Nnn, some you guys need to know that she meant what she sung in Break My Soul

 

"I just quit my job
I'm gonna find new drive
Damn, they work me so damn hard
Work by nine, then off past five
And they work my nerves
That's why I cannot sleep at night
 
I'm lookin' for motivation
I'm lookin' for a new foundation, yeah
And I'm on that new vibration
I'm buildin' my own foundation, yeah
Hold up, oh, baby, baby
You won't break my soul"

She's simply not breaking her back to please anyone and doing thing her own way. We're not getting any standalone visuals until the whole rollout of this next phase is ready

I don't care what ATRL says - 1M physical/digital sales in 2022 is equal to 3M sales in 2015 and it's just as impressive as Adele's.

I think gaga's record can be discarded since it wasn't done fairly.

It still counts. Cry about it.

reminder to everyone that's still making the Lover comparisons...

let's not forget that each of her million first week sellers including Midnights are fall (oct/nov) releases while Lover & folklore were summer ones (jul/aug) and I think that's what made the difference for the later...

no sorry, if the drop from 3.38M to 692k (which is almost 80%) was single handedly caused by the sales climate, then 2022's 1M is the equivalent of 5M in 2015

I don't make the rules :sistrens:

I’m talking albums.

 

taylor has not a single album that crossed 15 million worldwide, let alone close to 21 or 25.:ghostface:that type of magic hasn’t been captured by not a single artist of the modern era. Let’s be real here. 

What are you talking about, you’re still ignoring what I’m saying

 

Taylor does have 2 Diamond albums in the US — 1989 and Fearless. (And Red is pretty damn close, not even counting the multiplatinum 2021 rerelease :rip: )  If those 2 are Diamond off the US alone, I think you can rationalize the facts — they’re both above 15M WW (which ChartMasters and IFPI can both confirm, they’re actually both above 20M WW.

 

21 and 25 are absolute lightning strikes in the music industry and I don’t think we’ll ever see that kind of success again. But don’t downplay Taylor — she is very keeping pace with, and hell, at this point, outpacing Adele. They’re both the 2 biggest album sellers for women this century though and I’m not trying to downplay Adele I’m trying to get you to not downplay Taylor.

Some of y'all won't be happy until you've completely discredited Adele in every way won't you? :toofunny3:

Its pathetic at this point. Obvious success stans who will stop at nothing in order for their fave to be seen as the biggest female of all time instead of enjoying the new music  :toofunny2:

 

Adele's peak is simply unbeatable and everyone reasonable and objective will tell you this.

Ye, nah. 25 was simply something else. It was the boilover from the gargantuan 21 era that lasted more or less 4 years and refused to die. Midnights is in its own lane too considering how many albums Taylor released in the past 4 years. But 25 was a bigger event

It’s her.

Hi.

Its the smasher, it’s Tay.

No it isn’t. Not everything can be perfectly extrapolated like that between different time periods. Sometimes anomalies are just anomalies.
 

In 2015, people were saying that if 25 was released in the year 2000, that it would have basically sold 10 million and went diamond in its first week. They just extrapolated saying 3.5 million in 2015 is like 10 million in 2000. It doesn’t work like that. It is an outlier. 25 probably would have also sold ~3.5-4 million first week in the year 2000. None of this 10 million first week nonsense.

 

25’s 3.5 million is just an untouchable achievement that because of a multitude of reasons was able to exist independent of market trends. Midnights ~1.6 million is the same way. I would be willing to bet money that Midnights would not top 2.5 million first week sales even back in the year 2000. Taylor has developed a unique culture of buying her albums physically/digitally, and as a result the same people buying them today would be buying them in 2000 (plus a bit more from the GP). Unfortunately, we’ll never know for sure.

Yeah, people are gonna disagree just because they don’t want to admit it. But considering the market decline it quite literally is equivalent. Not to mention how this album destroyed every streaming record, so it doesn’t just have the sales.

 

Unprecedented is the only word here. Obviously though no one can or should attempt to downplay 25’s debut.

Red, 1989 and Fearless sold more than 15 million copies. Get your facts straight.

Swifties might enjoy the good debut of midnights, but they'd rather make us believe it's more shocking than 25 lol.
