It's a 16 year old album, it's had a long time to collect sales. It was released during the phyiscal era and also it has had a while to collect streams from new/old fans

Debut was HUGE in the US (longest charting album of the 2000's on the BB200 if I'm not mistaken) + it had more time than the others to accumulate catalogue sales. But Lover, folklore and Midnights will all eventually surpass it.

In a year only Evermore won't have surpassed it tbh.

#18 on the Billboard 200 all-time chart, too  like nobody really talks about how gigantic it was in the US - it might have only peaked at #5 but it charted for so long

it spent 150 weeks in the top50,  even Fearless and 1989 could not do 100 weeks in top50 

[Dear Reader]

she's so insane

This was AP yesterday so it’ll probably get merged but I’m not surprised, she’s local to the planet earth.

Not surprised since the pre-order is and will remain the biggest sales push for Midnights. Could see it end up around the 6-6.5M mark when it’s all said and done

I'm assuming these increases are

partly streams + recurrent sales, but mainly due to her "Taylor's Version" numbers being added to each respective project?

6 weeks

Barbra, Whitney, Mariah and Celine will be snatched within a few years

[Protocol]

Omg at the global pure sales for Midnights. Almost 2 million already. And surely the vinyls will be a Christmas gift purchase for many as well so it’s far from done.

The way she’s coming to secure her spot right behind Madonna (and low key coming for her as well).
