Global megastar, only THE queen of pop!

I think Adele did 260k 

 

Amazing sales for the top 2. Wow

I remember we were doing predictions for both albums on BuzzJack a few days ago and I expected Midnights to do 110K total and The Car to do 60K, it's crazy to me how much better they're actually doing.

[Holiest Dreams]

 

 

I truly can’t. I wonder if she can do 200K.

[Bindi]

Insane numbers for both. Is AM's album that good?

[Carter]

ok now it make sense why taylor gave those tour presale because she had actual competition lmao

[Frozen99]

get that 200k debut Lord

[CHERLLOYD]

And where is Carly??

[Green]

Poor Arctic Monkeys

 

Imagine being blocked with those huge numbers I wish they had released a week before.

No, not poor Arctic Monkeys. I've seen this film before (Future Nostalgia vs. 5SOS) & I didn't like the ending!

 

The Arctic Monkeys have a huge UK following. And they can have tricks up their sleeves. Taylor's team need to push this more in the UK somehow.

30k gap is impossible to close when Taylor is wrecking them on streaming and on HMV & Amazon.

First international female album to open with <150k since Rihanna's Talk That Talk

They don't have. They don't care about charts.

I think the clash has boosted both their numbers quite a bit. 

I feel like that always happens in the UK. Good chart battles always boost the numbers of the people at the top. I still remember how Kylie Minogue and Little Mix battled it out for the top spot when Disco and Confetti came out and how that led to both albums selling way more than expected.

[UnusualBoy]

Huge numbers for both acts. Taylor may get to 160-180k which is really huge!

And better album WON! Now Kylie is about to score another #1 next year

Poor Monkeys  would've been #1 if they choose better week. Just like how if Avril released Love Sux one week earlier, she would've been #1

 

[Michael196]

Not them getting Little Mix’d 

[Stan.killah]

AM selling 100K+ of that disappointing album!? 

[Jude]

Block that irrelevant act, queen.
