How did it only do 1B streams WW when it's already at 785M on Spotify?

I think it’s a very general “more than 1 billion,” as in it didn’t reach 2 billion. It could be anywhere in the range honestly, I wish they’d been more specific

Just because you don't enjoy it does not mean other people are pretending to like it.

It'll probably end as the best selling album of the year, the best selling one so far is Bad Bunny's trash album and it barely passed the 3 million.

Using these ratios, it might've done about 1.16B WW. 

 

Rank, Title: Global Streams / Sales: No. 1, “Anti-Hero”: 141.9 million streams / 20,700 sold No. 2, “Lavender Haze”: 89.2 million / 4,600 No. 3, “Snow on the Beach,” feat. Lana Del Rey: 84.3 million / 4,700 No. 4, “Maroon”: 78.4 million / 4,300 No. 5, “Midnight Rain”: 78.5 million / 3,300

 

Youtube isn't that relevant anymore, Amazon never was, and Apple is only big in the US (and Taylor is a Global Artiste now).

350M seems super low, Amazon must be a small part of the streams but it still broke the opening record + if you count AM, Deezer, and all the other local services, idk it just seems off

idk, maybe it did more. The streams on Spotify were heavily skewed towards the original 13 tracks, if other platforms streamed the 3am tracks more, then maybe the album did more like 1.2-1.3B. I guess you can add an extra 10-15M for Bejeweled MV too?
