Hurem Posted October 29, 2022 Posted October 29, 2022 Hold up, she did 1M+ in pure sales? Is it the fans mass buying the albums? Not a shady question, just surprised any album could sell that much in 2022.

Not a shady question, just surprised any album could sell that much in 2022. Typically Billboard has protections against this by limiting the number of copies that count for a single consumer within any given week. Of course the dedicated Swifties who want to complete the clock with a set of four are a notable portion of purchases, but they’re probably smaller than you’d expect. I, for example, have just one vinyl copy and one CD copy for my friend’s car and so I could rip a lossless version of the bonus tracks. I imagine there are a lot of fans like me who really don’t care to participate in the “collect them all!” thing that have been a part of this release and Folklore’s.
mael Posted October 29, 2022 Posted October 29, 2022 It's the fact that the album received that many streams while selling 1M pure is the crazy part. Seismic, meteoric, astronomical tingz etc.

DRjuss06 Posted October 29, 2022 Posted October 29, 2022 She would’ve sold 2m if she had withheld the album from streaming first week. I do understand that it is simply not possible anymore with most people consuming music via streaming, but Taylor shows that you can sell physical/digital dowloads still. I wonder how she’ll do in the 2nd week but I can see her do at least 300k with 500k not out of the question. This will continue to be the top album for the rest of the year. Interesting to see how Drake will do next week.
FightDragonsWithMe Posted October 29, 2022 Posted October 29, 2022 She makes it look so effortless too
