23, 2022 If this is true then she's easily doing over 1.3 million Which means she could snatch Oops I did it again numbers as the second biggest openning for a female
KKCuteCat Posted October 23, 2022 Posted October 23, 2022 It's insane how she outsold 30 in just one day

KOMH Posted October 23, 2022 Posted October 23, 2022 This would be equivalent to doing 3M in the early 2010s. Literally unprecedentedshe's really coming for 19Katy9's NECK huh

You seriously and completely underestimate how strong albums have taken over singles in this streaming era lol. Singles are only here to sell *ALBUMS*, and not the other way around. The moment Taylor managed to sell albums without singles, it's all ready over for all other girlies who stuck on relying on TTH to sell mediocre album numbers lol! And for the record, Taylor is now a *global hit album maker*. Her streaming number globally (without the US's streams) completely destroys all her female competitions.
WERKER Posted October 23, 2022 Posted October 23, 2022 Go on TayTay show the world what you’ve got!! And then come back with a smasha pop song in the future! Love u girlie!
Peroxide Posted October 23, 2022 Posted October 23, 2022 She’s never releasing a lead before an album drop EVER again… this strategy has worked out perfectly for her. Its just comical at this point - nobody is coming close @ my “we should be grateful for anything above 700k first week” prediction a few weeks back… whew, I should never have doubted her.
