Nova_23 Posted October 25, 2022 Posted October 25, 2022 1.3M SPS in 3 days already. Yea she’s def clearing 1.5M. No way she only does like 150k SPS over the last 3 days
By the Water Posted October 25, 2022 Posted October 25, 2022 HDD is definitely underestimating her. Though I do hope her team saves some copies to ship next week if there are any left
Green Posted October 25, 2022 Posted October 25, 2022 If she already did 1.3 million, then she's doing 1.6 million for the full week
Cruel Summer Posted October 26, 2022 Posted October 26, 2022 Yeah I see her getting about 155k more SEA alone through the end of the week so 1.5m is on lock
PoisonPill Posted October 26, 2022 Posted October 26, 2022 Undoubtedly on her way to being the most successful female artist of all time These earth-shattering numbers for a fairly mediocre album by her standards... just imagine what she'd post with a stellar album with a pre-release hit single

Everyone just went in to consume the album. Whereas with other highly-expected albums the lead single will generally absorb all the streams on launch week. As an example, look at 30. When it was released, most of the streams were going to EOM because that was the ubiquitous single everyone already knew before the album dropped. With Midnights, people didn’t know anything and so they just went into the album blind and I think that basically distributed the streams across the album which is why so many of the songs are set to chart. I’m curious if other artists adopt this strategy of announcing an album, do PR stunts to build up excitement, and then drop the whole thing with no proper single? It would only really work with an established act, probably. But it’s an interesting strategy I’m sure others will try to adopt.

Any artist with a fanatical fanbase could do what Taylor did, but just to a lesser extent. She basically pre-sold the album for 2 months based on imagery and her name alone. The artist has to be sure the album isn't going to be critically panned, though, otherwise it's better to release a strong single ahead of time and let it carry the album on release.

This has nothing to do with what I said? Regardless, the reality is that very few people have ever had anything close to the fanbase Taylor has because it isn’t easy to acquire. Pretending this is a trivial accomplishment on her part is just delusion.

ATRL Moderator bluebirdsforever Posted October 26, 2022 ATRL Moderator Posted October 26, 2022 "Anyone" being able to pull a 1.4 million+ debut in 2022 is a new one I didn't think I'd ever bear witness to. Midnights has the biggest pure sales debut since 2015 (which was the biggest debut of all time), is on track for the biggest streaming week for any album ever, and its lead single is breaking a new streaming record every day. She's sixteen years in and this is her biggest album debut ever. What domino hasn't fallen? If it hasn't clicked for you yet, I'm not sure it ever will.

Harry’s House did 188,000 so I feel Taylor could easily be at 500.000.

It's not breaking the Certified Lover Boy weekly streaming record in the US. Global is pretty much impossible to estimate. She will smash the Spotify record, sure.
